An Anniversary, The 12 days of Christmas, An Engagement, and Lights on the Tree...Its begining to feel like Christmas to me!

12 Drummers Drumming
11 Pipers Piping
10 Lords a Leaping
9 ladies dancing
8 maids a milking,

7 drummers drumming,

6 geese a layin',

5golden rings...

4 calling birds,

3 french hens,

2 turtle doves,

And a partridge in a pear tree!

Let me begin by saying congratulations to my parents! Their 22nd anniversary was Friday! Celebrated with lunch at Cracker Barrel =D Happy (belated) Anniversary!!!

Every year our church does a Christmas program. Most churches do, but ours has a very interesting tradition. Its the church-wide motions of the 12 days of Christmas. One group gets up and acts out the Drummers Druming, one group acts out Pipers Piping, one group acts out Lords a Leaping.....so on and so on. My group this year did "AND A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE!" I just wanted some record to say that I think we were the loudest. =) Haha! It was alot of fun
I'm pretty sure this year's Christmas program will go down in history as being something special for sure! The worship leader for the Bartlett Campus propsed to his girlfriend at the very end! It was so super sweet! I am very very excited for them!

I came home, and my mom and brother were starting to put the lights on our tree. I haven't really felt like Christmas will be here before I know it, and seeing the tree being put up just reminded of how close we were to Christmas and how close we were to the end of the year. =)  

"...Jack Frost is nipping at your nose...." Literally.

Dear Memphis Weather,
It's just not a normal type of year without you doing something insanely weird. I wake up one morning and there's snow on the ground. Less than two weeks later, it's 70 degrees outside! Literally, 12 days before Christmas I was wearing flip-flops. Just when i was getting use to the wonderful warm weather I wake up the next day and its 30 degrees again! As I type this I'm wearing long sleeves, long pants, and wrapped in two separate blankets. BRR! Personally, I'm not a big fan of cold weather. So Memphis Weather, if you don't mind warming up just a smudge or hurrying Spring up a little that would be GREAT!
Sincerely,
Melissa

There's too much drama at school. Here's what I have to say about THAT!

Save your drama for your llama's mama in her bright pink pajamas because it's not something I can deal with.
