My Christmas Break (so far)

*sighs*

It is SOOOOOOO good to be home!

I have missed my family and all of my friends here so much...and Bible Bowl :)

Megan and I did some Christmas shopping together and that was a lot of fun. Megan gave me my Christmas present on Monday and it was....*drumroll*......................the new DAVID ARCHULETA cd! *gasps* She is the BEST friend and I love, love, love the cd! It is so good :) While Meg and I were at the VV Mall, I got my left cartilage pierced :) It hasn't swelled at all and really hasn't hurt other when I first got it done which has been nice.

I went with Mom today as she finished up all of her Christmas shopping and we got some really good deals on stuff. It was nice to get to spend a couple of hours with my Mom by myself.

Ganny (my Dad's mom) came up from Gatesville to visit us on Wednesday and then went back home today, so that was nice to get to spend some time with her as well. She came so that she could spend some time with Dad since he's been kind of cooped up here at the house. She also brought us a lot of goodies that she made :)

I don't know if any of you guys know who the Duggar's are, but they are a family that lives in Arkansas and Michelle (the Mom) just had her 18th baby. Anyways, if you get a chance, check out their family website if you get a chance. 

Also, the Duggar's oldest son, Josh, just got married in September (he's a year older than me) and he and his wife, Anna, have a website as well with their story and I found it very encouraging as I strive to save myself for my future husband. I encourage you all (guys and girls) to check out Josh and Anna Duggar's story at: www.ja20.com./ourstory.html

Well, I'm gonna hit the hay!

I hope everyone has a great Christmas with their families!

Kayla and I were at Starbucks waiting to go to the airport to fly home and I decided to have fun with my MacBook :)

I decided to take a picture of Kayla's and I's feet.

Kayla and I at the ballet!

Kayla, Josie and I at Jed and Josie's apartment! We had so much fun :)

I went to San Antonio this weekend to see my friend, Josie, as Clara in the Nutcracker. I drove to Dallas Thursday night and flew into San Antonio. Kayla was flying to Nebraska and switched planes in Dallas and so we ended up being on the same flight in to San Antonio and so that was a lot of fun! 

Josie picked us up from the airport and we went over to her and Jed's apartment for about 45 minutes and the Mrs. Glenda picked us all up, we ran some errands and then we all headed downtown so that the girls could get ready for their performance.

Saturday, Jed and Josie came over for breakfast and we got to hang out and talk for a while before everyone had to head off to get ready for the ballet. Kayla and I chilled at the Deahl's house the whole day and so that was a lot of fun. We watched: Male Order Bride (Cary Grant), The Wedding Present (Cary Grant), The Village and Sense and Sensibility. For lunch, we walked about a mile to Sonic and so we got our exercise in :)

Sunday morning, we got to go to Oak Hills, which was SO nice! I miss it a lot and so it was good to get to see a lot of people and to hear Max speak again. It was a really special weekend to be back because Oak Hills had their 50th Church Anniversary. They had a video that told the history of the church and showed pictures and videos of special moments in the church's history. I got to go to Family Class which was also really cool since we were so involved when we were there. It made me feel at home, sort of.

After church, Kayla and I went with Mr. Arnold and Elijah to Alamo Cafe' and then we chilled at Starbucks. Mr. Arnold was taking us to the airport and so we had some time to kill. It was so good to see them!

FINALSS....

I had my English and Bible finals today and I have my Communications final tomorrow and then I'm DONE! I'm coming home tomorrow and should be back in time to go to church tomorrow night. I am SO excited! I will miss the fact that I won't be able to just go and do whatever when I'm at home, but it will be so good to be at home!

I hope to be able to see everyone when I come home...Have a great week!

(By the way, I have no idea why all of this is underlined...I couldn't figure out how to fix it)

The Nutcracker

Hello dear friends!

Wow! I can't believe that it's already December, crazy! I am almost done with school and ready for Christmas Break to be here! I will be done with my last final on Wednesday and I can hardly wait!!!! I have 3 finals on Tuesday and 1 final on Wednesday.

This weekend I'm flying to San Antonio to see one of my best friends perform in "The Nutcracker" with the San Antonio Ballet. I'm flying on Friday and will be there for the opening performance that night. Josie and I's really good friend, Kayla, will also be flying in Friday from Nebraska. I am SO excited! The 3 of us haven't been together since Josie's wedding in March and so we are all really excited!

Well, I need to go to bed...I have a psychology test tomorrow and I have to give a speech :/

God bless!
