change is in the wind

I am so enjoying that I have to wear a coat to go outside and Christmas music is playing. It makes me so happy. This is my first holiday I can remember that I am not in school. It's so great to go ahead and start celebrating now, instead of feeling like I have to wait till finals are over. 

I have not heard from UTA yet, which is worrisome to me, but I'll continue to be patient. I really would like to start classes in the spring. 

I have started to simplify my material things and get ready for a easy move next summer, by cleaning out things i dont need. I have some purses you girls might like to have. 

Brian Jr. has been wonderful recently. I just love his company so much. My new apartment I found in Round Rock has a 60 lb. weight limit for all combined animals in the apartment. I have been tempted the past days to want to get another puppy!!

I got to visit Ashley yesterday. it was so nice. She is showing so much, due in February. I am going to take over her shower planning because her mom has some health issues right now. 

Im excited about Courtney and the baby!! I was looking back at pictures of Baby Brent and got so excited. 

Im free Thursday, I cant wait to see mom and dad. I actually have missed them so much. 

Reading Eclipse! Finally got through New Moon - Ill keep you updated when I actually finish the series. :)

Love you all

my hair is getting long and other news....

I feel like I have not updated you all in awhile so here it goes. 

My MRI results did come back and I have herniated discs along my spine. The doctor said that I could do steroid shot treatments or that surgery might help. He wrote me a referral letter for my insurance coverage so looks like Ill be having the surgery next year!! YEAH! Im so excited. 

Work is going well. I sleeping better recently, which is such a blessing and my headaches went away! Another praise. 

Im down in Cedar Park with Matt this week and next week. I just made Chicken Parmigana with capallenni pomodora and brownies. It was fabulous. I was so proud of myself. 

I really want to have a sister's night soon. Everyone look at their calendars and let me know. I thought the 21st would be good, but now I dont think it will work for me. Just let me know. 

So I voted for Barack Obama. I know, I know. I did my research and felt I made an informed decision about his stance on the issues that are important to me. No candidate will ever be the perfect candidate or agree with every view that you have, but there are people that you can put your hope in to make right decisions and I feel that he is something our country needs. I know in alot of ways, its almost "un-Christian" to vote democratic according to our upbringing, but I have found this to be false and that it is important to choose a candidate based on the issues and not just because they are republican or democratic. That said, Im very happy with the results of election day. It truly is a historic moment in the history of America and a true testament to how much our country has grown. 

I found a loft that I just love in Round Rock. Cement floors, exposed air ducts...Its PERFECT!!! Im pretty positive that I am going to be moving down here next summer after the baby is born. It will be hard to live away from yall but I PROMISE I will come down often and visit and come to all of your important events. Plus, yall can have a little home away from home if you ever need to get away for the weekend. :) :) 

Im excited about Thanksgiving and the holidays. Im going to go ahead & start listening to Christmas music.

Oh and I bought my TV!!! It's top of the line technology, flat screen, 1080 LCD and 120 Htz. hahah. I did my research. 

LOVE YOU ALLL!!!! SO MUCH!!! AND MISS YOU!!!
