Fortuitous Bouncing

After starting my new job within the past couple weeks and finishing the semester of classes, this weekend has been a life saver.

I started this Christmas season with every intention to enjoy it but now that we’re less than a week away from Christmas, I have to be honest, I’m ready for it all to be over. It is part of the hard part of working at a church. Christmas isn’t necessarily a season to enjoy, but really just one of the busiest times of my year.

We did get a real tree this year though
