I've been told I stink at updating this....

...but oh well... it is amazing how fast the holidays have come up on me. I will finally get to go home for more than just a couple days! This means I will hopefully not only catch up with my family more, but get to see the whole Cutler, Holland, and Reid Walker families a little more. Not to mention all the Christmas festivities!

In Chicagoland, things are finally sort of predictable. I have been managing to get myself up early most weekdays to go to the Y on my way to work, I am working with several new families and a few of them I am really excited about because I think we may be able to make some really great steps forward. The other news at my job is that I think I'm going to try to start a lending library through our center. A lot of our families don't have easy transport to the library, so many of our families end up with little access to books. So I think I'm going to try to find donations for young children's books....any ideas let me know ;).

So my life is mostly work, study, sleep, and hanging out with my housemates. Tomorrow they have 'caroling at the bean' which some of the housemates and I are going to, and Saturday is the Polar Bear Plunge into Lake Michigan. It's a fundraiser for LVC, but since I haven't raised any money (not my favorite thing to do) I refuse to jump in the water...but I'll go cheer!

I'm sure there's much more that I am forgetting to say, but it will have to wait.

Happy Holidays!
