| New Year |
Hi guys. It has been awhile. We've been pretty busy. Our trip to and from BC was safe -thanks for the prayers. I just loved being there and seeing my family. What a blessing. The trip (6 days there) seemed to short - I just wanted to sit on the couch and read for a couple days. I have a couch - maybe I need to schedule in some reading time.
We spent New Years Eve and Day at a friends folks' farm. It was excellent. Relaxing. There were 4 other couples (friends from Bible school) as well as our friend's sister and parents. We ate well, enjoyed visiting, having tea, seeing their cute colts, watching movies... We rang in the New Year singing and praying together. It could not have been better.
Today the students came back. It has been very noisy in the dorms - many schrieks of delight as people reunite. Part of our job is to interact with students. I knew that today was a crucial time to hang out in the dorm a bit and visit with the girls. The thing is... I'm shy. Only sometimes, and usually just when I'm thinking about the thing I have to do. Lance is good to often remind me that once I'm there it will be fine. So, tonight around 10 I spent a teeny bit of time on each of the three floors of the girls dorm - just saying hi and welcome back - it was fine, just like Lance said.
I just finished ready a slightly cheesy and fairly predictable Christian novel. It's part of a series I read when I was 12 or so. I was at mom and dad's and just felt like reading a simple novel. I sometimes read parts to Lance, or updated him on the relationship status of the protagonist. I think there are five books in the series, I wonder if I will get sick of this type of book before I read them all. It's likely. Maybe I'll have to save some for future Christmases. Maybe some of you readers have read this series - "The Zion Covenant" by Bodie Thoene, book one is called "Vienna Prelude"
I'm tired and have a headache so I think I'll head to bed. The thing is I had a really nice nap today and I don't really feel sleepy. Just kind of restless and out of sorts.
I hope you are well.
