Hi Family! It's Laurel this time. I would love to write a long, long post but I am getting ready for an Old Testament study session with some friends. I have been planted at the kitchen table all day for several days with piles of books. I finally finished a 12-page paper (that took me FOREVER) for my early church history class about 4th century women who escaped their normal roles as passive daughters and wives by becoming ascetics and starting monastic orders. Now I'm working on another 12-page paper on applications of Jung's theory of "transcendent function," which is when you put your unconscious mind in conversation with your conscious mind in order to work out bugs in your psyche (like if you keep saying "boobs" instead of "boots" or something).
Let me shout it from the mountaintops that JEFF IS AMAZING!!! He is so patient with me and my stressed freakouts and he cooks me meals too. I will be forever indebted to him for supporting me through however many years of schooling are to come!
We are soooo excited to come home and see you all. I hope you're having fun holiday parties and listening to lots of Christmas carols.
love,
Laurel
