Catching up...

So I know it has been a while. Life has been busy, but what can you do? The biggest thing that took up my spare time was finishing my first semester of grad school. As usual, I procrastinated and waited longer than I should have to finish a paper for one of my classes. I was fine with that until I read how long the paper was suppose to be: 20-30 pages! Yikes! After a moment of hysterical panicking (well, that's not really what happened it just sounds dramatically good, but my heart did skip a beat or to), I calmed myself and planned a trip to Portland (that's where the seminary is) to get the books I needed to write my paper, because the books I needed I couldn't find in the Douglas County Library - shock. I finished just in time and got an A. I'm not sure how much I deserved that grade, but it is the season of giving and I consider it a gift!

Once school was done, I remembered I was in the middle of the Christmas season, and then I had to seriously switch gears to accomplish all the Christmas parties, programs, shopping and all the fun activities that we feel needs to fill up our holiday time. I think most of it is covered, except the house didn't get lights on it and the Christmas cards are still not done. No one is perfect, right? Right.
