Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

I can't believe it's been 2 years since I was home for Christmas...it's hard for me not being with my family at this time of year. 

But luckily, this year I'm spending the holiday with some good friends in Region 3.  

I'm headed to Becky's house for some cookie baking, Christmas music listening, crafting and laughter.   I'm sure it's going to be a very random Christmas but it will be one I'll never forget.

I hope all my friends and family enjoy this special time of year. 

I'm missing you all!

Spring Fever

I have spring fever, which is weird since I live in the tropics. 

So it's not the spring fever because I've spent months bearing the cold. I've been trying to figure out why I'm feeling this way. Is it because I miss the seasons? Is it because I'm getting a little tired of the heat? Is it because I love the feeling of spring time? Is it because I miss home? Is it because I've been looking at people's blogs and reading about the change in weather and the light, colorful treats they post?  Is it because I want some of that spring time candy? Or is it because I only have 22 more days until I'm home? I conclude it's a mixture of all these things.

I know I've been writing a lot lately about going home, I'm just so excited!!! And the idea of being home may be consuming me just a little bit.

Happy Spring!

Going A Little Stir Crazy

Happy Spring! I can't believe spring time is among you. I love spring when everything is new again, the weather gets warmer, the air is fresh, and lovely pastel colors start popping up everywhere.
4 weeks, 4 weeks, 4 weeks until I get to witness a little of this magic!

Lately it has rained a lot, there were a few days it rained none stop and I just wanted to curl up in my bed with hot chocolate, not because I was cold but because I imagined it was a cold winter day back home.  And this morning I imagined it was the first day of spring (or more like the first day of summer) because it was HOT. I was out doing some wash and the air felt nice and warm and I could hear children laughing. It totally reminded me of how I felt when I was little!

But I can't help to feel a little stir crazy

And this could be for a couple of reasons....I've been confined by my 4 walls for days now. I've gotten so lazy over the last year. I'm exhausted all the time (a mystery to me). I'm so excited to come home. There is no variety and it's wearing on me.

But I gotta just keep swimming
