i heard the bells

1. church

i love going to church. i love how i feel when i'm there. i love how it's teachings help to make me a better person.

2. music

today i've been listening to i heard the bells on christmas day. i love the version by sarah mclachlan. click on the link to listen. my favorite part is the verse - 

"then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"god is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
the wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
with peace on earth, good will to men."

3. karen's crack brownies

holy moly. karen makes these brownies. and let me tell you. i think she puts crack in them because they are so good and addicting. i ate a lot of them today.

4. movies

my roommates and i are really really good at watching movies. we've watched one every night this weekend. i think it's a problem...but one i don't really see a need to fix.

5. christmas lights

we have christmas lights in the living room and around the outside of our front door. they are sparkly and twinkly and happy! christmas lights are definitely one of my favorite parts about this season :)

here's to hoping we don't all die this week...since it's finals prep and all. i'll keep you updated :)
