Break!

What to do what to do..I'm officially on break and I have nothing to do. I haven't felt this way in a very long time...actually, I don't know if I ever remember feeling this way. Even over the summer I had work so I always stayed busy, but I decided to take a couple of much needed, and I think well deserved, weeks off work so I don't go back until Jan 4. So, until then I must keep myself occupied around the house. Monday and Tuesday consisted of wrapping presents and baking, but now I don't have anything to make or anything left to wrap so I decided to update this since I haven't lately.
One reason why I have not been able to update my wonderful blog is due to the horrible semester I had. I had one education class that completely took over my life. It was 6 credit hours but felt like 100. Now that it's over I can finally breathe again. I do have to admit that I really enjoyed the class. Yes, I know, I'm a nerd, but the class was Reading Methods. We had to learn pretty much how kids learn to read so that we can help them improve and all that fun stuff. For part of the class we also had to tutor a struggling student just so we could get the experience and actually put what we were learning to work. I believe that I would have enjoyed this class a lot more if I did not have to put so much time and effort into it. At the end of the semester I had to turn in two 2" binders full of papers and work from the class. One was my tutoring binder and the other was a resource binder. Inside the resource binder we had to have all of our papers she passed out to us and all of our notes from the reading. By the way, my shortest thing of notes was probably 5 pages. I used 3 ink cartridges for my printer and spent at least $1o in the library printing stuff off for this class. Oh well, I will stop complaining now because THANK GOD it is OVER! :) Now, I just have to remember everything I learned so that I can pass the Praxis 2 Reading Specialists test that I am taking Jan 9!
Along with this class I also had other classes that I was not too excited about and that also gave me trouble, but I managed to make it and I even managed to get 1 A and the rest all B+'s so I would say that is pretty decent. :)
I'm excited for Saturday. As of right now, that is the day that I get to see Tucker again and I can hardly wait. It's been a week now and I haven't really gotten to talk to him much this break and I didn't even get to say bye before he left for break :( I was hoping that he could come up tonight and stay the night so we could have Christmas with my family, but I guess that's not working. He said he will probably have to go in to his dad's shop today and help out but I highly doubt that is going to happen since he just had surgery on his toe yesterday and he called me last night at 11:45 and talked to me till a little after 1 this morning complaining about how much pain he was in. I don't think he would be going in to the shop to stand on his foot all day if he was in that much pain last night, but who knows. I could be wrong.
Well, I suppose it is almost lunch time so I should probably go figure out what I'm going to fix today.

P.S. hopefully later I can post pics of the presents I made for Tucker's sister and parents for Christmas. I would post them now, but I forgot to take pictures of them before I wrapped them. teehee. The only pics I have are on my phone and they are not that great. If you are just dying to know what I made them you can google Alphabet photography and its something like that! :) Hopefully they will like them because I sure loved making them. And if you are reading this and would like me to make one for you...let me know! ;)

Prayer for a Friend

Lord I lift my friend to You.
I've done all that I know to do.
I lift my friend, to You.
Complicated circumstances
have clouded his view.
Lord I lift my friend up to You.

I fear that I won’t have the words
that he needs to hear.
I pray for Your wisdom , oh God.
And a heart that's sincere.
And Lord I lift my friend up
to You.

Lord I lift my friend to You.
My best friend in the
world, I know he means much
more to You.
I want so much to help him, but
this is something he has to do.
Lord I lift my friend up to You.

There's a way that seems so right to him.
But You know where that leads.
He's becoming a puppet of the world.
Too blind to see the strings.
And Lord I lift my friend up to You.

Lord I lift my friend to You.
I've done all that I know to do.
I lift my friend, to You.



Don't have much else to say right now..
heard this song today and it really fit in to
something that happened tonight...so it must
 really be a God thing...funny how he works sometimes...
