So I have been on a blogging hiatis the last few months. I have been quite busy with my everyday life and have rarely slept let alone had time to blog. I took my last final on December 9th. It was a relief to finally have them over. I did well in my classes and am now the proud recipient of an associates degree in nothing... but that degree in nothing is worth precious points in applying to Weber's program-hopefully enough precious points to get me accepted to the program starting fall '09. So after finals I had been telling myself that I would have so much extra time that I wouldn't know what to do myself... but my mom asked if I would be willing to help out in the Christmas room at Gossner's. The pay is pretty good and how fun it is to make gift baskets and boxes for the holidays-let alone earning a few extra bucks, so I told her I was game. So I was going to school, working at Gossner's during the day, and working at the hospital at night for a couple of weeks and then I was able to drop the going to school part. Here are some pictures to recap the last month or so.
Pretzels got dipped for neighbor gifts. Yummy!
Here are some of the ladies I worked with at Gossner's. (My mom is the cute lady in black)
My baby sister had her new baby boy Milo. (This picture should be first since he was born Nov. 25...)
He is so stinkin' cute I may just have to take him home and keep him for myself!
I absolutely love the smell of new babies. Mmmm!
I finally decorated our tree! (For anyone who knows me this job is usually done the day after Thanksgiving or even sometimes before-if I can convince Corb into bringing it down early! This year it was the weekend after finals before it got done! Corbin and Christopher brought the tree down after Thanksgiving but it just sat undecorated in the front room. Nicholas was getting nervous and finally asked me if I was going to decorate the tree this year or if we were just going to have a "plain" tree. I assured him it would be decorated. He was happy when it was done. He and Christopher both got little trees to have in their rooms this year, which they thought was fun.
