The new book update

So, 1/2 month ago {yes..... practically 14 days ago.... seriously December! You're going by fast!} I wrote about book 'The Love Dare' that I bought/got. I have started it - it is good. But just as I am not good at all at 'blogging' each day, I haven't been reading '1 day' per day. Even still, I have been appreciating what the book is teaching me.

You see - I tend to be a competitive person, most notably, with myself. This became a really harsh reality to me when I started reading the book and the first day was about patience. My form of being competitive deeply involves loosing my patience with myself and the person I am playing with {or whatever the situation may entail} So, this was a good study for me. Instead of just taking the one day to try and 'fix' my patience issues, I purposefully decided to take a week. It was a good choice because had I just taken one day, I don't think that I would have really taken the time to fully see numerous areas where I am truly impatient and how that affects the situation immediately around me {namely Dan}

SO - in the past 14 or so days I really do feel like I have grown more than in a typical 14-day period - so that is good! I am excited to keep reading it.

Let's see, what else is happening these days? We are enjoying some down time from the busy summer, but not for to long considering that next week is the week of Christmas {already!} then it is the last week of December - and we have a wedding on New Years Eve!! We are really excited about that : ) They are fabulously fun people, and we feel honored to spend our New Years with them! Then we have weddings on January 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 16th, 30th and then February 6th! Whew! Then on the 7th we fly out to Fort Lauderdale Florida to spend 4 or 5 days in the Keys with Dan's parents and then a few days in the Everglades together : ) We're pretty excited!!! What a great way to top off a busy busy January!

Well, I should get to bed!

Love to you all,
~K : )
