never quite what you expect

Those words ring incredibly true, right? Things just never seem to be exactly what I expect them to be. Not necessarily in a negative way... I kind of enjoy the surprise of knowing that if I come up with expectations (well, if I allow myself to realize my expectations) a little something different will happen that mixes it all up.
All of a suddent it's almost the day that we celebrate Christmas, that means the new year is right around the corner, and just as close is my flight back to the other side of the continent. =) I'm excited. I've needed this time, this change of pace, this abundance of familial love, and preparation. I'm thankful and striving to trust as this walk continues...
I'll have to write more later - I need to get ingredients for Christmas eve breakfast for dinner, I decided we would start a new tradition this year.
