Take a deep breath. . .

So many things are up in the air!!! And these are perty big things that had better be resolved soon. . . I find myself getting anxious about these things. But then I am reminded of how I am even here (the DH program) in the first place. God has everything in control and "all things work together for good to those who love" Him. I just need to take a deep breath and rest in the peace of God.

The countdown has begun

Seth helped me make a countdown chain for how many weeks of school I have left. Every Friday I will have the great pleasure seeing this chain get shorter and shorter until there are none left. Oh happy day!

24 weeks (including Spring break!) and counting. . . : )

Christmas Day!

Wath out! My brothers are loaded! : )

Grandpa gave me Journey earrings to match my necklace

Seth loves his Transformers!

Jesh enjoys his Chevron firetruck!

Grandpa and our Grandma-to-be


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

More Snow!

First Snow!

Christmas Preparations

I love putting our Christmas tree up and carefully arranging all the lights and decorations on it! We did this today while we watched one of the Christmas Classics, It's a Wonderful Life.
Christmas is in the air, and I am reminded of our Savior's perfect gift to us.

The End Is In Sight

I feel like I'm in the last leg of a long race. And it feels wonderful! After December 9th I'll only have two quarters left : ) I dare say, it is rather a frightening thought that I am supposed to be a competent Dental Hygienist at the end of 7 months. . . Oh well, the Lord has seen me through this far, and my Dental Hygiene journey is just begining when I get out into "the real world" and start working.
And this quarter is practically over (thank goodness). . . I technically have three weeks left, but they are only 2 days, then 4 days, then 2 days, and then I'm done for this year!

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

At times I even feel like I'm on Cloud 9 : )
