what can i say?!?
this month has been crazy and busy as usual, but even more so when you add the broken arm, chronic headaches and holidays!
nick's been having headaches since thanksgiving weekend, and it has just been insane. we're trying to get him into a neurologist, but can't get an appointment until the 24th of january. he's missed a lot of school, but the quarter's over and he's allowed to turn stuff in after break, so hopefully he'll a little of it done, but i'm not stressing him out about it. i'm wondering if the stress of school and all of his projects has exacerbated the problem.
i'm working on starting my business, which is going to focus on a proven weightloss program that focuses on lifestyle changes, not just losing weight. it looks like we're going to start out by holding two separate meeting groups, one at my school and one at the Y. i'm excited about the possibilites this business has, and how God has given me some awesome visions about what to do with the income generated with it. i just know he's going to bless this business so we can further do more to reach more people for Christ, and that's so exciting to me. my first goal is to get jerry out of his bi-vocational status, and focusing more on ministry. after that, who knows?!?
i've registered for my classes for the spring semester. i'm taking 15 hours and have enough financial aid that it covers it and then some. guess i'll use it for living expenses so i won't need to tutor on the side or work during the summer. i want to graduate and be certified by december 2008 if possible. i believe i'm going to start shortly afterward on my master's degree too, there's so much i want to do and this is opening up so many doors of possibility. having a psychology degree can go in so many directions both in education and other areas too.
christmas has come up on me so quickly, i barely got anything accomplished for the holidays until mid-week this past week. i substituted for a teacher for 6 of the last 8 days of school and seemed to have something almost every evening. we were successful in surviving the last day of the quarter, which is always amazing to me. we also were successful in pulling off an awesome youth christmas party at our house too. i didn't get christmas cards sent out, and when i was thinking about doing it last minute i realized that most of the addresses were lost when my email inbox got deleted from Rushmore, our kitty, walking on the keys of our laptop. crazy kitten, he was chasing the cursor on the screen and i thought it was cute....until i realized his feet deleted my emails! so i'm working on an ecard to send out, hopefully i can get it out tomorrow afternoon. i still have a little bit of shopping to do, but not a ton. the major stuff is done. i do have some groceries to get for our christmas eve dinner of lefse though....can't wait for that, yum!!!
well i'm off for 2 weeks, so maybe i'll stop by and babble a bit more often over my break, but don't hold your breath! i don't want to be responsible for anyone suffocating from waiting for me to come back by this week! haha i plan to post some pics of our christmas and stuff, so i might surprise you and actually follow through! until then...don't hold your breath, k? :)
