10 Days ’til Christmas

Well, we have officially hit the ten day mark until Christmas and needless to say - I’m pumped! I have almost received all of Sat’s Christmas presents in the mail (just waiting on one package today) and the tree is looking mighty full of presents. I even started playing some Christmas carols on the new keyboard last night. Now if only I had someone to sing them with! Trying to sing “Silent Night” and “Night of Silence” is very hard to do without another person. Luckily I found the “Silent Night” song on the keyboard so that I could just sing “Night of Silence”! Confused? They are both Christmas carols and when written/played/sung in the same key that can be sung on top of each other - really really pretty. I might have to teach Sat how to sing today ;). I must say though, I have gotten even worse at reading sheet music and I wasn’t sure that was possible! it was nice to sing again though. I am seriously rusty but nothing that Christmas Carols won’t help me fix.

Lets see. . . what else is new. . . Oh, the term is over! Sat was at school last night until almost 9 pm grading final exams but now he is DONE. Now he gets to bum around for the next few days before he needs to get down and dirty with some research before the break. We also celebrated (kind of ) our 4 year anniversary on Thursday. Had sloppy joes and watched some L&O It is weird to think that we have known each other for 4 years, it feels like we have known each other forever.

Well, I really need to get Sat’s presents wrapped before he wakes up. Although I don’t normally do this - please keep both of my sisters in your prayers. Sarah’s son Collin is in the hospital with pneumonia - expected to be there the next 7 days. Sarah’s grandmother-in-law is also in ICU after having a hole in her intestine repaired. And on a slightly happier note, my sister Theresa had her third child on Wednesday - Sadie Elizabeth Brier. Pray for her as she adjusts to having three rugrats under foot.
