I realized today that the past few years, I haven’t been involved in any sort of Christmas production – cantata, play, pageant, etc. That was something I grew up doing, and I miss it! Every year around Christmas I realize how much I miss singing, but I have no idea how to find these kinds of places, especially for someone who just likes choral singing and isn’t trained or a strong singer.

This year, our family Thanksgiving was here in Atlanta! My parents and my brother and his family all drove up from Orlando area to celebrate along with the rest of my dad’s side of the family. It was really nice to have everyone here. My parents slept in our den, and AJ, Molly, and Drew took the guest room. It was the first time having someone stay in our den and it worked pretty well!

I think I’ll try to stop making resolutions that I never keep. :-) January:…

We’ll still go be with family in Orlando, just not every year. I have to admit, I’m glad that we chose *this* year, because we got a white Christmas here in Atlanta!! It’s my first white Christmas, and it’s the first time Atlanta has seen any measurable accumulation…
