Christmas Time is Here

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are on to the crazy season during which we celebrate very much. From being done with school for a while to the birth of our Savior we have much to sing about. I have put together a list of Christmas songs that I will be listening this season. Feel free to let me know what you think and what songs you like as well, I'll check them out.

Breath of Heaven- Amy Grant
O Holy Night- Andy Williams (Preferred)
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year- Andy Williams
Carol of the Bells
You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch- Boris Karloff
Joyful, Joyful- Casting Crowns

I’ll Be Home for Christmas- Frank Sinatra
Little Drummer Boy (Grinch Mix)- Jars of Clay
Mary, Did You Know- Kenny Rodgers
Go tell it on the Mountain
O Come, O Come Emmanuel

Those are my Christmas mix suggestions. Merry Christmas all.

Bucket List

As I said in the post I was working on a bucket list. Well, after much thought I have finished it, for now that is. I assume I will continue to add to it as I get older and continue to live life. The document in its entirety is about 5 pages, so I will not be posting that. However, I did promise a list of the highlights, as if anyone cares because I know nobody is reading this blog. Anyway, here are some of the better/cooler things on the list.

Spring Classes

Today I signed up for the beginning of my senior year of college. That's pretty crazy!  I'm super excited though. I'm taking Practice of Youth Ministry, Christian Theology, Family Studies, Practice of Biblical Counseling (so if you liked the post on Introduction to Biblical Counseling stay tuned for more), and Leadership.  That's 17 credits leaving only 20 credits left! I will take at least one internship this summer, hopefully both, and maybe my science class. If I did that all I would have for my last semester would be 16 credits, I haven't had that few since Fall of Freshman year! Crazy!

I woke up earlier than I had to today to register for classes at 8:30, made some coffee (again), and will probably do some stuff for my Bucket List now. Yes, I will post some of the highlights of it, thank you for asking. I worked on that most of Saturday and some of Sunday. I don't have class until 12:40 and then I'm not done with work until 5 but hey, if that's all I have to do today, it's a good day. 

My Snowy Sunday Morning

My fiance and I decided to not go to church this morning. As sad as that was it was probably for the best. Driving in the snow last night was not terribly difficult, but it was slippery and today is probably much worse. It is 20 degrees this morning, I hate winter, so the likely hood that all of the roads are ice is quite high. The gas thing was another issue all together. We are going to go back to my house for Thanksgiving on Tuesday night and church is so far away that there is a lot of gas used in one trip to and from church.

I told you all that to tell you this.

Because we did not go to church I slept until 10 and then took a very nice, hot shower. After that I saw some tea I had on my desk, which inspired me to make coffee, chuckle to myself. I then turned on my computer and began to check Facebook and emails and such. I opened my iTunes and it wanted to update, meaning that I couldn't listen to music because iTunes would be shut down to properly update. That changed the morning. I was going to listen to a playlist of country music or a sermon, I know they are nothing alike but that was the plan. Instead I turned on classical music on Pandora and began reading some of my friend's blogs. That inspired me to blog. So here it is, the product of that inspiration. My morning was not what I had planned, but it was much more enjoyable than I would have guessed. I am off to take a pizza to my wonderful fiance before she goes to work.

O yeah! I almost forgot, GO PACK GO!
