The Holidays

I absolutely love the holidays.  There is just one thing missing...and well...I miss him.  So the top picture is of our fireplace.  We hung all the stockings even though not everyone is here. It's really pretty at night all lit up.  We rearranged the playroom to accommodate the Christmas tree.  It looks really pretty.  However, this tree in this house looks so much smaller because the ceilings are so high! LOL It's okay.  We still love it!  Courtney and I hung Christmas lights around the outside of the house.  It's hard work!  I am glad I bought a really good staple gun!  HA!

I am so excited for my friend Mara to come and visit.  She will be here on Tuesday!  YAY!  Thanksgiving is this week!  Where has the year gone?  It's going to be great!  Good food, family, and friends. 

I can't believe in just 3 short weeks my baby girl is going to be 2!  I want to cry!  This year her birthday is pink ladybugs theme.  Her cake is going to be really awesome!  I can't wait!

My next class (teaching) starts Tuesday.  Criminal Law and Procedure again!  I like teaching.  I actually had one of my students call me and thank me for helping him as much as I did with this class.  I really do try to be an excellent teacher.  I think it's important and I remember very clearly what its like to be a student.  In fact, being accommodating to the needs of the students.  I had a student who managed to finish three weeks of assignments in time even though he experienced the death of his infant.  It was very sad and my heart went out to him.  The point is that it's important to try and help them succeed and I really enjoy teaching.

My friend Heather is on an awesome trip right now...ROME!! (Amongst a million other places!)

It all of a sudden right now just started pouring down rain!  Holy cow!!

Until next time...Happy Holidays!
