Another week is on it’s way out and DID YOU KNOW THAT CHRISTMAS IS A WEEK FROM SUNDAY? I sure didn’t until yesterday. Yikes! It’s been nice knowing you, December, but I see you’re on a mission to get the hell out of Dodge so I won’t hold you up any longer. So, on to it! Here are all the things I love!

THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE THIS WEEK:

• My lunch appointment on Friday.
• Board Game Night with Lori.
• Awkward Family Photos-style Christmas cards!
• Random trips to Georgia.
• Good live music by this guy.
• Hot cider.
• Meeting old friends.
• Sleeping in.
• Shopping and finding really sweet deals!
• Bonfires with friends and fellow artists.
• “Gourmet” s’mores and melted shoes.
• Hearing Emily say she looked up to me and Dan, “…because you’re nice. And you visit me in the hospital when I dislocate my knee.”
• Promising lunch meetings.
• The therapists at my physical therapy clinic.
• High of 75 in December.
• Talking about our awkward stages.
• A night of worship and communion, even though it made me burst into tears. (See above photo.)
• Hugs, especially when they’re accompanied by the words, “You can do it,” and, “I promise.”
• Peace.
• Three part harmony.
• God and grace.
• My amazingly talented group of friends.
• Late night dinner dates.
• Hamlet’s cuddly nature, even at 6 in the morning.
• Spontaneous sushi lunch dates with the hubs.
• The hubs in general. I am so blessed by him.

That’s all I’ve got, folks. How about you? What do you love this week?
