The semester ended great--I pulled off a 4.0 so I was very happy--and I graduate tomorrow (Friday) with my associate's! So I'm excited! I sold my books back, got my books for next semester, and am ready for my classes--I think I'll relax and enjoy my 3 1/2 week break though first! I was super excited though, because I filled out the papers and did the 'lowest price guarantee' thing at the bookstore and saved like $70 on my books! Heck yeah...what a way to start off the Christmas season!
This last Monday I went with my mom, brother (Taylor), and Grandma Liptrot to see Scrooge: A Christmas Carol out at the Terrace Plaza Playhouse! It was way fun! We go every year, and it's just way cute and a fun time! We all went out to El Matador for dinner first, drove around to see some of the Christmas lights downtown, and then went to the play...a very fun night and a nice start to celebrating Christmas!
Next week (on the 17th) I'm going with my mom and Taylor (brother) to see Voice Male! I'm excited...we've gone to their Christmas shows before and they are way good and very funny! So it should be a fun time!
Last night we had achievement days (I'm with the 10 and 11 year old girls--it's so fun), and we did Christmas stuff...the girls made their own advent calanders--coloring a picture of the nativity scene and then taking Hershey's Kisses and making like a candy necklace (twisting them and tieing them with yarn and things in plastic wrap) and then they stapled the necklace to the picture...it turned out way cute! I took my camera and was going to take some pictures to post, but the batteries weren't working...lame! So you'll just have to picture it in your head!
I was home the other day and playing around with my camera taking pictures, so here's some...
I put Barkley sitting on our little reindeer by the tree and he totally sat there and posed for me!!!
I had to take a couple of myself by the tree too...(I'm a nerd, I know, but that's okay, it's fun!)
My other little dog--Pocco--wouldn't sit still to let me take a picture of him, so I may have to attempt that one again another time when someone else is home and can help me try to get him to hold still for a minute. I need to take some pictures of just the tree and the lights and stuff outside too...so pretty and fun! I'll have to post those later with more Christmas season news and updates!
Life is wonderful and I'm loving it!!! I hope you are all enjoying this Christmas season!!!
Yo! Sounds like life is good! We'll be partying soon, so keep it up.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! Way to go on getting your associates. I can't believe how driven you are. I totally admire you.

Fun to see some picture of you! Your hair is getting long! Loved the dog posing on the reindeer! Way to go on your 4.0 and graduating! And I bet those activity day girls just love you as their leader! Hope you had a great Christmas!
