Once again, a little birdie kept throwing hints at me to post on his website, so here goes!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  Trav made this Christmas the best I’ve ever had!  I’m spending my winter "break" working at Citizen’s in Jackson, as usual.  I dread January 7th more than any of you could ever know (except Trav, of course!).  But, atleast this is the last semester I’ll ever have to leave Trav for weeks at a time!  I’m off to try and get Trav to go to bed, I’m very tired and he seems to be cheery and ready for an all nighter.  I…am not. 

I passed the Praxis Principles of Learning and Teaching test! I’m extremely happy because I was 100% sure that I had failed!  I am one graduate class away from being a fully-certified, Rank II teacher. I’m so happy! For a whole month, the thought of failing that test has been at the back of my mind, which has made me somewhat grumpy. I would like to appologize to Becca and my family for having to put up with my fear of failure. I love you all!

With tomorrow being Christmas Eve, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!

This morning I wrapped Christmas presents. This is one activity that I like to do year after year. I love being able to buy things for those who I care about. I know, I know…Christmas isn’t supposed to be about the presents. For me, it isn’t. It’s about family: The food and the company are always great. But seeing someone’s face light up as they open something thoughtful is priceless. I like to buy gifts that people really want, which doesn’t always mean something expensive.
