Sullivan, 4.5. months, wearing the hat Auntie bought her for Christmas.

Hey Everyone!

It has been a while since I wrote a decent blog. I’m sorry about that! So much to catch you up on… I’ll try to do a recap in a nutshell.

I finished my fall semester and got straight A’s. This is my first time I have received straight A’s in my graduate career. I am very proud of myself and hope to keep it up...but we’ll see!

My visit home to CA was great…for the most part. I got to go to a hockey game, shopping, out to eat at some of my favorite places, relax, see movies, visit with lots of family and friends, etc. The time was very nice. Even though there are many things I strongly dislike about the valley, there are many things I love about it too. It will always be home!!

I took the red-eye home on New Years Eve and jumped into my winter course on Acts the very next day. The class just ended yesterday. I am glad to have the lecture part of it done. I have two more assignments for the class and then all my Bible requirements will be met. One Jan. 22 I begin my last semester of grad school. I only have three courses left, and I am so excited about each of them as I think I will be learning a lot! Graduation is less then four months away!

Tomorrow I am going away for a work conference to Ocean City, NJ. This wonderful weather that we have been having will ensure a great time “down the shore.” Here’s hoping the meetings are short and free time plentiful.

On Thursday evening my good friend and former roommate Hannah will be in town to visit. We are planning a short trip to NYC and DC over the weekend. In DC we will of course be hanging out with another good friend, Kristin. I am really looking forward to this time together with these awesome girls!

This semester is going to be a big one for me. I need to discern where God is calling me next…to which job and to which location. It is exciting and scary at the same time. I am also considering, where I had formerly been so adamantly against it, getting licensed as a counselor. I am hoping to talk to my counselor at school to get her opinion. So who knows where I will be this time next year. Please pray for me!

Tonight I am going to Holli’s for dinner and whatever else we decide to do. Should be fun, and I am off to pick up my house a bit before I leave.

Happy 2007 – and here’s hoping for the best year yet!
