Thanksgiving fun!!

sorry for the delay on posting, I think the end of the semester has got me quite busy. :) well, thanksgiving was a lot of fun. It was so nice to spend some time with family and friends. The company was great and the food was delicious. It was really great to spend some time with Najwa and the kids. They helped us decorate our Christmas tree, which was tons of fun. Our house looks all cute and christmassy. :)

well, i took a final this monday and did great (94%), so I just have 2 more papers left and then I am done with my first semester of PhD school. I am almost finished with one of the papers and plan to finish the other one on sunday. I am hoping to be able to work on them a bit tonight, while michael watches the cowboys game. Hopefully, I have enough energy. I find it is very challenging to get home from work and then begin working on papers and such. I am determined to stay motivated because if i can get part of the papers done tonight, that will give me some time to go shopping on sunday. :)

well, michael got some great news. He received an interview for the nurse anesthetist program at TCU (the one he wants to go to). The interviews are for early january, so he has started studying a bit so he will be ready. I am so excited for him. This is a big step in the interview process. Other than that, life is good. Work is ok, but what more can i say about that. i am looking forward to christmas. It is so nice to be home in the states and in our own home for christmas. We drew names this year from christmas and i drew my sister's name and michael drew elizabeth's (my brother's wife) name. I think it will be fun to shop for them and not to have to shop for a ton of people. we are trying to find some time to take a picture for our holiday cards, so hopefully we will be able to do that this weekend.

well, nothing really new to report. I am really excited about having a month off between semesters. I don't start class again until january 14. thank goodness for that. Also, my sis will be home for part of that break, so we will be able to hang out and have some fun. maybe she can help me go shopping, she is really good at finding cool clothes. well, i am off. hope you are all well and that your thanksgivings were great.
