Oh, sweet sweet winter!
Chocolates are always beside my bed when I go home. The house is all decorated with dozens upon dozens of fun Santa and snowman-themed trinkets which my mother absolutely adores. I can make coffee whenever I want. Oh, it's good to be home.
Home is a good place to reflect on your life so far: your current relationships, the rekindling of old friendships, and the state of your life.
Current relationships:
Well, I think I've resolved my issues with my father. This is good news, and at least 15 years coming. Not that I've given up... its just that I will allow the relationship to be as it is.
Due to my darling Elizabeth being in the Phillipines for the next month and a half, I am realizing that I love her dearly and miss her really bad. Oh, E-slice. I hope you're having fun!
My mom is one of the coolest people ever. She is so much fun. A lot like me, too (trips on flat ground, forgets to do simple everyday things, neurotic, etc.).
I love my sisters. Love them love them love them! Even if they are crazy.
Finally, Scot (my stepdad) is awesome. Amazing man of God.
Rekindling old friendships:
I am so bad with this one. When the phone rings, I look at the caller ID and think, oh no, what could go wrong with this conversation? I'm so bad over the phone... what if I say something stupid or boring and this person realizes, oh, that's right, I don't actually like her at all. WHAT IF I AM THE MOST BORING AND AWKWARD PERSON EVER CREATED? I would rather go read a book. But yesterday, after much scolding from my reasonable mother, I called several friends. It wasn't bad. Ah, delicious victory.
The state of my life:
Ha ha ha. Do I even need to go into this one?
I need to read the Bible more. I don't care what anyone says; this is the source of truth for me. Why don't I read it more? WHY?
I want to finish my book by the end of January. That's going to be really hard, but why not try? Crazier things have happened.
I'm actually really okay with the state of my romantic life, too. My friendships with guys are so satisfying and I'm being constantly reminded that God's going to take care of me no matter what. Good news, eh? My mom says I need to marry a Hoss Cartwright type, like from the old tv show Bonanza. I have no idea who that guy is, but she says he was gentle. Gentle? Is that the key? Gentle, kind, compassionate, sounds good to me.
So, in short, I am going to go empty the dishawasher for my mom. Seasons greetings!
