Final Grades

I got a 4.0 this semester! (No thanks to my french teacher, she would have given me an A- but luckily I already got an A in the class via Clep Test. *blowing a raspberry at teacher* So there!)

Ian passed all of his classes and qualifies for a certificate of achievement (or something like that) = an associated degree! We're planning on moving to Weber in the fall and that will make thing so much easier to transfer over. (According to his brother who is an advisor at Weber.)

It will also be nice to be closer to immediate family.

:)

Merry Christmas!

I doubt I'll have time to write another blog before Christmas, so here's my holiday blurb.

Good things are happening. Ian got his job at the beginning of the month. While it has been difficult to get the hours he needs because they send him home early when it's slow, he's happier now. 
I was offered temporary work starting next Wednesday!! I got the work with the first company I interviewed with, Conservice. It is only temporary, but has the possibility to become permanent employment in the future. I'm very excited and grateful.

The Lord has answered our prayers. Things don't always happen when we want them to, but in the Lord's time. 

The past few days have felt so blah. I've been sitting at home, checking job boards for updates (not much out there), and really just trying not to go crazy. Now I have something to look forward to!

I'm hoping we get a ton of snow for Christmas. We supposedly have a storm coming in on Sunday and another one might come Monday night. We shall see. I'll be glad for any snow we get, but I hope for a lot of it. I know people don't like to travel in it, but I can still wish for a beautiful white Christmas.

Money is still tight. I wish we were able to buy more Christmas presents for people this year, but I'm afraid we have to limit it for now. It stinks. I love giving presents to people. Oh well. Next year, right?

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays as well!

He got a Job!!

So finally, after 8 months, Ian got a job! He's working at Papa Jay's. It's a small sandwich and jerky shop located by Hastings here in Logan. So we'll stay up here and do spring semester before moving down to Weber. That makes things a bit easier. We won't have to rush out and find somewhere to live just yet. Thank goodness!

Finals are this week. We have our French final tomorrow morning at 7:30. Luckily it's going to be a toasty 12 degrees outside while we wait for the bus. That will wake us up!

I don't have another final until Thursday. Though I have an online one that I can do at any time. I also have a final project due by Friday at noon. Hopefully I can get that done by Wednesday and I won't have anything to worry about after my Thursday final.

Now it's time to get ready for Christmas. We just put our wreath on our front door and lights in our windows. We're going to do snowflakes here shortly to add to the front door. I want it to snow more. we only have about an inch. We want more!
