Wahoo! Happy Dance! I got an A!

Wahoo!!!!!!! I got an A! I can't believe it! :) I haven't had a chance to look over the paper yet. I got a high B on the paper. So I'll have to look it over and make sure I don't make those mistakes again. I proud that I could do all of that, with J out of the country! And the house hasn't fallen down, or be infested or anything. It looks pretty good, if I do say so myself. :)

So I have had two classes, and two As. :-) 4.0 baby!

New Blog template

I was inspired by my sister to find a new blog template for my blog. I love decorating for the holidays. This is a quick easy way to decorate something. So I think I'll decorate my blog. Cute huh? My sister has a neat blog too, you should check it out. She's listed on my blog buddies list. :-)

Happy Halloween!

Busy week at school!

Wow! This week has been crazy! Yesterday we had a big scare. A girl said that she was almost abducted. Fortunately it was not true. Whew! We had cops everywhere, and the media.

Today a poor little fella choked on his lunch so bad that he turned purple. So they called 911 and an ambulance came and took him to the hospital. He's okay, but he may have aspirated some of his food. So we had an ambulance and a fire truck here for that.

I think our school has had it fill of visitors for the year.

4 weeks down, 9 to go

9 weeks to go. And I'm sure missing Joe. He's going to Brussels again tomorrow. Lucky guy! I'm glad he's not just hanging out in his apartment by himself.

J and F are had a good time this week. It amazes me everyday how well they play together. They are such good girls and enjoy each other. I hope that this doesn't change.

We went to Red Robin's tonight. The girls really missed Joe while we were there. J said, "We used to come here everyday with daddy." hehe! NOT! We don't eat out that much, silly! :) We wish we could have had him with us, but it was nice to not have to cook and clean.

I miss Joe!

The days are not going by fast enough. I miss Joe so much. He is 8 hours ahead, so it works out just the wrong way for us to connect during the week. We still have 9 1/2 weeks away yet. I am looking forward to him coming home, that is for sure. He's missing us a lot too.

What Color Are You?

You Are a Yellow Crayon

Your world is colored with happy, warm, fun colors. You have a thoughtful and wise way about you. Some people might even consider you a genius. Charming and eloquent, you are able to get people to do things your way. While you seem spontaneous and free wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme. Your color wheel opposite is purple. You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you have no depth.

Halloween's Coming!

The Halloween season is upon us. The girls are excited to decorate for Halloween. I'll have to get all of my fall things down this weekend. I wasn't going to do pumpkins this year, since we're by ourselves again for Halloween. But I think we need something fun to do since Joe is out of town. Life it too short, so we must carve!

J and F are doing well in school. F is in a new group that is a little higher than the one she was in before. The group she was in before had a bunch of rowdy boys in it, and she wasn't getting anything done. But her teacher says she's doing better now, and improving. Whew! J is doing well, of course. I don't have to worry about her. She is a great student. She misses big J though. More than I thought she would. We went to Build a Bear last weekend and she cried while we were there. Big J usually takes us there. We left without buying anything! I think that is a first.

I hope you all enjoy the change of the season. 9 1/2 weeks until Joe gets home, and 9 1/2 weeks until Christmas Break. Those happen to be the same day! :-)

An Answer to Prayer!

My mom coming to visit me was an answer to prayer. I was getting pretty sad before she came. And we were just going to be lazy and hang out of the house. But then my mom calls and is coming to visit for the weekend! I'm so happy! She was lucky and got the last seat on the plane. It was so packed, so it had to be a God thing. We had fun shopping today, and eating out. I'll have to skip eating next week to make up for it! :)

So now after my mom leaves, I'm going to focus on getting through this. Hopefully I won't end up moping around like I was before.

Back to the basics

My lovely sister was writing about the frustration about having to learn from the same mistakes, and the same lesssons over and over. I reminded her that in any relationship we need to get back to the basics, whether it is with Christ, or with your mate. We get caught up in our lives and own personal trials, that we forget about our relationships.

One thing is for sure, Joe and I are starting back at the basics. All we have right now is communication. And not even over the phone. We can talk over google talk, but that doesn't always work. So today we chatted on line. I don't think he's a very fast typer. But I think we have more conversation this way, that we do face to face. Very interesting. The conversation lasts longer when you type, thats for sure! I think when we go to Phoenix, we'll have to spend a lot of time together!

My mom just called! She's in Vegas! She's flying up here to see me!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. So I guess I'd better get dressed. I'm still in my jammies! After all, you don't need to get dressed to read homework.
