Anticipation

Some things I'm looking forward to:


1. Taco(less) Tuesday -Basically it's a young adults bible study. We used to have tacos, but now we have muffins and biscotti. Either way, it's a really good time. Good friends. Good music. Great fellowship. You should come. Really.


2. Megan's Return - She's coming home from her mission in Argentina in less than a month. I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it... It seems like it's been FOR-EV-VER since I saw her last! I mean, Audrey wasn't even walking when she left and now she can say her name (well, mostly she says "Bacon" or something, but still). I know things will be a little different (how could they not be?), but I'm excited to see how we've each grown in our lives.

3. Fall - I love fall. I love the way the leaves crunch, the smell of frost, pumpkins, apples, cinnamon, wearing scarves and mittens, crocheting (why yes, I am an old lady), the colors...mmm. Oh, and caramel chocolate apples. With macadamia nuts sprinkled on top...

4. Hockey Season - Justin and I are joining the Moses Lake Coyotes this year! Last year we played drop-in and went to clinics, so now we're ready to play in actual games...maybe...he is at least. Anyway, I'm really excited to get back on the ice. It's so fun and it's a great workout! Seriously, if you ever want to burn like 1400 calories in two hours, come play hockey. I never thought I could break a sweat when it was below zero, but it is possible. Plus, it's really fun to put on all the ridiculous gear and run into people.

5. Snowboarding - That's sort of a given. I'm just hoping that we can go more than twice this year. Also, it would be nice not to get stuck on the lift when it's -22 degrees with wind chill. At night. Seriously. I thought I was going to lose an appendage. My friend and I actually started to cry our toes hurt so bad. Good times.
