Sometimes I am inspired by my friend's posts. Some of my friends are amazing writers, and update their blogs frequently. It makes me want to be better about this, and become a better writer. But maybe my expression comes through piano or through photography. Because no matter how hard I try, I'm just average when it comes to writing. So at least I can enjoy others' talents in that area. :)
One of my EFY counselor friends, Caitlin, is home from her mission for medical reasons for a little while. I've been talking with her a lot lately, and today she took the time to put together a huge list of things I should bring with me on the mish (small things, but important nonetheless). As I was reading it, I realized how blessed I am to have so many who care about me and will take the time to do things for me like that. It was a simple thing, but it will help me so much!
So. Skylar is with Tiff today, and they leave Provo on Saturday morning! James is on his way home, and Steven gets home tonight. I'm so excited for this Christmas! It will be perhaps the last time our whole family will be together until after Michael's mission. That's crazy. That's like 4 years from now. There's a small chance we'll all be in one place for a brief time after my mission, but it really all depends on when Steven leaves for his. And Tiff and Skylar will be here too! This Christmas will be fantastic and sad at the same time. Goodbyes are hard, and I will have a lot of those within a couple days of each other...Even though I know it's just "seeya later." It's still goodbye for a few years. And as much as I don't want to think about it, I really have to in some cases.
Oh well. Anyway, I'm out. I need to go exercise my creativity in other areas of writing that are more important...no specifics because it's Christmas. :)
