november

novemeber is a strange time of year. i like it because october has just passed (halloween!) and then thanksgiving is to come. with Christmas around the corner as well, i don't know what to do with myself. this year, i have Christmas to New Years off, without even having to ask for it. and no, i don't teach. rock on!

the cool, crisp air of november is nice as well. this is my first for the detroit area, and i hope to make the best of it. i'm still the girl who asks people to hang out (it's been a solid couple months, now). i'm amazed at how much better it seems like people like me b/c i ask them to spend time with me. i like that.

this wknd is the fall retreat with the high school youth group. i'm both excited and quite overwhelmed. sometimes, i think that i am not supposed to be a part of this group, and other times i feel like i am right where God wants me. i don't know. i just wish that it was as easy as it was last year. although, i do think that it was better after the fall retreat there, so maybe i'll give you an update later. we'll see.

i'm hoping to take the husband out west this coming spring. i think that we need it. i almost wish that we had the freedom to go where ever we want for new years (which, we do, but i also want to hang out with the college peeps) and go west. who knows. i think that we're actually talking about going overseas in the spring at this point, but we have been known to talk without doing.

i'm exhausted this week from not really doing anything. i think that i worked a total of maaaaaybe four hours the whole week. i think that doing nothing can be tiring.

yes. yes it can.

i hope that i still have energy next week....

i'm off to a sleepless weekend with some 14-17 year olds. (and maybe a couple lucky 18 year olds that were oldies like me in school)
