I can hardly believe it has been like 3 weeks since my last post. I had been doing so good. My heart is always thinking "this would make a good blog post", but I have yet anything to show for it.
This past week has been crazy busy. Today I ran to church for Sacrament and ended up conducting the music (the normal sister wasn't there), I stuck around long enough for the whole meeting before having to run off to work for a few hours. Omar is now at work for a few hours - he at least was able to stay for all of church (Yes, I am sure you are thinking "Sinners!!!" I guess it is good we are sinning together...just kidding - you gotta do what you gotta do - not much agency involved in this one).
Yesterday, Omar left in the wee hours of the morning to go to the Young Men's Mini Mission. He got home just in time for me to run off the baby shower I helped organize for one of the sisters I visit teach. We then went and put an application in for a new apartment - we went and looked at a bunch of other apartments. As much as we would like to buy right now, we would much rather have absolutely no debt and have a good down payment saved up - so we are moving to a cheaper larger apartment - YEAH for 2 bedrooms & 2 Baths!!! Then we went down to the Young Men's President's house for a mini mission fireside. What a crazy weekend!
Last weekend was of course the Thanksgiving holiday and we spent most of it in Orlando with my mom and family. We did get to go and see Omar's family a little too. We visited my dad as well. We went home to have some people staying with us. It was actually 2 boys that I babysat while growing up - they are now 18 & 19 years old - very weird. They were in Jacksonville for some concerts.
Basically between church and work - life keeps us so busy. I forgot what it was like to have so many meetings! I will be grateful for the Holiday break coming up - for my job it is from the 19 of this month until January 5!!! But it isn't a complete break for me as I still have to call matches and see how they are doing and reply to my emails and phone calls. I guess it is as good of a break as I will get from work. I will leave after we have our Youth Christmas Celebration on the 19th to Orlando to spend with my mom and then fly out on the 24th for Utah. Busy, busy, busy.
Overall, I am grateful that I have a job...we are truly blessed. I talk to so many people each day that do not have half of what I have and that does not even count the Gospel in my life.
I hope we can remember between all the hustle and bustle of gift buying and family time - that this season is really about Christ. This is a cool musica video that got sent to me about that - check it out:
