I just flew to Toys R Us to get the special gift that was on sale, and I think I’m pretty much done with my shopping now! Kudos to me. I’m sure there will be last minute things, but for the most part, I’ve got what I need.

I’m also gearing up for the 12 days of Christmas, and we’re trying to decide as a family who to “12 days” this year. I’m voting for the easy within walking distance family, myself.

And this week will be a killer as far as my choir calling goes. I need to be at the conference center by 5 or earlier every day this week except for today. It’s a very exciting, although exhausting week for me. To see the Conference Center all decked out for Christmas, and to realize that I get to be a part of that wornderful experience, it’s humbling, and I’m thankful for the opportunity. I pray that all goes well with the choir, and with my family at home without a mom

My heart also goes out to my friends who lost their moms last week. Two funerals this week, but I’m afraid I can’t go to either one. But my thought are with you, friends.
