Semester # 7 complete!

So Im home all alone, its quite lonely. I just went to a Christmas program at Eric's church. I heart kids and I heart Christmas so it was great fun. I even had someone to sit next to which is always nice. hehe I was kinda hoping for some company afterwards but Eric was driving to SD tonight for Christmas with his dad. I hope he makes it without falling asleep sheesh. I drove home last night after work and bounced around the house for awhile, talked to Boy on the phone for quite a while, we were both kinda hyper because we were done with school for a few weeks so that was a fun time. haha. He makes me laugh. I slept in this morning, which is always very relaxing not having to race off somewhere. Spent pretty much all afternoon shopping with my Dad, which was also fun because he makes me laugh too. hehe. Delicious dinner at home with the family. I love being home.

The rest of the week was spent studying, test taking and working. Not a lot of fun. Brianna permed my hair on Monday and most of the curls are still in so thats exciting. Im guessing it wont last very much longer though because my hair doesnt like being curled for some reason. All my tests went well. Three of my five grades are posted already and so far i have 4.0! Wahoo, pretty sure it wont stay that way though. Casey and I helped Ellie move all her stuff out, kinda sad that she wont be there when we get back. We are gonna have some strange person moving in sometime. Sad.

Well I cant think of anything else exciting to write about. But i would like to remind everyone about the meaning of Christmas. No its not "Happy Holidays" its "Merry CHRISTmas" Because God sent his son to this world as the best gift we will ever recieve. Christmas is a time to share the joy of this gift with everyone, people are more open to the story of Jesus' birth this time of year so if God puts the opportunity in front of you; do it, share the joy! It is also the time of year that many people are lonely. So many Christmas love movies and songs, people without families, without homes. Jesus has his arms open wide waiting for us to run to him for comfort and strength. So even though Im home alone on this Friday night and have never had a special someone to share the season with, oh well. God is with me and hes not going anywhere. woot woot! Ok im rambling... In conclusion: Christmas isnt about the cookies, the presents, shopping; its about the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

Here are some pics of the last week or so. Enjoy.

Casey's bottom was cold. The oven was still warm. Smart girl. hehe

The lovely children i work with. Along with the always entertaining Kris and Brad.
Head banging. Too much studying makes you do weird things like take pictures of yourself. Especially when no one else is around to keep me from going insane.
1:00am. Night before last final. Too much Mt. Dew and chocolate ice cream to sleep. Once again, no one around to keep me entertained so i take more pictures of myself. Notice the curls; 3 days after the perm.
