Its snowing its snowing!!!

I am so glad its snowing...for one it means no chemistry tomorrow! :) I feel bad for Shawn....his uniform coat does not fit him at all. It barely goes to my wrists so you can only imagine how short the arms are on Shawn. Anyway, he got home late for lunch tonight because he ended up spending the last two hours out in the blustery cold and snow, he has his long johns on, and he was wearing his gloves but he looked like an icicle when he walked in the door. I felt bad...but hey he has been talking about how he couldn't wait to work in the snow. He decided not to go for swat... he said he wants to get done with school. He talked with someone about it and they said they understood. Yesterday while I was in class, he went and talked to an advisor in the criminal justice dept. I had no idea, until he was talking about only having 1 1/2 semesters until he could transfer over. I said transfer to where and he said here, and I thought he was talking about transfering to the canyon pd. I know silly blonde moment for me.

Our tree is all nice and decorated. This morning/afternoon, Shawn, put the lights up on the out side of the house (that was before the temp dropped and snow came a blowing in).
I love this time of year, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I just hate the commercialization of it all. Hopefully I can get some pictures up of the tree soon. I will probably take them tomorrow.

So lastnight, Shawn said that he wants to have Christmas Tradition(s). We talked about some... like what our families did when we were kids, but he really wants to come up with something original I guess? So my question is are there any traditions that you started, that werent really passed on or changed up? like something kind of original? Does this even make since?

Anywhooo....I think I am going to go put on some warm pjs and watch some tv. I have some shows to catch up on.

Yeppee!!!

So I got my presentation out of the way. Like always I stressed out over nothing. It was a little stressfull before, simply because 30 minutes before class we had to edit our paper and our handouts from the power point. One of the girls didn't participate at all. Well when each of us was suppose to contribute a page 1/2 to two pages and all she listed was 5 bullets on her topic. We could never get a hold of her. So we and talked to the Professor and she told us just to delete. So thats what we did. Our group was the only interactive one. We did a few discussions with the rest of the class and that gave us bonus points...plus we thought you had to dress professionally so we got bonus points for being the only group not in jeans. lol so that is my good news.
Shawn and I got our first big Christmas tree! We are fixing to decorate! Well I better go put on some Christmas tunes!

Hope all of you are having a great week!


EXTRA EXTRA - READ ALL ABOUT IT!!! MEGHAN UPDATED HER BLOG!!!
And TWICE with in a week!!! Who knows it might just snow tomorrow like its suppose to! Thanks for bringing the chance of snow to us Megs :) Love ya!

okay so its been a while

Wow, this month has gone by fast! It seems like we just did Halloween yesterday. Anyway, its getting towards the end of the semester for me. Only two weeks to go! I have a group presentation on Tuesday. Not really looking forward to it, but that's because I hate doing presentations. Shawn's birthday party was fun. Not to wild and crazy! lol!
Thanksgiving was great. Wednesday night around 9 we left here and went and stayed at my parents house. I think we ate around 12:30 and then we left at 3. It was nice, but it felt rushed because I had to be at work at 5. I never realized how many people drink on Thanksgiving. Not that it is a terribly bad thing, I just didn't expect to be super busy all of the Thanksgiving night. This lady out of no where gave me and my co worker 20 bucks a piece, she felt bad that we were working. I tried to give it back but she wouldn't. Shawn is looking in to joining the swat team here. I think they have a meeting sometime this week. At first he was going to wait, but was told that he should "attend". So that always makes things sound promising. We have his Christmas party to go to next Friday. Apparently, if you are PO you eat and leave, they wont bring out any of the alcohol until all the POs and there family are gone. I think we are having a gathering at someones' house. I have really met a lot of people in the last couple of months. Its nice to have friends here. Anyway, I have some stuff to do before I head off to work! Hope all of you had a nice Thanksgiving!

oh so what do you think about the background? I decided this should last me through out winter. I was going to do a Christmas one but I like the snowmen...besides that I knew my mom would love this one. lol

The music player is at the bottom. You can actually scroll through the list of songs and select the one you would like to hear. Depending on time...I will probably be editing and adding them :)

Frustrated!!!!

