Christmas season is officially in swing.

So I'm sitting in the salle d'equipier getting quite frusterated with my stupid computer. I have now typed this silly update TWICE...no not once, TWICE. It keeps deleting. This is my last attempt then I give up. Right now I'm watching gilmore girls and eating some yummy Tabole left over from dinner. Ramone is cooking (he's our crazy french chief) who cooks with tons of dairy. Basically I live in the land of cheese and wine and I can't/ don't have either. Horrah!

On another note Christmas is around the corner. Yes it's only the 28th of November, but already we're beginning to celebrate. Yesterday we plastered, sanded, and cleaned the villa to the wonderful music of the Trans Siberian Orchastra. We have been listening to 103.3 everyday as it's begun the seasonal streaming of non stop christmas music. Sure it get's old and by christmas everyone is ready to give a sedative to dominic the donkey, but its still festive. If you didnt know or didn't yet realize I LOVE CHRISTMAS. I love the cheesy holiday stuff, the decorations, the whole message of Christmas, and just everything. Thus the excitment at the premier of the christmas season once again!

Justin...see I mentioned you. Happy?

Right now the DEFI kids are also getting into the spirit of the holidays. They are practicing their christmas pageant thingy in the salle cheminer. It's great. They dress up in crazy middle eastern esque clothing and then prance around singing and talking rapidly in french. Meanwhile Meghan and I sit and watch laughing hysterically. I'll post some videos of the performance later.

Yesterday we had PJ AWANA night. Pretty crazy. Then chorus where we practiced for the last time before the christmas concert. It's gonna be crazy! Tomorrow DEFI leaves for their week of evangelism. They are going to be traveling around performing and ministering and such. Actually I have no idea what they are doing, i guessed. On a really cool note yesterday in chorus Lisa like usual talked only in french...we are in france after all...and I understood everything she said. Kinda weird because I actually didn't think about it I actually didnt realize they were speaking in french. I just understood. Yes for progress. I love understanding something, even if I still don't get the whole morning devo thing I do understand some.

Alright this post has gotten long and random. A sure sign that I need to stop. The end.
