Drinking just-barely-sweet milk tea and cuddling under blankets on cold winter nights = lovely.

Rediscovered my love of King Arthur stories this winter break. I sped-read through Gerald Morris's The Squire's Tale series in four days. Good for high ideals, sweet romance, snarky humor, heartracing adventures, and deep friendship. Fun lighthearted reading from the kid's section in the local library.

Also, who knew that so many books could be read online for free via the library's digital ebook collection? =D

Coming back to CBCHC is odd: older, kinda more mature, looked up to (in a different way) by kiddos I'd loved and taken care of when they were littler (now they're as big or bigger than me!), honorary aunties/uncles wanting to catch up. It's easy to revert back to who I was back in hs... and yet, I'm not the same. Main difference being that I learned for myself who Jesus is while away, and I can't be who I was anymore. But it's tempting to pretend and slip on that old good-girl self.

Also noticed that most all of my non-church friends here in EC are guys.

And I really like petting dogs. so so so much fun.

Love-interest drama. (side note: I'm much better at talking other ppl through things than I am at applying good relationship-concepts to myself >.<)

Family drama. Different from before. So many nuances to dysfunction. God of reconciliation, help!

Looking forward to going back to Houston on Sat. Miss HCC/GNC/CEF/Houston folks a whole bunch.
