January

I was inspired by Andrea's December blog, but mine is without pictures (sorry!) and is a bit more detailed...not to mention everyday..hahaha
But this is what my January looked like...

January

2nd – Church, movies with Andrea ☺

3rd – Shopping with Mom, Tangled (!!!!), and baby sit next door neighbor’s daughter. She slept the whole time except for about 30 minutes with which I sang her to sleep. That’s right. I rubbed her back, sang, and she fell asleep to the sound of my voice. ☺

4th – Sleep in, dinner with Nathan Bolin, Worship Team, late night Rite-Aid excursion with Andrea…when they were closing. We were then politely asked to leave.

15th – Surprise baby sitting job for Kendra! Spent the day with Viola, dinner with Jen and Jerry, Moulin Rouge with Rachel, Adam, Dore, and Ryan, and singing Glee songs while making a gingerbread house, and truth or dare.

Amazing class time and amazing choir work/sectionals time.
