Big Plans!

Here it is. I'm now exactly 19 days, 18 hours, and 47 minutes away from take-off. That's right, I'm heading home again. Between now and then I have a few things planned (mainly work really):

Kindergarten and 8th Grade Thanksgiving Mass
Post Thanksgiving Retreat (this weekend)
Confirmation Family Mass and Program (week on Sunday)
Youth Group Meeting (2 weeks Sunday)
Altar Server Training (3 session with 10 kids)
Altar Server supervision (at their first Masses)
Advent Church Prep (decoration changes etc)
Reconciliation (3 sessions where I play the guitar for 2 hour straight)
Numerous Sundry activities including a mountain of admin that I need to do.

When I get home, I'm a little busy too:

Children's Nativity Play at school
Shopping Day with my Mam
Weekend reunion with my second team (they waited until I was home for it)
A few potential (but no details will be given) activities
My newest niece is being Baptised
A tour of various places in the UK to visit friends
Bo's'er to see some of my best friends
My friend Raquela is coming to our house for Christmas
My first Boxing Day in FIVE years (this is huge for my family)
Roma for a week (as usual)
3 days rest
Plane back to SF and back to work.

I have no idea why I documented this here. I suppose it's because the second list is helping me get through the first; the end is nigh and the light at the end of that tunnel is getting brighter and brighter! I can't believe it's been almost a year since I set foot on British soil...

...It's the most wonderful time of the year!
