Frigid Weather = book by the fire, warm coffee and rosetta stone

I have finally obtained the newest Donald Miller book A Million Miles in Ten Thousand Years!!  I am so excited to read it as I have heard so many good things about the book!  I read through the first few chapters today and it was very hard to put it down.  I am sure I will write about things I love in the book.

Today the high in Kalispell was 6 degrees, but I do not think I saw it get above 0 in the few times I saw the thermometer in our house.  So today was a perfect day to sit on my couch and curl up with the new book.  I also got started with Rosetta Stone!  I am so in love with the program and have flown through the first unit in level 1.  The best thing about the program is the live lessons with native speakers.  I have done three lessons today and one yesterday.  Its hard and challenging and forces me to use every facet of the language.  I know it will be hard to keep up while in school, but it is one of my life goals to be fluent in Spanish.

Being home has been great.  I got to talk to my brother today and I was reminded how much I miss my whole family being together.  This past May, Lydia and Burk came home when I was home for break between semesters and it was one of my favorite trips back home.  As much as I love living in a big city and traveling all over the world/States, there is nothing like being home with my family.  So tomorrow when we are making lefsa and turkey, I will be thinking about the two missing family members and how much I love and miss them!  Though, I thought it was funny since Burk isnt home, we didnt even buy a pumpkin pie :)

Happy early Thanksgiving everyone!