Okay so I typed up a post for today and right when I went to publish explorer closed out on me!! URG! Anyway I just got back from meeting Shawn and his buddies for lunch. They ate at Golden Corral I think the service there just keeps gettting worse and worse. I was going to stop by the bank and see my mom but I forgot she was at a seminar again today :(. Oh well I got a big hug from her on Tuesday. So I went a head and drove to the house to drop off Megs' jacket and there was a cow in the middle of their street. It was crazy! However, I almost felt like getting a rake out and raking the front yard and the driveway just to jump in a big pile of leaves. Oh to be a kid again! I am sure their neighbors would have thought I was crazy. lol Anyway the leaves are sooo pretty right now and the big tree is beautiful. I tried to take a picture but my camera died. I wish my front yard had a huge tree like that.
Okay enough about the tree....whats new? Shawn is loving his class this week. Each night they have had dinner at one anothers houses. I went Monday night with him. Tuesday night he cooked and everyone came over here, we stayed home lastnight and cooked for my Dad since he is working in a town not to far from here. That was nice. I haven't seen my dad in a month and half or so. Same with my mom.
Tuesday I think I had the worst day of this year so far. I woke up late. Rushed to school, parked like 5 blocks away from the school. Ended up locking my keys in my car. Argued with Campus police that I was a student. I felt like I was a laywer. Finally they came and unlocked my car for me. I got my keys. Then I realized I left my jumpdrive and buffgoldcard at home. So I wasn't going to be much help to my group for our group paper and presentation. Then I studied competencies 7 and 12 for a test when it was over 7 & 11. I think I did okay on the test. So by the time I left school at 6:30 my head hurt. So on the way home I took a detor to my moms house. Got a hug, went to the bathroom, and got some tylenol. By the time I got home I felt much better. Which was good because I had a house full of people.
I was planning on doing something big for Shawn's b-day but I couldn't decide between going out to amarillo with a bunch of his friends or just doing something at the house. But last weekend a few of the guys thought that was Shawn's b-day weekend and they were ready to do something. So Shawn and I had them over Saturday night and since we had everyone over here a guy shawn works with and his wife are going to have Shawn's b-day party over there. So nothing for me to really worry about. I think that Friday before the plan is to have dinner with my parents or at least that is what Shawn mentioned to my dad lastnight.

Oh its official well unless something else holds me back but my graduation date is set Dec. of 08. God's timing is not always our timing. It will be different graduating at that time of the year, but pretty awesome at the same time, something different!




So today I am thankful for the changing of the seasons! God makes it so beautiful!

thankful

I am thankful and blessed for Husband that stands up for me. He loves me for me, he understands me, he doesn't care about other peoples opinions about me. He obviously has his own. He even moved across the southern part of the country for Me and FOR US and OUR FUTURE! I am thankful for our first two years of marriage and I can't wait to have children with him, raise our kiddos with him, and then watch them have children of their own, and grow even older with him!

awww life

School is starting to wind down but that just means more to do. I talked to my advisor and got some kind of iffy/ bad news. I guess since I want to graduate a semester earlier than I was suppose to I have to go get it approved from 3 different people. And she doesn't think they will approve it since it requires me taking 18 hrs next semester and 15 over the summer and they also look at your commute time and mine is over an hour and she says that isn't going to look good. So that kind of bites.. but I know I will eventually graduate...I know it will be no later than Dec of 08. I wish it was spring of 08...and who knows maybe it will be. Like I said before, I guess this is what happens when you change your major so many different times. I guess another postive is that I will have more time to focus on each class and hopefully can remain on my all A streak.
Not much of anything going on this weekend except school and work. I have to study for a test, get my part done for a group presentation, and catch up in chemisty. I think Shawn is going to the firing range (I hope that's what it is called?) on Saturday. He is going to a fire arms instructor class next week. Which brings overtime, but he will be leaving at 6:30 in the morning and getting back at 6:30 Monday-Friday and then he has to work half the night Friday and then Saturday and Sunday. So he won't get his Wednesday/Thursday off next week. Plus he has school work, but I think he is planning on doing that all this weekend.

This is a pic that was taken last weekend at the Rainforest Cafe.

And the question ya'll have been waiting for? What do you think of the new background? It took me from 6 to 10:30 to get it done. Explorer made me really mad because it closed out like 3 different times and I had to keep going back and editing...finally I started saving after every little edit. Then another reason it took a while was because I was talking to Nyki on the phone. Has anyone updated to the new blogger? I have I like it because you don't have to wait to republish. I went to there new form of templates and if you don't like using backgounds with pics and stuff it is really simple to use because you just click on colors and it does all of your html stuff for you. However I didn't understand all the coding in it so that is why I reverted back for now.

This month I want to end each post with something I am thankful for:

1. I am thankful for my parents, because with out them I wouldn't exist. :) That and I wouldn't be who I am today with out them. I am greatful that I was blessed with parents I can discuss anything with. I know no matter what I tell them, they will always love me for me and they will never try to change me. I am also blessed that they love my husband just like one of their own and even when there were people who thought Shawn wasn't going to make it in the police academy before he even began, they were very supportive and awesome supporters just as his own parents were.

Stay tuned for 2...

btw just incase you didn't know...if you dont like the song that is playing you can skip it and go on to another one and if you don't like any of them click on the square button. The way I see it this is Shawn and I's blog so don't send me emails about how you dont approve or like the music.
