You ready for another one of my lists?
- Stepping aside from my usual Chai Latte at Starbucks to get a Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha. It tastes like Christmas in your mouth!
- Watching 1-year-old Brookie digging through my purse, finding my camera and trying to make it work and then letting 3-year-olds Brody and Ethan take some pictures. They are too cute!

Brody and Ethan... cute, huh?
- Talking to my best friends on the phone. Even if it's just for a minute.
- Hanging out with my 3 and 4-year-old Cubbies at Awanas and listening to them recite their Bible verses. They are so smart. :)
- Walking into a clean office. We spent all day Thursday getting rid of the clutter... and we're taking bets on how long it's gonna last.
- Hanging out with the Kims. This could be an entire list in itself...
- Playing with Sissy Kim. Actually, her name is Kaimilani, but we call her Sissy. She is one of our 4th grade tweens and I love her!
- Making jewelry with Steph, Sissy's mom. She has more beads than any amount of beads I've ever seen and she makes beautiful jewelry!
- Being in their home because it's so welcoming and homey. Right now it's all decorated for Christmas and Steph is always cooking something. Last time I was their she was making soup and we drank hot apple cider and listened to Christmas music while we made jewelry!
- Decorating the Christmas tree we put up in our house! Steph saw that we didin't have any ornaments on it so she gave us some that she had in her garage. Just extras, you know! They are cute and I got home and wanted to decorate the tree at 11pm. And then I put up lights. I was too excited to wait!
Our beautiful Christmas tree!
- Dancing with the tween girls on Friday... a little bit a music and a little bit of dancing and you've got yourself a little dance party!
- And... drum roll please........ yes, OU will be going to the National Championship! Boomer Sooner!!
Here's our mascot. The Sooner Schooner! Go OU!
(I had the privilege of teaching everyone at Thanksgiving what a Sooner is!)
These are a few things I've been writing down in my journal lately so that whenever I come across a not-so-good day I can go back and read about the things that make me excited and the things I am thankful for! I call it "The Good Stuff" list. :)
Headed home in 10 days!!!
