6. Go on at least one date (it's been awhile...)
7. Start working my way out of student loan debt
8. Quit drinking caffine every day
9. Start enjoying exercise agian
10. Read the whole Bible

My first scarf...

So, after wanting to learn how to knit for over a year... and being very unsucessful at trying to teach myself. Then I kind of learned from a fellow volunteer in Bolivia... only to have Bolivian airport security yank the knitting needles from my yarn on my way home. I hadn't had enough time to practice and I couldn't figure out how to begin agian. So... finally. My mom's friend Caramel, as a Christmas present, paid for me to take a knitting class with her one night a week for 3 weeks. We've had two classes. I made a scarf. And a half a scarf, but I need more yarn to finish it... But anywho... this is my first scarf. It has errors, but it's a scarf.

Crazy animals...

These are the crazy pets I'm house/pet-sitting for this week. They're kinda cute.


That's Max.


This is Moses... he looks a little snotty in this picture, but he is, so it's ok. :)

FINALLY!

Look what I finally got in the mail today. Two months after I finished my requirements it was finally granted, hence the date on the diploma... and now, a month later, I finally have it. I FINALLY can finish my liscensing process to start my job!

It's been awhile...

So, back when I was a very little girl... my Aunt Lue used to rent attic space to live in from this family. This family, called the Jones' family, had children my age. We used to play with them. It's probably been 20 years since I've seen them. In college I realized that Alli, the girl from the Jones family, was friends with one of my high school friends, Kate... and eventually became her roomate. Still didn't ever see her. Just heard her name here and there. Heard she wasn't their roomate anymore because she did something silly like, go and get married, last year.

So, high school friend Kate had a Christmas party last night. I went to said Christmas party and so did Alli, the girl I haven't seen in 20 years. We talked for awhile. We took a picture together so my Aunt Lue could see it. This is for you Aunt Lue. :)

It's the season...

It's the Christmas season of course... but it appears to me that it's also the season for Aleathea's friends with the first name of Jen to get engaged.

The first one was last weekend. Jen Tripp that I went to Jamaica with in the summer of 2003. She's engaged to a guy named Todd. Now, being I haven't seen Jen in person since we returned from Jamaica and have only talked to her via the computer... I have never met Todd. But, I assume, from the way she talks, that he is a wonderful man. They're getting married this June. Here are Jen & Todd.


Then you have of course, Jen Falck. I met her in college and she's an awesome friend that I don't get to see nearly enough even though we're living only about an hour apart agian. She's really busy. I haven't found out the story yet... but she and her boyfriend, now fiance, got engaged just today I'm thinking. I knew it was coming though. 'Cuz she told me... not because I'm psychic or anything. They're getting married next year (2008) in May or June. So... here's Jen & Mark.

(sorry, that's a 2 year old picture, but it's the only one I have without stealing one from facebook)

Congrats to the newly engaged Jen's of the world! :)
