Christmas Time!

Hello all! I haven't written in a while, it has been a busy couple of weeks. I started a new job; I am now working with Jayson at RR Donnelley. For those who don't know what they do, it's pretty simple. Our machines put together things like Verizon bills and send them to the Post Office so they can be sent to their customers. It's a pretty easy job--I just check the numbers and make sure that the right pieces of mail are going into the right containers. Hopefully I will only be working there until after I graduate (which is coming up soon!!!) and then I can get a job in the medical field while I wait for nursing school to start. Anyway, like I said, it has been busy.

Some new things that have happened since I posted last:

Jayson, my ever so loving husband, bought me a brand new car!! Our old one was giving us some problems and I wasn't really happy with it (long story) so he signed to buy me a new one. It is a 2010 black Hyundai Elantra Blue. We bought it two days before Thanksgiving and I couldn't love it more! Jayson wasn't too attached to it right away but now I find him taking my keys so he can drive it to class, haha. I was going to post some pictures on here but with all the snow and stuff, it looks really dirty so once I can wash it, I will get some pictures up.

We also have a new dog! She is a four month old Boxer. She is such a sweetheart. Her name is Annie. (Get it? Annie (our new dog) and Oakley (my ShihTzu)? Annie Oakley?? Haha!) She is so much fun to watch. She is still very uncoordinated and walks really funny because of her long legs.



The second picture is Annie trying to scratch her neck (she didn't like the collar) with her back leg.
Oakley likes having a playmate. They yank on each others collars and play tug-o-war with their toys. It's really funny. When they aren't playing with each other, they are sleeping on either side of me on the couch. Tired lil' puppies. :)


Let's see, what else is new. Oh! We went and took my little brother and sister (the twins) to see Santa yesterday! That was exciting. It was an adventurous day. Kaycee got her glasses on and she looked so cute in them! After that was done, we met my other sisters (Chelsea, 16 and Sydney, 11) at the mall with my mom and dad. The little ones were excited to go see Santa but once we got there, Kaycee became the shiest little girl I have ever seen. Tristan almost made it to Santa's lap but even Sydney sitting next to Santa didn't really help. It was cute; it'll be interesting to see what happens next year when they are a little older!




















Let's see. I think that almost catches us up. It's Christmas break from school; it is nice having Jayson home during the day. I have had an online class so I don't have to go to campus like him this month. I am down to the last couple classes!! I only have two more months of class and then I do my externship. I should be done by April and then I officially graduate May 21, 2010. I am getting so antsy! I start applying for nursing school in Jan./Feb. so that will be another nerve-wracking disorder to go through, haha. I am excited to start something new but it'll be much tougher than the degree I am going for right now. That'll be a good thing though; I have gotten almost bored with this one. I definitely need to go for my RN!

Jayson and I are super excited for Christmas this year! We both have finished our shopping for each other. We even went and had professional pictures done (courtesy of WalMart, haha) so once I get those back, I will post some on here. I can't wait to watch Jayson opens his presents. I have managed to successfully keep his present a secret for over a month now! Just 2 1/2 more days!! He will be so excited. I can't wait. He is just as excited to give me my presents; he was very proud of himself for his "thrifty" shopping. :)

Anyway, I am pretty sure that is it. Sorry it has taken so long for me to write this month. Hopefully I will be a little better but January is going to be just as crazy. We are required to work 7 days a week because of tax season so I won't have a day off. It should be interesting. Jayson has worked one before but I haven't so hopefully, on February 1st, I will still be gracing the planet! Give our love to everyone and I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas! I know we will!!!! Love you all! :)
