Update :)

I love this time of year! As much as I HATE the snow and the cold, you can't help but feel the spirit in the air. Its incredible. I had the opportunity to go to forgotten carols with my family as well as one of my very best friends, Kris. It was so much fun to see his reaction to the music and the spirit in the room. Most of you had probably never heard of the forgotten carols. What it is is a guy that pretends to have severe mental issues and he also pretends to be a member of someones family that is staying in there house while there out of town. He pays a hospital to have a nurse, Constance Chamberlain, take care of him for the week. While she is there she helps decorate his tree. Each ornament has a carol, but they aren't your original Christmas Carols, Thus the Forgotten Carols. They talk about what the Inn keeper thought when he sent Joseph and Mary away. He thinks he knew this man. When asked when he was born, his response is "Just over 1500 years ago this may." And he thinks this is totally normal. Its a riot. I HIGHLY recommend it.

So I realized again that I am ALOT stronger than I give myself credit for. My uncle constantly reminds me of the lyrics to one of my favoritest songs EVER. Its called Mountains. It talks about a man in the army who lost his leg but he kept going strong. He trained through endless pain and pills so he could run in a marathon. It talks about a waitress who worked SO hard at the local diner day and night for less than minimum wage. But it was worth it all to see her son in that cap and gown. The best part is the Chorus "There are times in life when you've gotta crawl, lose your grip, trip and fall. When you can't lean on no one else. Thats when you find yourself! I've been around and I've noticed that, walkin's easy when the road is flat, them dang old hills will get you EVERY time. The good Lord gave us mountains. So we could learn how to climb. Well this world ain't fair. It can knock you on your butt. You can just lie there or you can get back up. You gotta get back up" Its a great song :)
