Philly Lights

after christmas, aj and i met my parents and my aunt and uncle down in philly to take a look at some of the lights.  we walked around the christmas village at love park, took some photos by the tree, watched the christmas show in the comcast center (a pretty neat 3d video show that is displayed on one of the walls in their atrium), and then drove around the city and looked for lights in neighborhoods.  i just finally pulled the photos off of my camera (yes, i actually took my camera! woohoo!), so here's a little belated christmas cheer!

That Time I Didn't Blog for a Month...

Man oh man!  This holiday season was just craziness for me, and unfortunately, that meant that blogging took a back seat to life.

Here's a quick update of what I've been up to….

December was filled with parties…a gift wrapping party with friends, a crafting party with the small group of 7th grade girls that I lead, an ugly sweater party, a work party, and Jen's bachelorette day of shopping and food and laughter.

December was filled with work…prep for our SEVEN Christmas Eve services, creating a white birch forest for our stage, decorating the building and setting up our Christmas Eve "experience".

December was filled with family and friends…a trip to Boston to get AJ, time spent celebrating Christmas and New Years with both of our families, and dinner out for Mom & Dad's 28th wedding anniversary!

January is off to a wonderful start so far, specifically with the marriage of my best friend! (More to come on that!), and we're getting back into a normal routine.  I'm fortunate enough to have AJ home until January 21, so until then, we're enjoying as much time together as possible!
