Not even Christmas yet!

Well i have been home for almost 2 weeks now, and it almost feels as if I never left. I picked up where I left off a work, and it was such a blessing to be there for the second year and be apart of the traditions we have at work! We had our work Christmas party at nikkos and all the women brought their spouses with them and they said that i could bring a date, but i got one of their daughters to come with me and Amber was great! I also got to sit in on CYB's class one day, i am so grateful for that man,he just had knee surgery and many other things going on so please keep him and his family in your prayers. Then i got to tag along with the sister and nieces to attend the Nutcracker at the Sanger theater, it was a great nigt with many memories and relived the times that we used to go there! I am no longer a teenager anymore either,hard to believe that i have been here for 20 years now! sand i am starting to get old! I have enjoyed getting to see all my friends, some that i haven't seen since we graduated and some that it has been a few months or weeks! Christmas Eve was great today, everyone came over here and then we went to the Christmas Eve service! It was cool to be able to watch the little ones and see their joy and excitement that they get from the present, for once the attention isn't on Caleigh and I! I am excited for tomorrow to see the kids open their gifts and just be able to relax with the family. It has been nice to just relax and not worry about papers or homework or test or anything to do with school. I still have till Jan9 to do that and am not rushing it at all!

Study Break!

Well this weekend i took a break from my studies to go on a few adventures. This past week i had taken 5 of my finals and tomorrow afternoon will be my last one, wahoooo!!! But on Friday night I had one last get together with my girls small bible study group where we spent the late night and start of morning just talking about memories and  everything else. Saturday afternoon I went Christmas Caroling with about 15 others from Campus Outreach, to one of the local nursing homes. We were told that we need to make a cd, sing on TV, and one man asked a girl to come and sit on his lap! It was a fun time together! Then since myself and others have never been to the "zoo" outside of Troy we decided to load up and make the trip! So this is not what you would think when you hear the word zoo, if you have ever saw the movie We Bought a Zoo, this is almost what the experience was like. This is the link to the place! http://mikeszoocritters.com/ You saw everything from snakes (which i didn't want on me but the guy literally threw it on me) lions, tigers, zonkeys,monkeys, camels, lemurs, ostrich, kangaroos, bears and many more animals! Then that night I went to my first basketball game in the new arena! The boys lost in double overtime, but it was a fun time in the arena! I also had an itch to make something arts and crafts so i had a few Pinterst ideas up my sleeve! So close to being on "Christmas Break" I say that in honor of Jennifer, she said that I won't get a break with being at work, but that is going to be a nice break for me! I can't wait to be back at work with everyone and then back home with family and friends!
