It's the most wonderful time....

It's less than a week away from Christmas and I get to go home tomorrow for a few weeks off. I should be super excited, but I am having trouble getting in to the Christmas spirit this year. I don't know if it's the health issues I've had recently, the unusually warm weather (it's been like 8o here the last few days), or that I am still unsure as to what all the plans are for the break. I am excited about giving my presents to my co-workers tomorrow, although one present has not come in yet (yikes)! I love this time of year, it really is my favorite time because I love cold weather and the look on people's faces when I give them their gifts. I hope that going home tomorrow and helping my parents decorate the tree will help bring some Christmas spirit.
On a side note, I am extremely excited about meeting my parent's new dog tomorrow. I have heard from my mom that she is a little bundle of energy, so it should be fun.

A new beginning

So I decided it is time to bring my blog back. I have not been blogging for a while due to some problems with my last one, but I am smarter now. I have had more problems sleeping lately, and my doctor believes part of it is due to the fact that I can't turn my brain off, so we're hoping that by bringing the blog back, it will help. So here are a few quick thoughts to start things off:

• I am starting to get very excited about Christmas. Not only do I get about 10 days off of work, but I get to see my family, including my awesome nephew Maxwell, and I get to meet my parents new dog.
• The Fall Semester has really flown by! I feel like Orientation was just a few weeks ago. It's a little scary, but it's been a good semester.
• I can not believe that I am a quarter of the way done with my Master's Degree. I am so happy to be back in school, I have already learned so much.
• I went to lunch with my co-workers today, and it just reminded me how lucky I am to work in such a great office with really cool people.
• I am really going to miss one of my co-workers who is leaving us. I don't know if we are going to be able to replace her with someone as creative, funny, easy-going, and fun as she is. But we will try our best.
• The Houston Astros made a very dumb trade yesterday. I understand you need a solid #2 pitcher (since they let Andy Pettite walk away), but to trade away your starting centerfielder, your #1 pitching prospect, and a solid fifth starter is just dumb. I feel like I will need to dedicate a whole post to the Astros off-season very soon.
• I am a huge Tony Romo fan! It's about time the Cowboys starting playing well, with the big exception of last week's game vs. the Saints.
• I am so thankful for some great friends, a wonderful family, and a good job. I feel like God is really using me here and I am glad I chose to stay in Georgetown and at SU.

So that is all for now, I will try and update this thing as much as possible. To those who actually read it, thanks for your support.
