Lazy Blogger...

Since Carol has had no good reading for awhile I will now write about my exciting life!!! This blogging thing can be lots of work! :)
The semester is coming to an end. I have officially went to my last college class. I have one paper/letter to write for Monday and my semester is done. WOOHOO I also completed my Phase III Portfolio and passed with flying colors. My teaching philosophy was rubriced a 4 (the best you can get!) and let me tell you that I was more than thrilled! Next semester is student teaching/internship and I am really looking forward to it. My teacher seems very nice. And next semester the job search really begins!
As I am finishing my semster, Kyle is working his butt off. He has 4 finals next week. So while I hang out, he will study. I guess that is what happens when you decide to get your masters.
I will hopefully be putting up some fun pictures in the next week. On Monday, I will be celebrating Christmas with my old roommates. Each year we exchange names and make a a Christmas "something." Last year was stockings, which Susan has up in her apartment right now. My mom and I did a great job on those! This year was a Christmas wall hanging. I will post pictures when my person, who might read this so I won't mention her name, opens her gift. I think it is pretty cute. Tonight we have 3 Dieringer family members sleeping over and then in the morning we will be going to Beth's graduation. Very exciting!
So, that is all that is going on right now. Oh, I am reading these really good books called the Yada Yada Prayer Group by Neta Jackson. I am sooo into them. Check them out.
Love to everyone! And Merry Christmas soon.... I am excited!!! Please give me any ideas to make Christmas something special for just Kyle and I before we go home to the family Christmas.

Thanks for updating for me!!! So, some ideas to start as "married couple" traditions that take time to just enjoy each other before the crazy other family activities begin: 1. Go and pick out an ornament together that commemorates or signifies something special about this past year (this year might be something regarding a wedding), and make sure to put a date on it! That way in years to come as you are unpacking ornaments you will have stories to remember and tell to your children (and you'll slowly grow your ornament collection)

2. Exchange one special gift with each other. It can be something intimate or something you are super excited for the other person to open.

3. I haven't implemented this idea yet, but I would like to... create something fun each night for the "12 days of christmas" that lead up to christmas day: picking out an ornament could be one of them, watching an old Christmas movie, baking cookies together... something like that

Ok... well, I think that's all for now. I'll update soon :)
