At first, I was not happy about the snow. Yes, I know I live in Utah now, but I have had some bad experiences with snow in the past. I tried to change my negative ways and embrace the snow. I will be ready next time. I even bought a ice scraper thing for the car, with extended arm and brush. Very exciting! I should have taken pictures of the snow, it was magical. I will be ready next time. I will be buying some boots and a snow coat. Small steps!
I felt like I should share my resolves for the month of December. Normally, I don't have time to focus on Christmas for whatever reason. It can be a very stressful time. After driving around with some friends last weekend and critiquing CChristmas light decorations, I decided that this year would be different. My new focus for the month is to focus on serving others and the true meaning of Christmas. I will be doing a 12 days of Christmas with my sisters and other acts of service to bring the Christmas spirit back in my life. I have already resolved to be a temple volunteer next year, after Christmas to help continue that spirit throughout the year. I am enjoying this time in my life to reflect on the good things that have happen to me. As I as told my students, "I never said it would be easy, only that it was worth it!" (yes, I know I stole this from somewhere else, but it works just the same.) I can't wait to take pictures of Salt Lake Temple Square lights. It will be amazing!
This will be my first Christmas without my parents around because they are serving a mission in Australia. I am going home to Raleigh, North Carolina to spend Christmas with family. I am excited and scared, but I welcome the challenge.
