Don’t give up. Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead. You keep your chin up. It will be all right in the end. Trust God and believe in good things to come. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of... Jesus Christ, they come. -Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Christmas party
Today was a big build-up to a Christmas party at Sarah's house this evening. I baked over a hundred sugar cookies (literally) with a cool cookie press that Amy loaned me. I made shrimp dip, meatballs, & mint hot chocolate. Plus Tyler made homemade salt water taffy - that was fun. I've never made candy before - besides divinity and fudge. The party was fun - we played scene it!, how well do you know your spouse, and a white elephant game - I got a lovely orange leaf platter - perfect for me, eh? I thought so. Tyler ended up with a gift that I brought - but he really wanted what he brought, which was stolen from him at the very end! Pretty funny. I still don't feel well - my nose is red & chapped. I think I have a virus...I feel terrible...I don't want to share it with everyone at church tomorrow but I don't think I should have gone to a party tonight if I'm not planning to go to church tomorrow...sounds like man-made guilt, right Melisa? I don't want others to come to church and spread the "wealth" (read: sickness), so why should I do it?? What would you do?
