New Blog

It's been over a year since I've updated, but lately there's been something pulling me back to my blog. I'm not sure why, since I wasn't really great with updating it before I completely stopped, but I think I'm gonna start writing again. Of course, it could be due to exams and the fact that I haven't wanted to study, but my last exam is in 4 hours, and after that I'll have plenty of time to update and not worry about school work.

I've also been thinking that maybe it's time for a new blog...I mean, so much has happened in the past year...like...um...well, stuff. So do I start a new blog, or do I just restart this one and pretend that it's new? I think that's what I'll end up doing. I do love the Middle Child.

School is done early this year. I'm excited about that, especially since I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping and all my inside decorations are up, so all I have to do for the next few weeks is to enjoy Christmas. And I plan on enjoying it a lot. Tonight I'm going to start wrapping presents, which I actually enjoy, although I'm not great at it (compared to some people in the family, who probably should have been born as elves because they're SO good at wrapping presents...) Next week I'm helping Julia make gingerbread houses and then helping her class decorate them. I've been looking forward to that for weeks. And then there's the actual Christmas holiday. So far my plans have changed daily, but right now I'm thinking mom and dad's on the 24th, Esther and John's for brunch on the 25th, dinner at mom and dad's on the 25th, then I'll stay over and get up early on the 26th so dad and I can start the big family Christmas dinner.
