End of a semester

This semester is over and i am so glad. i slid by passing one of my classes by a hair. This class was the biggest pain in the butt and this semester has been the hardest one of all. I have gone through all my binders like 7 of them. This picture is just the papers from only four of my seven binders this one semester. The semester is over now and we are planning for a winter of working. I will be doing an online class so that i can start my other classes when we get back on track.

Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la, la la la la. Daniel and i wanted to get all our gift giving done before we went home so we didn't have to take it to and fro. So we put them under our christmas tree and had our own gift giving time. Our first christmas as a married couple. We don't have any ornaments really because i couldn't find my box when i left home. (looking for it when we go home) The bishop for our ward got trees for us, so we got a tree for our little place.

We are leaving on Wednesday for California and i CAN'T wait to leave. I am all packed. Washed two weeks of laundry, cleaned all the dishes, counters, and working on eating all our left over food.

Chives is good and happy. Swimming, basking, eating. She keeps burring the filter after we have put it in or uncovered it. She pushes the rocks up against it and we have to keep moving them every so often.

Work for me is nuts and i am totally frustrated with the crap that is going on there and want to quit, but as of right now my job is all we got coming in and i'm doing what i can to get more hours and more money but it's just difficult. Anyways that is it and there is nothing new from what has been posted. Have fun and enjoy your holidays. Talk to you then!

Thanks for my health!

I know i usually say that i will get on weekly and put posts up. I have been slacking recently on most things because it was unfortunate that i happened to get a cold a day or two before Thanksgiving and i was dead on the couch the whole time. Daniel was taking care of me until he got sick and then we both became couch potatoes. Thanksgiving day came around and we had a ward dinner with two other families from our ward that didn't go home for the holiday. After that we skipped with our parents for an hour or so and decided it was time to go out and get in those lines for the holiday shopping. We split up and ended up sitting in lines for like 7 hours. Bottom line we got just about everything we wanted and saved lots of money as well as spent lots of money. Good news is though we have everyones Christmas presents and plenty of entertainment for us. The holiday break went by WAY too fast and i didn't get much accomplished because after my cold i ended up getting sick again and having some symptoms similar to the flu. So now you have been updated on what is new with us.

As part of the toys that we decided to get for the holiday Daniel decided he wanted a ps3 and found some great deals fought for a week to get some flaky people to respond to us. When he gave up on that he found one on sale online and got a bunch of games we both wanted to go with it. Today is that magic day where it all comes in. He has been tracking the packages like every half hour and found out that they all got into town this morning. So we had a time we had nothing going on and decided to go home and wait for the system to come in. He didn't want it sitting in front of our door for anyone to take it. We waited and waited and waited for them to come and finally had to go get back to school. As we pulled out we saw that the UPS truck and the MAIL truck both had just pulled up to the complex to deliver packages. Today is one of our longest days on campus because after my class, Daniel has a dinner were we are dressing up nice and get free food and he gets an award. So we wont get home until like 9 tonight.

Looking at the calendar i can't wait. We have one more week of school before our finals and then it's CHRISTMAS break! We are already planning a very busy break. When we get back from Cali we will be starting classes like the very next day.

How are each of you? I hope you are enjoying the holidays and having fun! Best wishes and love sent to you from the LONGS!
