Christmas Week

... it's bound to be a tough one. I know that doesn't sound too expectant of good things, but the family is gone, and after reading Jenn's last blog I'vew finally determined that every member of our family is experiencing some separation-anxiety. Holidays family-less are not exciting. I am content with where God has all of us, but I'm not excited about this week.

Jenn's birthday is soon, and I won't be there to hit her and love on her. This makes me the saddest. I didn't think hard about it 'til now, and I realize I'm missing a year of her life- during the most fun season- teenagehood. She's going to have changed so much when she moves back next summer, and I'm going to have missed seeing that change happen. Kind of sucks. Really sucks actually. She's my best friend, and since she's moved I've really realized that. I love looking at pictures of her and imagining myself with her. <3>

Ok, done writing. Much love!
