New Year in a Nutshell

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Well life has been just a little bit crazy for the last 3 weeks so I am just going to list things off and run.

Dec. 18th - Mom and Dad arrived - yea!

Dec. 23rd - Mom and Dad sold their condo - yea! again - they settle 2/5/06!!!!

Dec. 24th - cut my hair off - went shorter than planned because another inch meant being able to donate it to Locks of Love (something I always wanted to do!)

We had a wonderfully small Christmas. Church Christmas Eve altogether candle light service. Jessie survived and I managed to light my plastic candle cup on fire! (believe it or not they even let me come back!)

Dan gave me a great Christmas present - a membership to Womenfit! I love this place. I kinda helps that they have a 'resident' dog named Cardio who I have become fast friends with. (he's htere when the owner is).

Had a great New Year hanging out. Jessie stayed up til 2 (I still haven't caught up on sleep!)

And low and behold the unbelievable has happened. I have been offer a contract for a teaching position with Manassas Baptist Preschool where I have been subbing all year. I am now Jessica's teacher (and the teacher to all the other 2 year olds too) And they have already asked if I would like to return next year on contract. Which means doing the same thing I have been doing but with full pay!!! I am so proud I could burst! And so busy with little details for the classroom but it is a fun, can't stop smiling busy.

So far I am loving 2006. Mom and Dad leave for Florida this Sat and will be returning in about 3 weeks to live with us for awhile. Dad will be having surgery to remove a disk in his neck when they return. This surgery will hopefully relieve the chronic hand pain he is in. So please pray for him.

Well off and running! Need to get my art project prepped for tomorrow! :)

God Bless!
