Wow, it's been forever since I wrote. I'm not even going to try to catch up. I'm just going to start from right now.
Right now, Nathan and I are hanging out on the couch. Zihan is doing homework or studying for her TOEFL test at the table, I think. Dan is just coming in from shoveling and cleaning off the roof. Church was cancelled due to snow so I got to sleep in! It was heavenly.
Last night, Dan and I went to his company Christmas dinner at Marco's in Lewiston. We sat at a table with Cherie and Kendall, Kori and Tim, and another couple from the Bangor store. It was a lot of fun visiting with everyone. The group talked a lot about Disney because the Hills are going in a couple weeks, Tim and Kori have gone several times, and the other couple had gone, too.
This Christmas, we're doing something new. I found a 12 days of Christmas activity on Pinterest that I printed out. We're reading a story each night, and eating a treat that goes with it. I know you're supposed to start it on Christmas day, but I'm kind of doing it backwards and started yesterday, so our last day will be on Christmas. I hope it will be a fun activity.
Nathan has his Lego calendar this year (this is the 4th or 5th year). He chose the Lego city one instead of the Star Wars one he chose last year. I filled our regular advent calendar with Lindtt white chocolate truffles for Zihan because she doesn't like regular chocolate. She's been eating one each day. She loves it. She loves our tree, too, and Lillian made her a stocking to match Megan and Nathan's.
The biggest news of all is that I may be starting a new job! It still needs to be approved by one of the higher ups but it's looking good. I'll be working for Western Governor's University as an evaluator. It will only be part-time for a while, so money will be tight, but I'm willing to sacrifice in order to have less stress. I'll be working from home. I'll be able to bring Nathan to school and back each day, and hopefully do some volunteering at Boxberry. I'm so excited! I am a little nervous about the financial aspect, but I'm so ready for a change.
