My fairytale ♥

My life is seriously so freakin awesome! I have the best friends and family in the world, I have the best job in the world, I have the gospel in my life, and a husband who WORTHILY holds the priesthood. Yeah my life is awesome! Today while witnessing a trust one of my bosses said "Let me do introductions, this is so and so and this is Randi, our paralegal, she keeps us in business and is our better half" after the last few days, i was feeling pretty useless, since im so new (5 months) i dont know how to do everything, but im learning, so it felt good to hear that I was doing a good job :) Work has been busy, but awesome. I love my job! Life other than that is same ol' same ol'. Work, sleep, eat, sleep, work, etc.

Then just like me you'll know... HE WAS HERE!

I love love love this time of year. The spirit in the air, the spoiling my family rotten, the time I get so spend with my family (Brandon is coming in from Washington, and I get to meet his new partner :) and Adam is coming in from California with his new Girlfriend) I cant wait. This year, Christmas has been a little different for us. We decided to get a REAL tree, rather then a plastic one, lets just say I have a new RESPECT for my daddy. Its SO frustrating getting all the lights and ornaments and everything perfect. (without freaking out) (sorry baby) Also I have been trying to get in the right mindset this year. This Forgotten Carol is definitely helping :

The flock was more than peaceful
The night was dark and deep
The stillness wrapped around me
I drifted off to sleep
And when my friends awoke me
Oh, what a tale they had to tell

They said the angels told them
About a newborn King
They had a star to guide them
They heard the heavens sing
They said that when they found Him
They knew they'd never be the same

Somehow I did believe them,
Though everything I knew
Said I should not believe them
This story can't be true
But there was something magic
In the air
That made me feel as if
I had been there

I asked a thousand questions
Their answers startled me
The more I heard,
The more I thought I knew
This cannot be
And then the struggle started,
My head was wrestling with my heart.

Why would a God from Heaven
Come to the world this way?
Why in a lowly stable
Would the Messiah lay?
I shook my head and asked them
To tell the story one more time

Yes I did believe them
Though I'd not seen a thing
I did not go to Bethlehem
Or hear the angels sing
But there was something magic
In the air
That made me feel as if
I had been there

I knew that as the world moves on
through time
There would be more stories
just like mine
About the souls who've chosen
to believe
In something that they never
got to see

Do you think you'll join us
Though you've not seen a thing?
You were not there in Bethlehem
To hear the angels sing
But if you feel the spirit
In the air
Then just like me you'd know

That He was here
He was here
The King of kings
And Lord of lords was here
(He was here)
He was here, he was here
(He was here)
And He will come again,
For He was here.
(The King of kings)
(The Lord of lords)
-(He was here)
(The King of kings)
(and Lord of Lords was here)
-(He was here)
(The King of kings)
(The Lord of lords)
-(He was here)
(The King of kings)
(and Lord of Lords was here)

And He will come again
For He was here
For He was here
