Bonjour! Here we are again! I am going to try this blog
thing one more time. Third time’s the charm, right? :)
Much has changed since I last appeared here. (I’m not even
going to attempt an overview here— I will spread those updates out over future
posts.) One change that was especially notable was that Jesse returned to
school. He completely changed career paths; before he took a couple of years
off he was going for music theory and composition, and now he is going for
biology education. While it has been a somewhat challenging year, it has also
been rewarding. To see him so enthusiastic about his new pursuit makes a part
of me feel fulfilled. And, of course, music will always play a significant role
in his life. Or better yet, both of our lives together.
That said, I am still excited that his Christmas break is
just around the corner. Have you read about the Love Languages? Yeah, I am most
definitely a quality time person. So, I get a little jealous of his homework
sometimes. :) I have already been daydreaming about lots of snuggling, hot
cocoa, shimmerimg snow (which has been strangely absent this year), and making
our own Christmas traditions. (Can you tell I’m a little sentimental?)
Speaking of Christmas traditions—what kind of traditions do
you have? Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. First of all, Christ
coming as a man to earth will always put me in awe. I know a lot of people don’t
look on the rest of Christmas so favorably, as the retail/commercial end of it
has gotten out of hand, to say the least. But, part of me is still a little girl
at heart, and there is just something magical to me about having a glittering
tree in your living room, singing Christmas carols, dimmed lights with spiced
candles, soft snow falls, hot cocoa by a fire, baking treats with family… It’s
just wonderful.
Please share your traditions with us—we are looking for some
fun ones to start. :)
Have a great night! Keep cozy!
Melanie
