1. Joe's birthday- I got him a few presents and made him lunch (homemade fried chicken with pole beans for a side dish). It was very quiet compared to last year (I threw him a surprise party), but he said that he had a good birthday! =)
2. Thanksgiving- Joe and I went to my Grandparents for Thanksgiving dinner. I got to see some of my relatives that I haven't seen in almost a decade! We also enjoyed some Christmas lights at the Bristol Racetrack and a nap by a crackling fire in the fireplace.
3. Christmastime- The Christmas season is here! Joe and I now have a Christmas tree up
and a small creche scene on our dining area table that my Geega (my name for my grandmother) gave to us.
I know everyone says this, but I think Christmas is my favorite time of year! Everyone really is nicer and when Joe and I used to live in New York the city would be alive with what I can only gather as the Christmas spirit.4. Work- Right now both Joe and I are waiting to see what God does with us here in Georgia and so far it's been pretty exciting to see where He's moving us. Joe just got freelance work at a Northpoint Strategic Partner called Southside Church and right now he's also working on some short videos that are very funny for Catalyst Church, another Northpoint Strategic Partner. I got to be there when he was shooting some of the footage for the videos and they are going to be hilarious.
I have the privilege of singing at Buckhead Church's UpStreet which is part of its kids' program. I've sung there twice already and I will be singing there the next two Sundays. It's fun singing with kids because if the song is right they will be dancing and jumping all over the place. Kids really have a way of praising God and not let anything inhibit that praise to Him. It can get a grown-up really excited about worship! Oh, and also about singing this next week, we're singing rockin' Christmas Carols, so I'm super psyched!
