...I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...

YAYHOOOOOOOOOO!

That's right... yes sir eee. THE WILLIAMS ARE LEAVING THE ISLAND. We are so thrilled to see family and friends... we wish we could see ALL of our family and friends... but not this time. :(

We leave tonght for Las Vegas aka "Lost Wages" by Derek. We get to see Derek's oldest sis & fam, his brother, and then my parents will be driving from California, pick us up and take us the rest of the way to Grandma& Grandpa's house in UTAH! We will be there for a week. AWinter White Christmas... I HOPE! We love this time of year... it's flown by so fast! January 4th will be our 1 year ANNIVERSARY! "WOW"-Joey from 'Blossom.' Derek finished his finals.... I finished University Advancement's Budget adjustments and MAN are we ready to reLAX.

Please know that we love you and send our love! Please never forget that Christmas isn't about the gifts.... that's the perk... the whole purpose is to remember. Remember our brother who has saved us all!

I have traveled many moonless nights,
Cold and weary with a babe inside,
And I wonder what I've done.
Holy father you have come,
And chosen me now to carry your son.

I am waiting in a silent prayer.
I am frightened by the load I bear.
In a world as cold as stone,
Must I walk this path alone?
Be with me now.
Be with me now.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.

Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.

Do you wonder as you watch my face,
If a wiser one should have had my place,
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan.
Help me be strong.
Help me be.
Help me.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.

Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.

Breath of heaven,
Hold me together,
Be forever near me,
Breath of heaven.

Breath of heaven,
Lighten my darkness,
Pour over me your holiness,
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven.

Breath of heaven.
Breath of heaven.

Hillary's New Doo

So here is my computer and if you picture my face right behind it... this is my "office." I just put up this berry Christmas tree! YAY! Our office is about to put up all the good stuff.
OK. I decided to CHOP IT OFF. For some, this may be no big thang, but I haven't had my hair this short for ... 4 years! I was trying to grow it out. My hair is very slow growing. And FINALLY it has reached that LONG status. But I came to the realization that my hair isn't full and beautiful long. It was more on the stringy, thin, bland side. So, Derek let me cut it... but I just couldn't get rid of ALL of it. I also toned it up a notch. Brooke, my Hawaiian Hairdresser, was my hero! I have been thinking about this a while, and didn't want to act on impulse.

I was talking to a best friend, who shall remain namesless, and she was telling me to keep it long. We have had an on going competition to see whose hair is longer. People told us we looked like sisters because of it. "Stop it, Hillary, your hair is pretty! Don't cut it," she said. So, I was totally being pursuaded by her. AND THEN, I recieved a message from her this morning telling me that she CUT HER HAIR AND COLORED IT. Sound familiar? hahaha She did EXACTLY what I wanted to do to mine. I love her, but man she's got guts. hahaha. So, that was motivation enough. I did it! Bye Bye 4 inches or so. I can't wait to see her hair. Looks like we're still twinners. :D

Just a nice sunset ...
