I did it to myself

I just love my little girl. She has 2 tu-tus - both of them on in this picture (thank you Teara!). She love's to wear them both and dance around and twirl. It's fun to watch her. In other news, she LOVES High School Musical. I checked out the movie from the library a couple months ago because she loves singing and dancing, and I knew it would be clean with no scary characters. So I thought, hey, lets try it. Now she's hooked. We checked it out a few times since then, and each time she's watched it multiple times. Now she actually knows the songs - or what's worse, I know the songs - and frequently requests to sing them. But I guess there's worse things she could like...

Also, Aaron and I went to see the movie The Blind Side last week - loved it! What a solid movie. I'm pretty sure it was only 5 minutes in when I started tearing up. It really is good. I highly recommend it as a good family or date movie. It's really gotten me thinking of (1) how many families in our country live like that, and it's just not okay and (2) how can I connect the gospel to that situation, what part does the Lord want me to play. It's got me thinking...

It's definitely December

First, thanks for praying for me and for my visit with my friend. We had a GREAT time together, and it was awesome to go to her church and be prayed for there. I have a doctors appointment next week, and that'll tell me where my numbers are. I'm praying that there's improvement and that the Lord has brought some healing. But He did do a neat work on my heart and brought healing to some areas that I had been struggling with.

We had a busy Thanksgiving week overall. We went between both families and worked at home that week. Liv LOVES being with her grandparents. Now we're wrapping up the semester - it always amazes me how FAST the semester goes.

And I think most everyone we know got the same snowstorm - actually blizzard - last night. As one student posted on his facebook profile, "Where were YOU when you found out school was cancelled on December 9, 2009." All the UW campuses except 2 were closed! And as much snow as we got, I can't imagine what it's like south of us where they got even more snow! Well, definitely a white Christmas this year!
