#309 - 334
a ten-hour trip that feels like two
being with Travis in lots of random places
two aunts and an uncle grinning from the kitchen window at the sight of my fiance (whom they hadn't met)
a Christmas parade
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade
Broadway performances on tv
finding the random store open on Thanksgiving Day
the new-car smell
the Muppets
realizing you've grown up, and it's good
a fiance that is also a good nurse
mountains with trees
the Blue Ridge Parkway
wedding invitations
warm cinnamon-sugar almonds
figuring out a good band arrangement of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
an uber-supportive mother and father (and extended family)
totally unexpected "happy engagement!" gifts
being reminded of Truth
the anticipation of learning a new skill
coffee cups that remind me of the people who gave them to me
cartoon Christmas specials that make me giggle
red bows
green and red, red and green
seeing the Body of Christ come together to support a hurting member. I know I've said that before, but I'm watching it happen again with the same group of people, different situation, this week...truly awesome.
