Advent is one of my favorite seasons. This year I'm reading a scripture that is for Advent. Each day is a different one and I've really enjoyed it. Today's verse is Matthew 1 18:21. Gabriel tells Joseph that he should not be afraid of what is coming with the birth of Jesus. I love the purple and pink candles, I love preparing my heart for Christmas day.
The kids are finally putting their ornaments on the tree. Kate was home yesterday and today but she has to go back this evening for chapter and finals this week and then she is done. Jack has been golfing and Rick bought him another Christmas present, new driver. Seriously, it's Christmas every day here! Joe had a great weekend with friends and Kate and I shopped all day yesterday in Homewood. I even bought new clothes! I love them and I'm excited to go back for more. I'm at this crazy age where if you're not careful you'll look like you're trying to be a teenager and that is not good and if you're not careful you'll look like you're just a big frump! So I've decided I'm a boutique mama and thats just the way its gonna have to be from now on. The small stores really had so many cute things that aren't too young and they're certainly not old. I even updated my work out clothes. You know its time to do that when you're wearing them for five min. after they've been washed and they stink. Too many hot yoga sessions!
I've had such a fun season with tml designs. I have about 20 ornaments ready to be fired and I have to make four pillows and then I'm done. I seriosuly think I will regroup on January and clean my office and start working again. I have some new ideas and I'm excited to start working on them.
