That time of Year

Really loving taking shots of things from above like this.  I think it looks cool.

Hot chocolate is just about the best thing ever.  Hot cocoa is pretty good, and the instant kind has a certain charm to it, good for adding to coffee at church on Sunday mornings.  But I will forever be a fan of hot chocolate.  Writing this now and looking at this picture of deliciousness just reminds me how much I love hot chocolate.  Melting chocolate and whisking it with cream and milk and a bit of chocolate malt ovaltine.  Mini marshmellows on top.  It's all just so yummy. 

The only thing is, I'd rather drink cold things in the winter.  But I make exceptions. 

Someone has a terrific monkey stamp that they tried out on the wall at the rec center, which is also where our church meets.

We're in those last few days before break that I need to dig into and study, but all I really want to do is drink hot chocolate and watch movies, read and play games with my family. 

I've already got a growing list of movies (including Clue: the movie, and Calendar Girls) and new books from the library on my shelf.    I've added peppermint ice cream and mini marshmallows to the grocery list.  And... I've been putting off homework. 

I've been mulling over the idea of going back to dance as my ache to perform grows, and we come closer to the performance of Nutcracker that I will not be in.

I've been thinking and praying about my future husband, and wrote him a letter. 

I've rearranged my room, and put up christmas lights. 

What's been on your mind?
