Life is full

I have been rather busy the past 2 weeks. Jared had surgery on the 26th and came through like a trooper! I have never been more proud of him. What he has been through would make a grown man cry. I came back to school late Tuesday night so I missed 2 days of classes, but it couldn't be helped. I have pretty much everything caught up as far as homework goes. I am hoping to finish a paper tonight so I can cross that off my to do list. Only one more week of classes! I can't believe how fast this semester went by. My last week of school is devoted to exams and I only have 2. One on Monday and one on Thursday. So I am going to be bored that week.
I am also really excited for the 14th of December to arrive. I am flying to Florida for 3 days and I can't wait!! Warm weather here I come. I am going down to check out Ave Maria University and to meet a friend of mine. After the trip I will post more info about this friend :-)
I am also really excited about Christmas and am looking forward to that. Thankfully I have almost all my shopping done. I only have a few more people to buy for. I think that's everything I wanted to mention. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanksgiving

Oh my. I am so full... I got dinner on the table today for our lunch. We had turkey, stuffing, corn, rolls, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, and 3 different kinds of desserts. For dinner over at my aunts house we had turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, relish tray, beets, macaroni & cheese, sweet potatoes, green beans, homemade bread, gravy, and 5 different desserts! We have never had so much food. We could have fed a small army with the amount we had today. We also had a bottle of Oliver Soft Red Wine. Which is very good! My grandma was in her usual form tonight, pounding her fist on the table whenever you said she was wrong about something. No blood was shed, so overall it was a fairly successful Thanksgiving :-)

Major Dilemma

Literally! I have always enjoyed working with children. I came to Marian to pursue a degree in El Ed. with a focus on religion. There is one problem. My exposure to other options is making me wonder if I am in the right program. I have thoroughly enjoyed my philosophy class (he incorporated political theory) and I liked the professor so much that I am taking another course with him next semester on politics. I have always enjoyed this arena and tend to get a little passionate about it. My professor has also asked me for the second time if Political Science is my major. So this leads one to wonder. I would appreciate any thoughts from those of you who are close to me.

It's almost time!

For break that is! I am so excited about having some time off that I almost can't contain myself. When I come back we will have 2 weeks of school left and then we are done! I can't believe how fast this semester went by. I blinked and before I knew we were at the end. The past 2 weeks I haven't had anything big due so I have been on the bored side, and I don't care saying that. So last week I read 2 books and now I am on my third one, and yesterday Ruth and I went shopping at the outlets. Her son also went with us and he was an angel the whole day! We found some great deals and had a lot of fun. We are true bargain shoppers!

I am also really looking forward to the holidays! Last year was rough family wise, but this year I am really going to pray that we would all be thankful for each other and thankful for the time we get to spend with one another. Another reason I am looking forward to this time of year is that Lent is getting closer. I love this season for many reasons, but the biggest one is because that's when I converted. So it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Busy Busy Busy

Sorry for the silence, but as the title says I have been busy :-) I had a big paper and project due this past week and this week I have 2 more papers due. So that is what I am working on now. Actually the one I am working on is for philosophy and it's on Law and Freedom. So something I am actually looking forward too! That makes all the difference when I write. Ok, time to get back to the grind.
