What is this feeling?

... I believe it's called "warm fuzzy"!! (Prepare for cheesiness)Let me elaborate:
I was on the phone, talking with my very-awesome cousin for like two hours. It was seven or eight-ish. I came down stairs when I was done... to find that my family had decorated the Christmas tree without me. Needless to say, I was quite upset. But then, (as it was my dad & brother who put most of the ornaments on...)being the perfectionist, not to mention girl, that I am, I had to rearrange almost all of the ornaments, which was almost as good. Then, listening to the "Tupperware" tape...

We turned on the tree lights. It was most lovely. It was almost like Christmas morning, the warming feeling you get. It was so... I don't know the word. "Warm-fuzzy" I guess!

Then we all ate a generous serving of peppermint ice cream (bluebell, of course) and eggnog. We the settled down to watch, "It's a Wonderful Life". But I was looking at our wonderful Christmas tree. :) That's all. Have a very merry Christmas!!

How I got my name (Prepare for EXTREME cheesiness!)

As I said, this is going to sound cheesy, so prepare. So I was reading some book or other, and I came across a word I didn't know: serendipity. I thought, "Oh, cool word! I'll have to look it up some time!" and promptly forgot about it. Later on, as I was trying to come up with a blogging name, the word randomly popped into my mind. On a hunch, I went in search of a dictionary. As we are still parshly in boxes from moving into our new home, it took a little while before I located the book in question. But, at last I triumphed, and looked up my word: serendipity: the gift of finding a valuable thing un-looked for. I thought, "Sweet. That's my name." Because, you see, I find myself in a case of serendipity every time we move. I nearly always think, "Ugh, another move, and there's no way I can make friends as good as I've had here, so why even try?" But then, as a sweet kiss-from-Christ (as my mother would say), God ALWAYS puts priceless friends in my path even when I'm not looking for them. So now I want to thank all of my wonderful friends (you KNOW who you are!), and know that I thank God for you on a regular basis. God Bless!!
