I know, two posts in one day. I just could not resist. Thanks Rachel!

Your Christmas is Most Like: A Charlie Brown Christmas

Each year, you really get into the spirit of Christmas. Which is much more important to you than nifty presents.

What Movie Is Your Christmas Most Like?

And one last entry.......
I must get back to homework.

What The Holidays Mean to You

For you, the holidays are about celebration. You enjoy all the fun and fellowship that the holidays bring. You celebrate the holidays in a minimalist style. You are likely to only give one great present and decorate your house with a few special items. During the holidays, you like to feel cozy and comfortable. You're happy to stay inside with a roaring fire and a warm drink. You think the holidays should be nostalgic and sweet. The holidays bring out your inner child. Your best holiday memories are of childhood foods and traditions. You secretly still wish you believed in Santa Claus.

What Do the Holidays Mean to You?

In case you could not tell, I love holidays and Christmas is my favorite.

Just a quick one

Nothing to really say, OK not enough time to say it. We had parent teacher conference tonight, very interesting. How to motivate a 12 year old who does not care... HMMM that will be interesting. So the story is Patrick is passing all of his classes, but just barely (we're talking c- and c) and the teachers are pushing for more. They know he can do so much better, just chooses not to. I have to agree with them, which means I will have to micromanage......

Oh, 2 weeks of class, finals week and then the semester is over and only one left!!!

ThanksGiving Break

Finally, I am on Thanksgiving break. I thought it would never come! I have had so many tests and so many things due and it was been crazy. Not that this break will really be a break considering that I have a million things to do for school still! But it will be nice to have nothing else to worry about for a whole week!

Since thanksgiving is so close, what I am thankful for...
1. Matt, my wonderful husband. He supports me in school, tries his hardest to give me all the time I need to myself, takes care of my family with any plumbing issues, and takes care of me and Patrick
2. Patrick, he is my everything and I often think were I would be if I had never had him. I really don't like it. I could have never asked for a better son.
3. Family, nothing is better than hanging out with your siblings, or being an aunt. They have been there through thick and thin for me. I also know that I would have never been able to make it with Patrick if I did not have them.
4. School friends, they are the many that are in every class and the ones that make going to school easier. They have become my mini family (I spend enough time with them to be family) and what makes getting through school easier
5. Just plain old friends, from my Texas friend to my friends here. They all give me something that no one else can.
6. My in-laws, I could not have asked for better. They have made many things possible and have raised a wonderful child making him a wonderful husband and father figure.
7. Christmas music, I know weird, but it makes me happy. It reminds me that Christmas is right around the corner, by the way I love Christmas!
8. Color, thank you Kelsie for reminding me!

My Niece Kelsie

My niece Kelsie is the cutest little girl ever.
She put a comment(3 actually) on my blog that made absolutely no sense. Turns out she spelled something wrong in the first post and then accidentally deleted it so the second one made no sense, then let me know that she had deleted the first and that she did not have time to retype it because it was late and "her mom was getting mad" in her third post. She is cute, sweet, a little dingy and the best niece.
Now I don't mean to single her out. I have four nieces (McKenzie, Kelsie, Mary, Hallie) and I must say I love having nieces. I love them all very much. They give me the small feel of what it would be like to have girls.

Disclaimer: I love that I have a boy. I also love that I have nephews. In general I love being an aunt.

This is not all of my nieces and nephews, but most of them.

November

I know that we are now on to Thanksgiving, but I really liked the fairy looking girl. So she will stay for a bit before I change her into Thanksgiving motif.
Halloween was fun, Patrick went with his friend, we are no longer cool, and we passed out candy at my in-laws and then went off to my sister's to see the other kids.

Speaking of in-laws, I just wanted to say that I have the best. I could have never asked for better in-laws.

And Counting

I want you all to know that I have 6 weeks left of this semester.
I am not counting Thanksgiving week or finals week, but there is 3 weeks until Thanksgiving and then 3 more weeks until finals.
And yes I am counting.

Not so smart

My advice for the day...
NEVER TAKE 18 CREDITS IN THE SAME SEMESTER

For all who already knew this....
Why didn't someone tell me how bad it would be?

Yes, 18. Am I crazy? Yes, but the price you pay to graduate. All I do is homework. The question I get asked at home is "don't you get sick of always doing homework?" and Yes, but again the price you pay. So if anyone is wondering how I do it, I never stop doing homework. Sometimes I stop for a minute to write in my blog because it is a no thinking activity to give my brain a rest that does not take up too much time.

Speaking of brain hurt....
I had a test yesterday in my labor and employment law class. Anyone who had ever tried to take a law class or has tried to read law will understand that it is quite taxing to the brain. Well I had to understand the law mumbo jumbo and be able to explain in lame mens terms what it meant along with state the amendment that made the rule, the year it happened and if their was a case what the case was and I had to know all of the amendments that went along with union rules, sec 8(a)(1-5) and
sec 8(b)(1-7) and all of this in an hour and a half. Is your brain hurting yet? Because mine is starting to....
Anyway, that is my rambling for the moment, back to homework.

So Fast

Can you believe that we are half way through October?
I am personally glad, For me October is always insane. I always have a million things due and tests on top of that. So for me it is good, but the rest of the month will fly!

Patrick went hunting this last weekend. This was the first time he could actually take his gun. And he had a big gun! He did not shoot anything, not sure if Matt and him would know what to do if they did shoot one! If I get pictures I will post them.

Weekend

This weekend we were supposed to go to salt lake, the three of us. We were going to go to a concert and then Lagoon. Well the freak snow storm in October prevented. I still wonder if we had continued to trudge on would the roads have cleared up and we would have been able to make it?
It would have been a lot of fun, oh well right?

Holiday

Today is the first of October, which means the start of the holiday season. Halloween then Thanksgiving and Christmas and New years. In honor of the holidays watch my avatar (on the right hand side of the page). I will change it frequently to match the holidays.
There will be many costume changes and other changes with the holiday!!!!
