The winter is finally subsiding! There have been numerous days with sunshine and blue skies! So many that I've lost count in fact!
To recap:
Christmas and New years great fun but I missed my family. I plan to spend the next holidays with them not matter where they or I are! Since this a college town and a lot those in our church are students, many when home for the holidays, so for a month between Dec and Jan it was kinda lonely. But then everyone came back and I left! I went to Germany to visit my folks for two weeks! It was amazing! There was lots of snow, good food, helping at the college, making cappuccinos and watching Jonathan be awesome at basketball.
Then back in Cork! To be honest I've been a little down since I came back. It was so refreshing to be with family and friends who have known me for a long time, then to come back and get back into building relationships mode was tough. I know God is with me and He is my friend. Its a struggle to let Him be so close when you want something else. But I'm coming out of it (I think the sunshine helps!) and in fact I am going to have dinner with three girls tonight!
Right now though I am going to be baking banana bread! It's like therapy! Plus it's kinda a creative outlet. Something I need right now! If you can believe it all my jewelry making equipment has been misplaced! We're not even positive what continent it is on! And I don't have the money to go buy replacements or any other are supplies right now. So baking will have to suffice! At least other people can really enjoy it afterwards!
