Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other festive things

Hello Everyone!

I knew that I needed to update my blog when my sister told me that she updated hers. It is rare for Sarah to update before I do. This is another area in life where I can't let my sister beat me! So here I go to tell about what has been going on.

Thanksgiving was a lot of fun! It was sad because Nana and Papa couldn't come, but we were still able to be around family. We had a BIG Thanksgiving dinner with Aunt Sue, Cousin Julie, Great Grand-mom, Great Grad-dad, Dad, Mom, and Sarah. Sarah and I decided to take a walk after our meal which was good, but it wasn't that fun in the rainy, cold, Indiana weather. After we borrowed some scarves and big coats from the Grands, we were a lot better! It was good to just be around family and enjoy each others' company. Plus the smoked turkey, pumpkin pie, stuffing, orange salad, mashed potatoes, rolls, etc. were delicious!

Since Thanksgiving, I have just been focused on school and also praying that I passed my two other Praxis tests. I am happy to report that I passed my Curriculum, Assessment, and Instruction Praxis! I am just waiting on the PLT (Principles of Learning and Teaching), and I should get those results soon. I am going to stay positive! It seems to be working :-)

I am counting down the days right now. I have 6 more days until I am done with this placement, 9 more days until I graduate, and 10 more days until I go on the Cruise! Part of me wants to lose some weight before I go on the cruise, but I don't have the will-power. My cooperating teacher is on a no sugar diet, and I am in awe. I couldn't do that. I guess I should just work on developing a charismatic personality so a woman will love me for who I am! :-D

Well, I best be going. If I don't blog later on, have a Merry Christmas!
