Who thought it would be a good idea to have me in charge of 2 large scale Christmas parties for my church?????  Well, they are over and done with, and I must say, I had so many great people helping me.  Here's  a glimps of just one of the parties.

Nah, I kid!  We DO love each other, and here's the pic to prove it!

I'm getting ready to break in my third pair of running shoes tomorrow morning.  Three pairs of running shows that represent over three years since I started running.  There are days that I hate it, there are days that I eat chocolate right after, there are days that I create genius ideas in my head during the run (and have a journal just for those thoughts), and there are days that I witness gorgeous sunrises and I become very aware of the blessings of being alive.  I look forward to those days the most.
