i love to talk

but i feel talked out recently. hmm.

2 and a half more weeks till i'm home in winkler with my FAMILY!!! i'm excited :) although i have to get through 2 papers and 3 exams before then. i'm thinking a little mini-road trip to brandon and macgregor is in order before i hit winkler :)

i ask that each of you that reads this would join with me in praying for SNOW!! i want to be able to go skating outside and play in the snow over christmas break! i don't know what it is about my home that makes me so happy. perhaps all the childhood memories and such. the sad thing is that i am growing up, and even though i love going home, it's never quite as i remembered it. my perception has changed from being away, and that's good, but it's also a little sad.

my favorite things about our home/farm at christmas time:
- fresh air
- animals!!
- wood stove coziness
- candles all over the house
- the way our kitchen feels
- singing and conducting the hallelujah chorus with my mom all over the house
- dad reading the christmas story on christmas eve
- and a new "remember when" for this year...snowmobiling!!
