Personal Snippet//Day 18🎄🎄

Hey y'all! It's time for another personal snippet! This week has begun to feel much more like Christmas to me. We decorated for Christmas this week (yes, we did decorate 10 days for Christmas, don't judge us😂), and I went out and bought Christmas presents. Wednesday we got freezing rain, which was really pretty to see from inside, but slightly dangerous from the outside (I stepped outside on our porch and came quite close to falling, lol. What can I say, I am quite accident prone). Last night, I started wrapping presents. Funny story: I am not a natural wrapper. Seriously, I stink at it. However, last night I was doing a great job! I didn't cut the wrapping paper too short for once in my life, and the folding was going quite smoothly. As I taped the last piece and sat back to look at my nicely wrapped gift, I realized with horror that I had wrapped it upside down! Oops. Oh well. On Sunday, my church is having their annual Christmas candlelight service with communion. This will be the first year that I will have done it as a member of the church, as we joined this church this past January. I am very excited :). I am also taking school off all next week, so that will be nice. That's about all the news I have for now. Here are just a couple pictures for your enjoyment :)

This is our "candy cane" Christmas tree, with red and white lights. Normally we don't put it in this spot, but I think it looks so pretty here!

These are two of the presents I wrapped. The one on the bottom is the unfortunately-wrapped-upside-down-one :(

My current wallpaper on my phone, lol

Especially when you almost slip... I’ve been there multiple times😂 Ooh! A candlelight service sounds nice!!! Your tree is really pretty!!! You did a nice job with the presents!! Who will care if it’s upside down, I mean it’s still a present! That wallpaper is so cute! Pintrest is the best isn’t it? It’s cool getting to see what other bloggers and people save!!!

      Oh my! Yes, we were a little late this year in getting it up, but it's so pretty now :). Ah yes, I'm a natural clutz, lol.
      Hahaha thank you! I agree, a present is a present, upside down or not ;). Fortunately nothing was fragile, so it's okay, lol. I agree, Pinterest is great :).
      Ooh! I will be sure to check it out! Sometimes our schedules get crazy and we can't post as much as we'd like to :( but that's okay!

Q&A!!

So, my lovely new friend, Sarah Grace, gave me a very good idea for a blog post! A Q&A!! I am super excited about this! Also, Ellen from  Ellen's Musings  is doing one at the same time, so that should be fun to do it alongside her! However, she is also doing assumptions, so that is extra cool! Ask me questions in the comments below, and I will be answering them next Thursday! Please don't ask me my birthday, but pretty much all other questions are good to ask (if one happens to be too personal, I just won't answer it). Have fun! Also, I know some people might be a little confused on how to pronounce my name, lol. It's pronounced like "Kaylee" NOT "Calley." I know, it is different, but I like it! Btw, my Dad wanted to spell it Caelea (My mom vetoed that, lol) My middle name would have made that spelling even more confusing then it already is (heyyyyy that's a question you can ask "What's your middle name" ;))

Just Be Held

Hey y'all! I just wanted to write a quick post today, to hopefully give a little encouragement. This morning as I was getting ready, I remembered a song that I hadn't heard in a very long time. It took me a few moments to hum along to the song, trying to remember the name. Once I did, I asked my Google Assistant to play it. What was the song, you may ask? Just Be Held by Casting Crowns. Wow. I hadn't heard the song in sooooo long, and it's hard to describe how much I needed to hear it this morning.  I'm not sure how the rest of the states are doing, but currently in NC there is a high spike in COVID-19. Specifically in the county that I live in. We are back on lockdown, and our church services (at my church specifically) have been online only for the past few weeks. I started college classes again this past Monday, and they have been completely online (using Microsoft Teams). We were supposed to go back in-person January 25, but I received an email this morning sayi
