Christmas in the air

I apologize for not writing sooner, I have been extremely overwhelmed with school being I had finals last week. It is hard to believe that I started yesterday (12-13) my last semester of my first year. These past 6 months have flew by like a jet. Things are looking more and more like Christmas every day. I am ready for it to come; however, I still have a little shopping left to do. My house is starting to look festive for Christmas. My mom has been doing some baking for our neighbors. We will deliver them soon and meet everyone since we haven't done so upon moving in back in October, we stay quite busy with work and trying care of the grandparents. I am slowly beginning to like it here, but it is still going to take quite a while for me to call Georgia, my home state if I ever will. I will forever be a Carolina girl! I am excited about the 2 week winter break from school during the Christmas holiday and I am also off work. I hope to get some things done like hanging pictures, sort clothes, and finish arranging my room. With working 10-11 hours daily and coming home doing school work 2-4 hours per night, just does not allow me time to do all that I wish to do. Just is never enough time in a day to complete everything. I plan to post pictures soon of the house. It is not like we want it, but we are still working on it. There are some minor things needing to be done. We have trees for the first time ever, and I am NOT a fan of the leaves since I park under them. I will be glad when they have all fallen off, so I will not have to clean my windshield every morning.

This past weekend was not such a good one in our household. We all were sick with some sort of stomach bug, it started first with my mom, who then so kindly gave it to me, and I kindly gave it to my Dad who was already sick with something similar to the flu. We are better from that, but my Dad is still trying to get over a cough.

I thought I lived in the deep south, but here lately have been having second thoughts its been quite cold to be the South. It is currently 24 degrees at 11:05pm and still decreasing with the expected low to be a teeth chattering 19 degrees. Though no snow has been in the forecast; however, some folks have saw flurries with no precipitation. If it is going to be this cold, I wish it would just snow and be done with it instead of torching us with these freezing frigid temperatures.
