Well we find ourselves in the hustle and bustle of finishing another semester of school and getting all of our holiday preparations done. I am very excited to announce that we will both be done with school in 6 short months. This has been a long road and not the ideal road for newlyweds but we have faith that it will pay off later. This semester Jon took a heavy load of 5 (all of them were 8 weeks, 2 sessions) classes and I took my normal 1. In the spring he will finish up with his final 3 classes and graduate the end of May! I will be taking two classes this spring, more than I am used to, and one the month of June. Although I won't finish until June it is getting closer every day.
As the holidays are getting closer we are trying to enjoy the festivities amidst the chaos of school, work and whatever else. The nice thing this year, we will not be going out of town for any of the holidays. We usually go out of town for at least one of the holidays but this year we were lucky enough to not have to. We convinced my dad's side to come and visit us for Christmas. I am very excited to be hosting the first Christmas celebration at our house with most of our family. Luckily I have finished the semester and started to do some shopping but there is still plenty to do. I am very excited for this week to come to a close and to have some time off work. I often feel like our lives are so hectic we seldom have time to take care of the basic things around the house. This break I have big plans for cleaning out my closet, and who knows what else ;)...we will see how that actually plays out.
We hope this holiday season finds everyone and their families happy and healthy. As we reflect on this past year we realize how truly blessed we are. God has given us a beautiful house, wedding and the love of one another. We both have jobs and the opportunity to work on finishing our degrees.
