 Loving: I say this every time, but I am really loving life right now. My family is healthy, Matt's business is thriving and staying home with my daughter is a lot of fun. There is so much to be thankful for. 

Reading: I'm still reading The Night Circus. Although so many have said they love the book, I'm actually not too into it so it's taking forever for me to finish it. Matt is reading World War Z and I am going to start that once he is finished.

Watching: I really want to go see The Hobbit, DJango and Les Mis over the Christmas holiday.

Listening to: I have my car tuned to the local Christmas station, but in the house, I have been avoiding listening to anything. I like the silence when I get it!

Thinking about: Last week our community lost an a wonderful young man to cancer. This person was a childhood friend who left behind a beautiful family - his amazing wife and two children (with one baby on the way). Losing someone that I knew most of my life was incredibly sobering and strange, and of course heartbreaking. That loss combined with the Newtown tragedy really pulled everything into focus for me. I spent the weekend holding tightly to Brighton and Matt, praying more and worrying a little more too. Life is so short and fragile and I felt compelled to tell my loved ones how much they mean to me.

Looking forward to: Our family holiday party on Sunday night, our church's Christmas Eve service and time with our parents (on both sides). Last Christmas was so special since we shared the news of our pregnancy and this year will be extra special since Brighton is with us!

Making me happy: My daughter's constant laughter, my marriage, my girlfriends and the holidays. Life is good.
