How is
it November already? It feels like it was just August two days ago, and yet
here we are, with only 52 days until Christmas! Here’s what I’m currently up to
this October, I mean, November.
I’m
currently cooking all kinds of things. Although you wouldn’t think I’d be doing
any cooking since I don’t have a kitchen, but I have actually been able to go
back home fairly often to make myself some yummy lunches and dinners. I’m actually
cooking anything at the moment, but this past weekend I was able to make mac
& cheese, chicken enchiladas, and this super delicious dish called pizza
casserole, which is sort of like the top of a pizza—tomato sauce, cheese, and
pepperoni—and you put it over pasta, but sometimes I fill a tortilla with it
just because I think that tastes pretty good. Anyway, that’s what I’ve been
cooking lately.
I have
been planning fun events for my youth group at church. Although I am working
alongside with the other volunteers who teach in our group—which is fine with
me because I love both of them and since they have lots more experience than I do
I feel like I could learn quite a bit from them—I now “officially” have the
title of activities coordinator for our youth group. Lately we’ve been planning
a tailgate for the Carolina vs. Clemson football game at the end of this month,
full of food and plenty of games because we know none of us are really going to
end up watching that train-wreck of a game. I’ve also been assisting in planning
a Christmas party with fun games and secret Santa gifts. I’m pretty excited
about it.
I’m
currently smelling my Pumpkin Pecan Waffles Wallflower from Bath and Body
Works. I was looking for something fall smelling to spice up my room for the
season, and I found this scent the last time I was at the mall and I pretty
much fell in love with it. I really love things that smell like food, and this
scent was perfect because it was strong, which meant I would actually smell it
in my room, and because it is just the perfect fall smell.
I’m
currently appreciating, well, I’m not really sure how to answer this one. I know
what I’m thinking…just kidding. In all actuality, there are so many ways I could
take this, and I’m not really sure which one is the best. So, I’m just going to
say, I’m appreciating the color of the trees this fall, I’m appreciating the
way that all of my loved ones have really been backing me up lately—they all
believe in me, even though I probably don’t deserve their confidence, and have
not been afraid to show it. Those are the things I am currently appreciating.
Lastly,
I’m currently anticipating this weekend! Why, you ask? Because I am getting to
chaperone my first ever youth trip! This really ties in to what I am
appreciating, because the only reason I am even able to go, and with all my
expenses paid for I might add, is because the youth leaders and board members
of my church and our district NYI (Nazarene Youth International) president all
believe in me enough to give me this opportunity. So, that’s what I’m
anticipating, and appreciating.
That’s
what I’m currently up to! What about you? What are you up to this November?
Happy November!
