Love this time of year! I feel like as I get older years go by faster and Christmas totally snuck up on me!But I love seeing all they lights and the trees in the windows and the cooler weather finally makes it feel a little more real! I finally got my drivers permit so that has provided a lot of entertainment through out the week! With my first couple driving lessons with mi Padre!It's been really fun and i'm so excited to be one step closer to freedom of being able to go places by myself! I didn't really do a whole lot this week I was so busy all this fall that I got behind and it definitely has come back to bite me the past couple weeks!Been extremely busy getting back on track! But thank goodness for weekends to get a little break!Each year our church has a ladies Christmas Tea so I got to do that Saturday morning!  I also got the chance to hang out with a really good friend and his little sister this weekend!which was very awesome because those opportunities have become rare! Went ice skating for the first time this year!Then got a start on Christmas shopping! It was really good to hang out with them! We always have a fun time! I'm extremely thankful for a friend like him especially lately! God definitely gives us who we need when we need it! Not saying he is the only friend i'm thankful for, just that i've been extra thankful lately! Only 8 days ti'll my sister comes home i haven't seen her in 4 months this is the longest i've gone without seeing her! can't wait to see all my family and nieces! love Christmas time!
