Oh, Christmas Tree!

We got our first Christmas Tree today! We decided to get a tree today because it might start raining tomorrow. We don't really like wet trees ;) Thank you for the maroon and white ornaments mom, they look great!

Why I am Content (In a stressed sort of way)

• Eric is finally starting to feel better (Thank you for the prayers.)
• I made pop-overs and they were good.
• I am listening to the rain outside my window
• There is chicken baking in the oven

And the most important reason

• I may have a TON to do and only one week to do it, but my God who loves me made the world in one week...and I don't have nearly that much on my to-do list.

Theresa

I think this is post # 2 for me, Eric. Theresa has many deadlines approaching way faster than she can seemingly find time to meet. With me getting sick and her having to take care of me this week it has really put her in a bind. Please pray for her mind to be at ease and to be able to get everything she is required to do for school done on time. I'm not always able to help as much as I would like, and right now I know I can't. I couldn't even wash the dishes this week because I would have gotten my disease all over them. She has definitely done a great job of taking care of me...like usual...now we need some help for her to be able to write these papers, prepare for exams, etc. She is an amazing girl in case you didn't know. I thank God everyday for putting us together. Thanks to those who have been praying for my healing. I would ask that you still consider Theresa and myself, but now ask for her to have the mental clarity and relaxed mind necessary to accomplish the tasks in front of her at school. I can't believe she works 40 hours a week, takes care of a baby like me, and keeps a 4.0 as a full time graduate student. Wow I love her.

The Flu Blues

Bad News: Eric has the flu. This is a very sad state of affairs.

Good News: I already got my flu shot. Whoop!

You should get your flu shot, too!

Arkansas Here we Come!

Eric and I get to take a little vacation over the Christmas Break. We FINALLY decided where we are going to go. ARKANSAS! Very exciting. Apparently Arkansas puts a lot more money in their state parks than Texas does (which isn't very hard!) They have cool cabins and lodges in several of their state parks. We are a little late to reserve a cabin, so we are going to stay in a lodge. We had a choice between a lodge in the middle of a lake or a lodge up in the mountains. We choose the lodge in the mountains. YEAH!!! Here is the website if you want to be jealous! http://www.queenwilhelmina.com/

Still Craziness

Life is still pretty crazy for us. I am finding that it is hard work working full time and carrying a full load at school. I am really going to have to get down and dirty in school over these next few weeks. Everything is due the Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

I have finally stored up enough PTO time to take off of work! We get to go away for a few days over the school break. We are having the hardest time deciding were to go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We have 4.5days to get there, do something, and get back. Any suggestions?
