Lets see...where did I leave off...
I think last time we spoke Abby was in Utah at my grandma's 90th birthday. Well she's home now and had a great time! I think it was a little long, but she made it. (for those of you reading this that are family members, someone better post some pictures of the party!! My mom didn't take any, I want to see how gingerbread went!! ;))
November was a CRAZY month!! First Abby was sick with the Flu/Strep thingy then she went to Utah then when she got home on Wednesday night she went to her dad's that Friday. When she got home Sunday she was ok, pretty exhausted but on Monday she was sick again. She threw up all day Monday and was recovering on Tuesday then went back to her dad's Wednesday night for Thanksgiving. SO for the month of November she went to school a total of maybe a week! I'm ready to get back on a regular schedule!!! We won't be till next year though. We have two weeks in December where things are normal schedule with her visiting her dad, but we are SO busy those two weeks! I have finals, we have church stuff, Christmas things....Our calender is full!!
Lets see, what else is new. While Abby was away I played! I got to go to a Young Single Adult concert in Lexington. That was fun. I made some new friends and met a Mormon Rapper!! (a cute one at that!) I also got the opportunity to listen to an apostle of the Lord. Elder Richard G. Scott. That was pretty awesome!! Of course he talked about marriage. It was a YSA group he was talking too. ;) For those of you who are unaware we are currently having a drought in the male/female dating situation in the area right now. It's been going on for a while. The guys aren't asking. We've had many general authorities come and speak to us, but my feelings are that we can have hundreds of people come and talk to us, even the prophet but what it really comes down to is US. The guys are the ones who are going to have to make the decision to ask, no one can make them. I do sympathize with them though. It's a big responsibility, first to ask a girl out, then take her out. Plus the whole idea of marriage. Being responsible for taking care of your family, its a big load. But the Lord won't give us anything that he knows we can't handle!....with that said...I am ready to date! That doesn't mean I want anything serious, I still want to take care of a lot of things for myself, but it wouldn't hurt to know that dating is an option! ;) But in the mean time, I get a chance to focus on school!
School...I have finals this week and next. I'm done on December 9Th! SO STOKED! I don't go back till January 12Th (i think) I'm SO ready for the break!! I am taking five classes next semester, 15hrs. It should be fun!!
Business Accounting
Math
Public Speaking
Computers
Philosophy of Ethics
Fun times!!
Christmas!! Mike is coming soon and I really can't wait!! I'm so excited to have him back home. I miss him so much. I really don't think he knows how much our relationship means to me! Plus I get to see my nephew, Skyler and my totally awesome sister-in-law Rachel who will be 5 months prego, with my niece Brooklyn Jade!!!!!!!!! :) I really can't wait. It will be a little hard because Abby won't be home too much during that time. She gets to spend quite a bit of time with her dad. Mike is staying for two weeks and I think Abby is only going to be here for about six days of that. But that's ok. We will have fun with the time we have! Always do!!
Lastly, I really want to thank all my WONDERFUL friends!! I've been struggling quite a bit and quite a few of you have helped me in more ways than I can tell you. I really do love you all!!
I love the gospel in my life! I am grateful for wonderful family and friends and most of all for the atonement and the love I feel from my father in heaven. There really isn't anything better. I know he's always there for me and I want to thank him for bring such awesome people into my life!!
Thank You!!!
(I found a few pictures, so hopefully its not completely boring!)
Abby wanted a "Spa Day" (her idea for the cucumbers!)
