Last week at this time I was playing piano in my college choir room, working out all of the chord changes for Morgan's competition last weekend. OH, what a blast that was to be a part of! :) And she won! OH HAPPY DAY!
Wow, I really wish I would have taken advantage of more opportunities to sing with my sister. I wish I would have taken the time to write more songs. I hope that I'll have the opportunity to sing together with her more in the future. It brings me great joy!! :)
Other FUN happenings of this past week included...
...going with my sister to a college play, Terror Texts (terror stories from the Old Testament!)
...going to an Episcopal church service where I worshiped with college friends and professors and pondered scripture from Matthew 25
...going to Disney on Ice with the most animated Disney friend I have. ;) (It was really cute how excited she was! And the show itself was pretty impressive, I must say. I always have thought watching people do amazing tricks on ice was pretty cool. Oh, and we went out for Blue Bunny afterwards... SO good, and I just LOVE the smell of that place. Seriously! I know I'm a dork, but that JUST ABOUT gets me more excited than the taste of the yummy ice cream.)
...singing with my old college choir. (I absolutely love to slip in during their practice when I'm in the area. This is one of the things I miss most about my NWC days...)
...visiting with some of my favorite NWC friends and professors, and even a few of my classmates back home on their break from seminary
...watching some great movies with friends and family... like The Guardian, The Visitor, Reservation Road, and my all time favorite love story to watch this time of year: Serendipity.
...sending out another wave of update letters about Greece to more friends and family!
...discussing getting a young people's Bible study going in my church with some of my favorite friends in the area! :)
...squaring away even more details for my return to Greece - money things, buying a plane ticket!, etc, etc...
...finishing all of my "reading through the Bible" devotions (I had actually finished reading the Bible straight through a few months ago, but got behind on my supplemental readings I was trying to do with it)
...getting Thanksgiving traditions rolling with the big Rozendaal reunion Wednesday night which involved incredible food and fun games of Skipbo
...visiting great grandma (for the last time in her "airport house") with Mom, Mo, and Charlie for more reminiscing through old pictures, cards, invitations, and programs from special events. :)
...and spending today, THANKSGIVING, with my wonderful mom, dad, bro, and sis. We went to church, ate incredible food (thanks for the good cookin' mom!), watched a good movie, played some games, relaxed, and... made plans for the rest of the weekend together.
I'm so so so blessed. What a fun week! And this week ahead is quite jam packed with good things too. I'll continue to do my best to record the details on this blog. :) Off to sleep now!

Oh! Serendipity! It's my all time favorite romance movie too. I've watched it at least 100 times (many of those were during middle of the night feedings with Xander, Emmersyn AND Aniston! :) Just ask Chris. I watch it, he walks in and says, "Again?". But every single time I get chills during the part where Jonathon opens the present from Halley. And then again when he shows his buddy the gift when they get in the cab. Love it! And now I want to watch it but it's PACKED AWAY! (Sigh)
