Something inside

I've noticed something about myself today. While driving (where I have all my great thoughts) I got lost in ideas. That tends to happen when there is nothing good on the radio. I have realized that I need change and challenges. When I am doing the same thing over and over again my mind gets bored. While I'm good at something after that long I just put in the motions without the effort or care. At the same time I'm terrified of change. I don't want to fail therefor I do not want to try. For years I drove that old Thunderbird. That car was just a dream. As the years went on paying for gas got less and less fun. Only when I was forced did I start driving the escort. Anyone else feel like that?

The Holidays

I am so happy for Christmas to come. I have already bought my fabric for PJ's and it's already all been washed. (Little pat on my back for that one) As crazy as it sounds I do love black Friday shopping. It is just about the only thing that I will skip sleep for. Today we put up our Christmas tree and it is just so darn cute. We have a tradition that every year Matt and I exchange one ornament. When we start having children we will be buying one or each of them. There is a magic this time a year when we feel the love of our Savior and remember his birth. Our Father in Heaven has loved us the whole world that we can live with him again through the power of the atonement. Go read the story in Luke and keep it on your mind when you're shopping. Buying presents is nice and all but not if it is taking away the real meaning. I always want to buy presents so that I can show those people around me that I love them. Peace on Earth and Good will towards men
