THE update :D

I managed to survive last term somehow! lol I surely dont know how i did it though... toward the end of the term, i seriously began to wonder what on earth i had gotten myself into by adding that sociology class on top of the nursing jazz. Thanks to my mom writing my final paper for me, i managed to get an A in the class. Whew!

Christmas break was busy. I worked some at my charge nurse job, and slept and ate tons! I set up all the christmas decorations .... looked so nice when i was all done! Dad managed to get the christmas lights to the top of the blue spruce again... one of these days it is just going to get too tall to do it! Dad is now having to stand on the very top rung of the orchard ladder to get to the very top. Mom runs and hides when he is putting up those lights! She says she doesnt want to see him die! haha Sharon was gone off to Walla Walla to see her bf during most of our break. She was going to stay only 10 days but was detained due to all the snowy/icey weather that we had. I was glad to see her back home! I did a lot of christmas shopping this year. I bought the family a dining silverware set that is really nice. It was fun picking it out. ;) Sharon went with me one of the times once she got back. That was fun... we went to the mall, and ate there at the eating plaza. The eating plaza at the Valley River Center is soooo cool cuz there are so many fast food places to chose from! I ended up spending way more money than i was planning on spending! hehe

I went to Grants Pass to see Tony a couple of times during my break. One time i went down there on the sabbath that they had their christmas program... that was really cool! I got to sing with the singing group that was outside before sabbath school sitting outside on bails of hay with goats, and a pony ( or a mule.. cant remember what it was exactly!) and chickens and sheep! That was fun. The goats kept getting out of their area (they were fenced it with bails of hay). Then i went to the sabbath school class that Tony and Pastor Ed teach. That was cool! I guess i was so quiet that tony almost forgot that i was in there... hehe... My quiet side coming out i guess. haha Their christmas program was awesome with a play, and lots of singing/special music. Then tony and Dad and I (Sharon was w/ Jeff during this time) went for a walk, and then went caroling in Glendale. That was really fun... cold too! It was about 20 degrees or so outside, so we kept bundle up in jackets and gloves! lol I had a great time. ;)
The sabbath before Christmas tony came up to our church and then came out to our house for the afternoon/evening. My mom really liked Tony... really really REALLY liked him... :D (yesssssssssss! :D ) So that was cool.
I saw Tony again on Jan 7 too when i went down there, and Tony's sabbath school class put on the church service at the new Glendale SDA church. That was fun!

On Christmas day and on the day after christmas i worked at my charge nurse job. That was fun... sure do love keeping busy! And it seems that every time i work there, i learn more! lol They have some really dedicated staff there. Nice place to work on my breaks, but definitely not where i want to be long term! Just nice pay on breaks from schoo.. hehe

Tony and i managed to put in a lot of yacking on the phone during our break... around 3 hours a night. eeps! lol We are still just friends, just taking it slow and praying a lot.

School is super duper busy this term, as i am taking 15 credits this term: i added Chem 105. I have a really nice teacher and there are only 7 people in the class, which is cool. Two of those people i know, and they are really nice, so that is neat. The only down side ( besides that there is tons of homework with it!) is that it goes until 10pm on Thursday nights. Aw well... tis life. :P

Sharon broke up with Jeff during christmas, and is now once again single. That was pretty rough for her. She is doing waaaaaaaaaay too much with taking 20 credits, and working her 3 jobs, plus being on so many committees. She hangs out with Happi a lot and is considering moving into one of the quads at the UofO right across the hall from Happi. Currently she is terribly sick with some strange illness that is making her super duper tired, and having awful looking sores on the back of her throat. She has been going to a lot of doctors, but they all think that it is the flu. Some strange flu! I hope she gets better. A lot of us are really worried about her cuz she is doing so much and getting so little sleep and food.

We have had tons of rain and a lot of area flooding. Havent seen the sun in weeks. Kinda gets to you when you dont see the sun! I would pay for some real sunshine about now!And the weather man said that there is ANOTHER storm coming in tomorrow with a whole lot more flooding... bummer! lol

OK, so there is the update on all the goings and comings around here. Gotta go run off to chemistry class now!
