family

it's been a very good day

after an early start in the library, i went to Pauline and took a quiz which actually wasn't too difficult then debated in TheoProp that Ezekiel 28 is talking about Satan and not a human prince/king. And with that, I was done with all my major things for the year, besides finals!
Now I can kick back, relax, and delve into Christmas shopping/wedding planning!

After lunch, I took a refreshing nap before my mom and sister arrived to go Christmas shopping with me. We then headed to the mall where we strolled in and out of stores, surrounded by Christmas carols, while finding gifts for friends and family members and also picking up some great steals! One store is going out of business, and they're even selling all the furniture in the store; I bought one of those chalkboard/message board things for only $2 for our new home :)
It was so nice to just spend time with Mom and Rebekah-- just us girls. We had so much fun looking at wedding albums/scrapbooks at Hallmark. Rebekah found this hilarious book full of quotes about "Sisters." So funny yet so true!

After all that serious shopping and girl time, we decided on Chick-fil-a for dinner where we ate yummy fresh chicken sandwiches, steamy hot waffle fries, sweet carrot raisin salad, and sipped refreshingly cool lemonade. I then had the chance to talk to Dad on the phone and tell him of the great things I'd bought today :) It was good to talk to him... Last time I was home, he took me on a "breakfast date" which we've done since I was very young and has always been a special tradition!

I didn't realize how much I missed spending time with them... I'm so glad I have a family I can have fun with!
