Tomorrow we are going down to Richmond to visit Lindsay. ( Read more... )

I am so excited to go home for Christmas. Christmas is by far my favorite holiday. There are so many traditions and it is so great o be surrounded by family.

I don't know how my aunt cooks all the food and for 35- ( Read more... )

I am done for the semester. The final I had today was quite possibly the easiest final I have ever taken. The professor pretty much gave us the questions in advance. It was three short answer/essay questions. That whole class was just a joke ( Read more... )

Thank God its Friday!! Although I have a HUGE test tomorrow. Please pray for me!! Its the Praxis II which for those of you in education needs no explanation.

What a weekend!!! Friday night we had an all-nighter for the youth at church. The problem wasn't staying up all night (I was wide awake with no problem). The problem is recovering. I'm still tired!! It was an awesome time though. We went on a hayride and had a HUGE hay fight! We all were covered in hay. Then we had a bonfire and made s' ( Read more... )
