Just wanted to say..

Merry Christmas Eve!

It's beginning to look a lot like...

Christmas! Yes, it is this week, so hard to believe. Makenna had her preschool Christmas party on Friday and now she is out of school for the next couple of weeks. The kids all sang some holiday songs, gave gifts to parents, got to sit on Santa's lap while getting a gift and then we had cookies and icecream.

Friday I also had scoured the web for my next haircut. I'm still growing it out but was bored with the 5 month old, now very long layers. I wanted a cut I could use as a style with still growing length. The cut I chose was a midlegth shag, oh yes, lots of layers=extra light hair but with all my length still. My stylist did a great job replicating the photo I brought in to her and decided to cut it all with a razor, oh yes! I loooooove getting my hair cut with a razor, the end product comes out so much more texturized and edgier. Needless to say I am in love with the new cut, I'll have to post a photo of it in the near future. I also went back to red hair this past week, firery red to be exact from Wella. It is a great red and it along with my new haircut make my highlights I did a couple weeks ago really look nice. It is also a demi haircolor so it will washout after a couple of months, ie-no roots, yay! I finally feel like me again, instead of a soccer mom..

I'm done Christmas shopping, finished last night actually, now I just have to sit and wait for my packages to come rolling in. I made the mistake of trying to Christmas shop in town last week and suddenly remembered why exactly I don't. TOO MANY PEOPLE. So I came home and finished the day shopping on web, including shipping, the exact same price as buying in the store but less work for me.

I have all my grades now for the semester and rocked A's on both finals and my term paper. Woohoo for another good semester and getting paid to finish my degree.

Merry Christmas!

Well my semester is finally over! I know my final grade for one class but the evolution class still has to grade my term paper and grade the final, although I did have a very high A before both of those so I should get an A in that class too.

Next semester I'm taking two classes again, this time Child Psychology and Into to Communication Theory, should be an interesting semester. I'm really looking forward to the Child Psychology class.

Last weekend we went over to Indiana to take part in the annual cookie making festivies, we had lots of fun and then on Sunday we celebrated Christmas there too. All our neighbors were happy to see me standing at their doors holding a plate full of cookies for them, lol.

This weekend we are suppose to meet up with Grand and Grandpa West around Bloomington to do some catching up.

I can't believe that it is almost 2011, the year will be over before we know it!

Here we go

Well...the semester is almost over now. I've turned in my term paper finished all my assignments except replying to a couple of posts and only have one final next week to review for. Luckily it isn't over the entire book but only over the last four chapters.
Last weekend we took a little road trip to Indy in order to meet Chris, Lara, Cathy and Darrell for a little weekend get together downtown. We had lots of fun cruising the downtown although it was a bit chilly.

Monday I took the car in to the dealership to get a recall done on it and had them install a new 12v battery while they were at it. The car had the original still in it and the voltage test in the car suggested it was dying. So in order to save myself a little pain and hassle since it is a vented battery and there are a ton of other connections you have to disconnect on the battery to get it out, I let them do it for me. It worked out well, they have wifi there so I plugged in my laptop and cell phone chargers and then pounded out the rest of my term paper.

This next weekend the three weeks of Christmas starts. This weekend is Christmas at grandpa Pat's then our Christmas then the Tennessee Christmas. Whew...
