| Hey y'all. Sorry it's been awhile. I'm in my last semester of school.... YAY!!! So Next Friday is the Martina McBride concert and I have front row tickets!!! And, less than two months until I leave on a cruise, and lord knows I need it! I just need to get away from this place! I hate the snow! It wouldn't be as bad if it didn't get warm and then cold again, but at least it's getting closer to spring. Oh well. Gotta get to class. More to come. | | |
| So last week my sister had to have hand surgery, so I was helping her out... Well, I decided that it was time for Emily to start walking.. so I tried to teach her. Let me tell ya, it's not easy! That was Friday. At Christmas she took her first step! Talk about the best gift ever! I taught her how to walk! Do you have any idea how awesome of a feeling that is? I felt such a sense of accomplishment from it. Talk about the best present! | | |
| "Respect your elders!"So all we truly want out of life for our loved ones is for them to have a happy life and not suffer. We always say that we hope our aged relatives "go quickly and painlessly". So why is it suddenly ok that great grandma is suffering? Why is it suddenly a good thing that she's going to die? Why do they not realize that her starving to death is suffering and a bad thing? All they think of is, "that would be a blessing if she went". How can they think that? We see our elderly as a burden in today's society if they take us away from our everyday routine. We are so self absorbed (not in a rude way) that we don't stop to appreciate what wisdom our elders have for us. Aren't we raised being told to "respect our elders"? So why is it suddenly ok as an adult to just see them as a burden? In civilizations in the past the elderly were looked up to and the older you were, the more important you were. They knew elders had wisom and knowledge that only comes from living life. The elderly weren't burdens that needed to be taken off their hands. So why is it that we can't see that anymore? Just remember, they are part of the reason we have life today. So my point in all of this, for all of you to remember, is "respect your elders". | | |
| Ok, so I had this class, Research Methods. Snore! I failed a test in there, really bad... 53% bad. So I HAD to get an A on the last paper and an A on the final. Yeah freakin right. If I didn't get a C or better I would have to re-take the class. I GOT A FREAKIN C!!! I'm so excited right now. Just the fact I passed makes me so happy! I got a B in intercultural communications, an A in Small Group communications, and an A- in interviewing. I'm so excited. | | |
| So I had surgery on my toe... it hurts, and I'm bored. Can't wear shoes, so going out for anything really doesn't work to well. That sucks cause I hate being stuck inside. Wednesday Christy has surgery on her hand, so I'll be babysitting the girls, and can't wait! They are so awesome. I can't imagine not having them around. It just seems like my life would be so much more empty without them. They're wonderful, and this is Emily's first christmas, so it should be lots of fun. Anyway, so how about I've wound up with 8 tickets to Martina McBride, so I'm totally psyched to go! I love Martina. Well, that's all for now! | | |
