I love Christmas time! It is chaos, but it is beautiful...even in Panama where you are hot and sweaty. In the past I felt I was happy for Christmas day and the reason for it, but now, I'm just loving the season. I like the decorations, the tacky apparel, the spirit, songs, the gratefulness shown and the love. I think it's my favorite holiday. It also is the season that allows me to go home.
Even though it has only been about five months, it feels like forever since I've been home. So many things have happened, so many ups and downs, that I'm just ready to be with my family and get a break. As the day gets closer, I get more and more anxious. I'm quite sensitive.
The time is moving quickly-slow...and however weird that may be and however much you want to English correct me, you know it is completely true. I have been ridiculously busy, but being busy keeps the time moving so I don't mind. Highlight: A few days ago we went to one of our student's dance recitals. It was awesome! Way better then any of our dance recitals. It was flippin' freezing in the building (which was also amazing) and during intermission I found myself rocking, which apparently is now something I do as Rebecca said I'd done it the day before. Either my rocking was annoying or the man beside me felt sorry for me, but either way he gave me his sweater. It was very sweet. Don't get any ideas people, he was an older gentleman with a wife by his side. Also, please do not fill out an application to a ward quite yet, my body is just getting used to changing temperatures.
We're having a Cookie party tomorrow that I'm so excited about. I have never been more excited about a party in my life! I truly am a Cookie Monster. My father has raised me well, but I'll probably grow old with diabetes and a gut...probably turn blue, too...as in, depressed.
I am leaving many things out, but will be able to sit down and chat face to face with many of you. I am very much looking forward to that. Pray for safe travels, not really for me but my friends traveling to snowy, cold places. Pray for sanity the last two days of school. Pray for that day before I get to leave that I don't go back to my 'rocking' ways.
Love you guys and I'm happy to be coming home.
P.S. I wrote 'intend to stay' and pray for Peru
