Fun and Fantastic

What a fantastic week it has been. I really enjoy the time leading up to Christmas...even though my students are crazy and excited. I enjoy seeing their faces as the count down to Christmas draws near. I am very tired though. It has been one of those weeks of pure exhaustion. Every day and every night seemed to hold something to go to or be a part of. I was able to go to the Moscow Ballet Tuesday night with my cousin Elizabeth. The ballet company was performing the Nutcracker. We made a night of it and went out to eat to Walkers and then to the performance. It was a BLAST!! I am so thankful for a good friend (who happens to be family too) to go and do things with...Elizabeth is truly a treasure! Paul and I have been preparing the house for Christmas and getting things ready for family and friends to come through our house. I am a bit worried this year as I am just not into cooking. I feel bad for Paul. I am eating more , but I just don't feel good enough to put meals together. It really is hard to motivate myself to cook right now. I have bought lots of chicken strips and burritos that can be heated up and eaten... there is no creativity right now. :( Oh, well... at least I know that it will return someday!! :) I hope that everyone's plans are going well and that you find some time to rest in the One who created you and just BE STILL. :)
