It's a new year...

So it's been a month. Oops. I've been preoccupied with life and nothing too exciting has happened that I've neglected to blog about. I finished my finals and spent a week of doing nothing with my roommates as they finished out their semesters. Ashley and Jes graduated and got moved out after we had one last adventurous (to say the least) night together. It was a sad day when my three roommates smashed into Jes' over-stuffed car and pulled out of the driveway to take Lu to the airport. I felt overwhelmingly lonely that afternoon.

The next day I went home for a week of Christmas fun with my family. This included a sleepover with Jayda during which we played dolls and "horsey". When it came time for bed I realized that I may not want to have children as much as I once thought I did. She refused to fall asleep even though she was obviously tired, and by midnight, I was more than willing to trade spots with Kelly and let her deal with the unruly little princess. Don't get me wrong, I adore Jayda and I've spent the last three years of my life spoiling her with abandon. But anything that interferes with my sleep is enough to make me question my own ability to be a patient momma.

Now I'm back in Searcy, enjoying time to myself in the house. I've been cleaning, resting, and having fun with Adam and Amy. For new year's eve I went out with Amy to her friend's house. Her friends are so country... there was a bonfire and beer and chicken wings. I had a blast... but by around 9 Amy and I were both exhausted and her little step-daughter Madison was beyond ready for bed. By 11, after a quick sonic trip with Adam, I was in my bed fighting to stay awake until Midnight. Am I really that old?

it's beginning...

Finally, December is here! last night the girls and I put up our Christmas tree after I went to walmart and bought new ornaments. I went home for thanksgiving and forgot to grab our box of ornaments from last year, so I took it upon myself to buy the new ones. ashley had the idea to do gold and silver this year, and it looks really pretty! we've had our tv on the 'holidays and happenings' christmas music channel ever since we got home... i love it. it's starting to get colder outside. i'm not a huge fan of cold weather but at the same time i like it. i love wearing comfy warm clothes and snuggling up inside and i love wearing cute winter clothes to go out. it's not so bad i guess. it even snowed a little bit yesterday morning before i left springdale.

i had a really good time at home this past week. the only sad part was i didn't get a chance to see my friends. i got in too late on wednesday (thanks to my dreadful paper) and didn't get to go eat with everyone like i'd planned. i did get a lot of QT with my mom and sisters, though. so fun!

now it's back to school for two more weeks. i have 2 finals, a small paper and a few process recordings left and then it's freedom for a whole month! i don't think i'll even know what to do with myself!
