WOW! 100 posts? It only took a few years to do it!
Hello from DFW, Texas! Shelley is still in the USA (thank God) and Adam heads back to Japan tomorrow (sad about that) but he'll be back in a few days for a meeting (part of the reason Shelley is STAYING here for a few extra weeks)!
We did a family Christmas the weekend before Christmas {no photos because it was a no make-up in pajamas kind of Christmas} and then had a Christmas celebration with the entire family here in DFW. We played games, ate good food, and caught up with family.
I have been catching up on SLEEP here lately and allowing myself some creative outlets. Lee got off of work at 3pm on Christmas Eve, so he didn't get a big break, but we slept in Sunday and had a relaxing day so he'd be ready for work. This is the first Christmas since I was 18 that I haven't worked. It is SO WEIRD and SO GOOD! I can actually cook dinner, bake, clean, and run errands all in the same day!
I will head back to Houston in a couple of weeks as 2/3 of a nurse. It hit me today that I'm almost done with school. It was an exciting and terrifying thought all together. I NEVER imagined becoming a nurse as a child or even as a young adult, but I'm incredibly thankful I had a quarter-life crisis and pursued this calling.
Please keep Lee in your prayers. He is up for a promotion, and while it would be with the same company, it is in an entirely different capacity. He thinks he would like the position, but as always, we are praying he is led in the right direction for him and our family.
Speaking of Lee...to all you suit-wearers {or spouses of suit-wearers} Dillards is having a 50% off already reduced by 70% or more merchandise on 01/01/2011. You can hold merchandise and pick it up that day to get the discount and we're talking discounting $1000 suits to a little over $100. I only know this because the aforementioned position requires additional suits for Lee.
I hope all is well. I SWEAR I'll post a million pictures soon {I LOVE looking at everyone's blogger pics}. I just have to locate my camera charger!

One More
One more final this semester that is! I'm really excited that Thursday at noon = 3 weeks of freedom. I feel like there is some impending doom headed my way, but I only need a 60 on the final. It is probably just all of the stress leading up to the end of the semester. Hopefully I'll feel amazing at noon on Thursday!
In other news, Shelley and Adam are in town! We've had lots of fun all over Texas--Victoria, Austin, Houston, Corpus Christi, Rockport, and more in the days ahead. Texas is SO MUCH cooler than Japan {or at least that is the brainwashing we're attempting}. Lots of pictures to come!
Lee and I get to spend the next MONTH together! We are so excited to be back in the same home for a little while. I cannot wait to be able to focus on Christmas and family.
Lee has worked really hard while I'm completing this program. It is nothing short of a miracle that we've been able to do this, and I {finally} trust that it will continue. Everything that needed to happen--the stars that had to align--even the mid-Fall semester scholarship {random timing} I received just when we thought we wouldn't be able to financially make it. Believe it or not, I'm kind of excited to re-enter the workforce next Summer. Obviously the paycheck will be back {thank goodness}, but I'm more excited to be doing something I love. I've always enjoyed my work, but this is going to be different. It is already different. I'm fulfilling a calling that happens to be extremely rewarding.
Speaking of miracles, Lee just called. It is after 10! Have a wonderful few days--pretty soon I'll post as 2/3 of a nurse!

Winter Sick
So as I'm sure all of my avid blog readers know, I get sick pretty much every winter. I have this theory that it is just my body telling me to slow down; I am always very busy around Christmas, and my body just gives up! In any case, I'm sniffling, coughing, dizzy headed, etc...
I am down to 1 last course to finish before Christmas. I have an exam tomorrow and a comprehensive 12/16 then I'm done!
SHELLEY IS HERE FROM JAPAN! We surprised my Mom (video is not coming--it exists, but my Mom would kill me) and showed up. She screamed and cried for 30 minutes and I'm shocked that the police weren't called from all the action!
Finally, I have to brag a little bit. We took a comprehensive exam in my OB course today that is administered to most schools at the end of each course (sort of like the TAAS test if you grew up in TX, but on a national level). I'm doing OK in OB, but I definitely don't feel like it is my strong suit. Long story short, I scored almost perfectly on the exam. I was over the moon. I AM over the moon!
That is all for now. I'm going to try to do well on my exam tomorrow and then spend some quality time with Shelley...oh and I have to hit the books for my final.
