well, it is only 11 more days until Christmas! it really is hard to get into the mood for christmas though when you have to turn your air conditioner on. however! i think i am ready! one more shopping trip this saturday for a couple of gifts and i will be set!

just a couple of updates:
jason's birthday is tuesday (the 19th)! he will be 25. Poor thing has a test that Friday (his test for this whole pediatric rotation he has been on), so who knows how much relaxing he will get to do on his birthday. i can't wait, though...nothing like celebrating the birth of the love of your life. :o)

i get to go horse-back riding this friday!!!! for those of you who know my secret passion for horses...this is a big deal for me. i really cannot wait. it is a couple in our church who i have been getting to know, and i found out they have horses! they are so excited that i enjoy riding because they said they are always looking for people to ride. oh billy. this is completely a gift from my Father above. :o)

jason and i will be headed home to niceville for the Christmas break on Friday (22nd) after his test. We both get the whole week of Christmas off! i am excited about that! it is really hard to just go home for a couple of days since both of our families are there...it is hard to feel like i got to spend some good time w/ everyone and i feel torn in all directions. it is so much nicer to go home for a week!

that's it. you are now updated. :o)

p.s. please pray for jason's test next friday and that he can relax on his birthday!

winners!

last night i attended our church's women's christmas party and the activity of the night was to divide up into groups of four and you had 30 min. to make a gingerbread house out of the supplies given to you! after 30min. was up, the gingerbread houses were presented and judged for the best one.
ours won!!! woohoo!
