| ^ Thanks Nick Confer and the White Elephant:)
I want to go back but I don't. Reading Andrea's post from yesterday (I
think?) made me want to reread my old ones, and I said in January that
I was less happy to go to school than I was in September, but when I
got back I was even happier than when I went in the first place. Fall
semester was much the same thing: I didn't want to leave this place
after the summer, but once I got back I couldn't imagine being anywhere
else. It seems like every time I am anywhere nowadays I appreciate it
more than when I left it. China was about the only thing that only took
me once, but it's a good thing since I may never go back! But I can't
wait for next semester to start but at the same time I don't want to
leave here yet. I'm really glad Dan is coming in tomorrow and he wants
to see where Mike and Drew and I live and all. It'll make me happy for
someone to see it who hasn't before. I just hope he, and anyone else
who gets to be here for the first time, feels a tiny bit of the love
that I feel from this place.
The town, the school, MY
FRIENDS, my wonderful family, and now my Church, which has newly
become really active and exciting. <3
I don't know if it has to be here or not, but I can't see myself having a family anywhere too much unlike Latrobe

| Yet again, these Kids make
everything wonderful. After a morning well spent with my sisters and
Mom shopping, a quick nap and a fantastic dinner with my family, it was
off to Mandy Bangor's for a Christmas Party. We had a room full of love
and lots of laughing, a freakin awesome White Elephant gift exchange,
and plenty of Catch Phrase (Gender Wars). Then we spent the rest of the
evening in the family room singing and talking. We got a little
segregated just by the way we all sat down because it's a little hard
to have one massive conversation with 10 or more people, but there is
just such a closeness with them all. I just love it.
Decision of the night: I think often "I don't think I could ever
______" whether the blank is "reach thirty and be alone" or "go to a
foreign country and know no one" or anything at all, but I realized
that I've already done things that I said before I thought I couldn't,
or would not make it through. Talking with Kristie, Andrea, and Lee
tonight we were discussing how it seems like we are selective in
"choosing our friends" because we are all intelligent, talented, and
fairly attractive. Not to toot our own horns, just that when we went
away to school we all found that most of our friends were on the better
half of the looks scale, and being "the Choir Kids" itself indicates
some level of musical prowess, and for some reason we're all pretty
smart. But I find that another thing we all have in common is that we
just DO things. maybe we're not always the best planners within our
group, but we are all people who don't let much hold us back. And I
like it  Whether it's part of the faith
in God we all share as well, or a strength that can arise from being
able to depend on deep seated friendships, or just another thing that
led us to each other, or something else altogether, I am not sure. I
just think it's pretty cool.
SOOOO tired. goodnight! :).

| I know most of them have already talked about it, but I need to say my share .
CAROLLING! wow. when we had our
first little reunion of the Choir Kids at Eat N Park (of course) after
we all got home for break, I mentioned that I wanted to do it again if
anyone else was up for it. Big surprise that with the option of being
together, and singing together nonetheless, the plans went through.
December 21st, the celebration of the 20th year since the birth
of one of the people who has most blessed my life, 9 friends went out
singing to celebrate and prepare for the festival of the 2005th year
since the birth of the One who blessed all of our lives
We sang at Latrobe Care Center, then a nice rendition of "We wish you a
Merry Kristie" and "Kristie Bells" for poor mono-ed Kristie. 
SO bummed she couldn't be wish us, especially since that means she was
sick. But after that we made our way to my Gramas, where the rest of my
family was +Aunt Bib. They all shed a tear, as did I almost every song
because, well, Kids, you never let me down. You sounded fantastic.
THEN, we went to St. Vincent to see the Nativity and ended up singing
there for at least 45 minutes, in the empty Church with the excellent
echoing acoustics. We also spoke to Fr. Tom and explained what we were
doing there. And as we went aroung the group saying where we all went
to school (not a single one the same) and the years we graduated (3
years, and we had Nick, too. a different HS), I couldn't help but
realize how blessed I am to have you ALL. We may not all talk all the
time at our colleges, I know I may be the worst about that (PLEASE,
yell at me and talk to me more!), but there is a love in that
group that is so strong and lasting. You are all dear to me, and I
really hope you know it!
So as we sang I couldn't help
but wish that someone else was there to hear. But of course someone
was. On such an occaison, with such special and wonderful people,
celebrating such a holy and momentous day- who else need hear the music
besides Jesus, God, and the population of Heaven? The Choir Kids make
me feel closer to the Lord, and closer to very Life than much else
does, if anything. Thank you all so very much.
Then, we had Birthday cake for
my girl, and played What If and got to catch up and hang out for a
while.:) But you're probably tired of me gushing, so I'llmove on. My
Christmas was beautiful. I went to midnight Mass with my Mom and Erin
because Jamie was singing. Her voice has just gotten so lovely, and the
mass itself was the same. I love incense, and there was plenty of it.
Incense at Mass to me just serves as inspiration, and a reminder as I
watch it rise to be good and strong in hopes to rise as well.
After Mass we slept and woke up to do presents at our house. Anymore
I like watching everyone else more than doing my own, and I was
quite excited by how much Jamie liked hers. We next went to my Grama
Josie's and spent the afternoon with Dad's side and went to Greentree
to my Grama Wallace's in the evening. Every year I feel more greatful
that I have such a close family. We are all certainly different people
with different lives and different thoughts, but we all come together
with so much love in one room and always have a wonderful time. Stayed
at Grama Wallace's and we just got back a little bit ago. I must get
going, but
Merry Christmas to all, keep the reason in mind! And best wishes into the New Year!!

| Last post? May. woohoo!
currently an entire semester
wiser... and more worn out... I make my return after an amazing night
back in Latrobe with the Choir Kids. I always know that I miss them,
but every time I'm with them I remember exactly why. You guys are the
greatest. ENP-style, lotsa "secrets", then Family Guy and Airplane!,
but as far as I am concerned just sitting around with you guys makes it
all.
It's late, and I have Church in not too long, so more later, b/c I have 2 weeks to do NOTHING!
and that feels amazing
