Happy New Year!



Yes....can you believe it?! I'm finally posting again. My mom says that I am a boring blogger because I never update. I am sorry. I am really bad at keeping up with these things, but I will try to do better. Most of the reason while I am at school is because I am so busy. But right now I have no excuse. I am home for Christmas break doing absolutely nothing most of the time. It's been very nice.

I can hardly believe this semester is over. It ended up being one of the toughest semesters I've had at ACU. I definitely do not want to repeat it and I am so glad it is over. I am sort of dreading going back for the spring semester, but I know the Lord will get me through as he did this previous semester. This Christmas break has been nice. We went to my Mom's parents house before Christmas and tomorrow we are going to my Dad's parents house. Fortunately, all of my family lives in the same state; however, unfortunately it means we have to attempt to see EVERYONE every holiday. It makes for a lot of traveling. This Christmas has been a less traveling Christmas than most. So that's good.

We did something a little different on Christmas day this than what we usually do. We went at 6:30 in the morning to a church downtown that serves the homeless and we helped pass out new clothes and Christmas gifts to homeless people. It really makes you open your eyes to how blessed you really are and it makes your appreciate Christmas a whole lot more.

Well I will write more later and I will try to be a little better at updating!

I am sorry that it has been such a long time since I last wrote a post. My life has gotten extremely busy these last few weeks. Trying to get everything done for my classes and wrap up the semester takes more time than the entire semester combined. A lot has happened in my life. I had thanksgiving break, which was absolutely amazing!! I love being able to spend time with my family. I am really looking forward to Christmas break. My Uncle Brian got married last weekend! I was soooo happy for him. His new wife, my new Aunt Amy :), is an amazing woman! I am so proud to call her family. She also has 2 sons that are such neat kids. So glad to have 2 more cousins. I got to be their photographer for their wedding, which was very special for me!

Well I have to tell you all about this great song I heard on a Kay Jewelers commercial. As you all know, all of the jewelry stores pull out their best commercials during the Christmas season and invade the TV with their commercials. Generally they are not the greatest commericals, but the Kay Jewelers one has the best song. I googled it and finally found it. It's called "Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop" by Landon Pigg. It's such a cute little song.

Anyways....I don't have much more to say. Hopefully I will be able to post more in the next few weeks since it will be Christmas break!
