Calm Before The Storm

Well I am actually hoping that this semester won't be a storm but more like a walk in the park! Today is the last day of Christmas break if you will....well technically Monday is for me, but since I have to work ALL day Monday today is my last day to just enjoy the day..well except for the part about going to work later...Brian seems to think I need to contribute to our finances or something ;) It has been a nice relaxing break and looking back at the list of things that I had hoped to get done over the break I am proud to say that I was able to get all but one of them done! I was able to spend quality time with Brian and my family, see Aaron Baron alot, clean out my car, clean out my closet, and clean and organize our apartment!

Everything is going great! Our final wedding plans are well underway, Kim has sent out the invitations for my shower, and we're getting excited that in just 19 days we'll be on a plane to San Diego to see my brother for the first time in 86 days!! I do have to brag for a minute and say that I am very proud of Brian, he finally wrote my brother a letter (and it was over half a page!) the other day. I have been writing him a letter everyday since he's been gone and I told Brian that it was time he write to him (he says that he figures I say enough for the both of us!). I told him that he should get a blog, but I know that will probably never happen...who knows maybe he'll comment on this one soon enough.

Please say a prayer for my brother as he has what is called The Crucible in 10 days!! This is the hardest part of Marine bootcamp, after he completes this he will officially be referred to as a Marine!! Please pray for mental as well as physical strength and especially strength for his ankle, as he's been having trouble with his ankle. We are so very proud of him and can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees all of us!

Brian and I are looking forward to a relaxing weekend. I have to work in the morning and then Brian and I are going to our niece Sophie's 1st birthday party and then Sunday we are getting some final things done for the wedding and getting ready to go back to school. Oh yeah hopefully I'll get my IPOD touch this weekend! ;)
