Merry Merry Christmas!

My transcripts finally came, my residency applications are done, and I have put them into the mail!

Now...I wait...

But it's okay, because it is Christmas. And I am excited. Its weird, because I already got all of my presents (money from the Grandpa's and my mom got my hair done), but I almost prefer not to get them because it helps me focus more on the real meaning of Christmas-CHRIST.

I am so blessed to have a testimony of Christ. To understand his atonement and to understand what love and service and sacrifice are all about. I'm loving home and embracing all the challenges. Heavenly Father put me in this family for a reason and although most of the time I feel so very different from them, I love them with all my heart and I am grateful that they are mine.

So for this Christmas, I'll snuggle up close to the ones I love and remember all that CHRISTmas is really about.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
