Home Sweet Home

Well, obviously this is going to be a challenge for me to keep up with this blog business, i'll need ya'lls help! :)

to catch you up on things, we are all moved into the new house (YAY!)



Thats my mom and I jumping with excitement! I feel like a cruddy daughter though...i haven't been helping with the moving as much as i should've! but the house looks great, thanks to most of the work by my brother and dad.

Sidenote....my younger brother, as some of ya'll may already know, swore into the marines this past week, which scares me to death. He is only 17.. a few people have told me that is the scariest branch to join, so that doesn't help ease my reservations... He could use prayer and my family too! we're all a little taken back still, i feel like it hasn't set in yet and it won't until he leaves....

Which brings me to my older brother, he just left for Colorado, but when he comes back, i'll be in lubbock already and then he leaves for Dubai, so we had to say goodbye this morning. He came in and woke me up really early, i was really teary after he left, its so weird to think that its not just another short adventure for him...this is it...he graduated. he's moving. across the world...

and this is probably not blog appropriate (im still trying to figure out what is...) but i am so excited/nervous/scared/giddy about new years eve! all you girlies of mine know why, but for the newbies, the boy i have been dating flies in on new years eve....meets the family...meets the friends....and is here for 2 days. This is a LOT of pressure and is scary! this is a first for me, i've had my parents meet boyfriends from tech before, but its when they are up there. so this is a lot different, he'll be here....so hope all goes well with that :) :) anddddd....for those of you that meet him, pretend you didn't read this when you do! hehe

well, hopefully the next time i write isn't as long! glad im home, i've missed all of you soooooo much!

Why am I awake right now?!?!

So I am not as good about keeping up with this as i thought i would be! im working on it though, i just got all of my comments, and Nancy, i hope this assignment will suffice!

But here's whats new with me:

Well first off, I am in the midst of finals week, I took 2 today and I have one tomorrow (i guess its really this morning). Kind of bittersweet, i really enjoyed my classes this semester, especially the one that my final is over tomorrow (Business Law). But i think next semester will be more exciting with the classes i get to take!

And Today I found out some bad news that my boss at Bath Junkie (here in LBK) is going to sell the store. she says it's been really hard b/c they have another business and her father in amarillo is really sick and she's been having to commute to take care of him. We had our Bath Junkie Christmas party on sunday, before we found out, and it made me realize how lucky i was to have such an amazing boss and girls to work with, so it made it harder :( . Let me explain: My boss is who introduced me to the church that I go to, she is an amazing woman with a huge heart, and once a month she cooks dinner at her home for all of us since most of us are in college, she's like a mom out here for most of us and all of us girls are so close knit. We were all really upset to hear that she is selling :(

But on that note, I am soo soo sooo ready to come home for the break though and see everyone! Especially miss laura! (can't wait for you to come in!) It will be so nice to have everyone home at the same time again, maybe a little reunion at the carmacks'?? :)

And im not quite sure how you address these blogs.....diary-esque, or no?

Anywho, I hope everyone is having a wonderful December so far and staying warm! And good luck to everyone with finals!!
