Yup. I'm home.

Dad: "Something smells hot. Oh, that's right. You said you were thinking."

Oh, Dad.  But I suppose that just goes along with the job description.  :)

Tidbits

 

Google usually comes up with some fun art around Christmas time. I like it.

I also like the fact that the sky is no longer clear blue. It is also a little windy today. The gray sky is much more Christmas-y since we can't have snow. Some morning fog or rain would make the day perfect. I hear they are getting quite the storm back at school. It will be interesting going back in January. I must say it is nice to be able to jump in the car here and not even have to THINK about the possibility of ice on the roads.

Have I mentioned that I'm happy to be home? It was so nice seeing everyone at church yesterday. I missed my church family while I was at school. It is REALLY nice to have a brother around again too. :) Peter's random movie quotes keep me laughing and I missed our conversations together too. And, of course, there's the teasing. Brothers. Gotta love 'em.

Saturday pizza. It's tradition.

Tonight I am making pizza for the first time in over FOUR MONTHS.  Whoo-hoo!  Garlic!  We need more garlic in the sauce!  Mark and KT will be joining us along with another friend from church, and we will be watching our more recently added Christmas family tradition of "Home Alone."  It gets funnier every year.  :)

Home sweet home

Enough said.

Brrr!

The forecast for tonight is calling for a low of 17*. (Good thing I put on my down comforter today.) The low for tomorrow night is supposed to be 36*.

And that's only because tomorrow night I will be sleeping in California weather.
