WOW!

Okay! So I can't believe that Christmas is already over, but it will be in my heart all year long as I try and do the project for next year! I have scanned over 3,500 pictures over the last 4 days and it is fun, but overwhelming because I still have soo much to do... I know everyone is going to get sick of hearing about my picture project... so sorry! I just am trying so hard to get as many pictures scanned as I can before the audits at work and school starts on the 12th! It was fun seeing a bunch of you around Christmas at Alli's shower. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a fun New Years!

Crazy Month~

These past few weeks have been crazy ones. With finals & getting ready for Christmas it has been crazy! Tonight is my last final!! YEAH!! I am so glad this semester will be over because it has been a crazy one! On Sunday I stayed in Pocatello, so that I did not have to get up at 4am & drive to Pocatello for my exam at 7am. It was suppose to be a cumulative exam so I studied for 3 hours on the first 6 chapters...needless to say their were only 2 question on the exam! Bummer... I just hope I passed his class. Tuesday I had another final & had gotten together with one of my friends from class & we studied a total of 10 plus hours over the weekend & then I left work at 2:30 to study some more! I checked my email before I left work, but there were no email's from the teacher. I went over to the school & studied more & I felt really good about this test, because I wanted to get a good grade in the class. The test was suppose to start at 6pm everyone was there except one student & the teacher. We waited around for half an hour before someone checked their email. He had emailed us at 2:40 that the test was cancelled due to weather conditions & his "beater" car. I was happy that it was over, but furious that I had studied so much. Then a couple of weeks ago my week went like this...Monday-sick& missed a test Tuesday- my coworkers mom died Wednesday- went & made up the test & got a parking ticket Thursday- my brother went to the doctor & that same day they did a catscan to check & see if he had a tumor.(We got test results back a week later & he doesn't have a tumor Thank goodness) Friday- my coworker's mom's funeral. That week I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown because I still had school with all of that going on. So even though my grades aren't going to be as good as I would have liked them to be it's ok because there are more important things in life. Besides all of this I have been working on a big Christmas project for next year...DVD for my siblings. I am scanning, scanning, and scanning pictures that we have of when we were growing up. I think so far I have scanned over 4,000 pictures & still have it seems like 10,000 to go! I am seperating them by child & scrapbooking them all on my favorite website for this (scrapblog.com) and then I am putting them on a DVD to music so that their kids can see what they were like growing up. I am also putting all of our home video's and dare video's on DVD for them as well. I wanted to have it done for this Christmas, but next year it will be done! I started doing DVD when my neice McKayla was born. I did two her first 6 months & then I did one for her for her birthday. I am going to do this for her every year! I also did one for my brother's 30th, my brother's wedding, my coworker's mom's 80th (it was in October & I also went & took pictures...last one's ever taken, I feel very fortunate to be able to take them) I also just got done with one for my mom's friend for her siblings & kids with her parents on it. Her parents are both gone & she has the pictures of them growing up and through the years the DVD turned out great! I am also working on one now for my grandpa's 80th~ Anyways I better get back to studying, I can't wait to see you all for Christmas!
