Non-creative, quick update...

Wow...I don't know what to say. I'm already exhausted and Christmas is nowhere near. We've got the lights up, the tree trimmed, the advent house stocked and restocked (Georgi still doesn't understand "no touch!"), the wreaths are set, the house is decorated, presents bought and cards written and ready to mail.

Tanner has taken two finals and has three to go. We are entering what Aggies fondly call, "dead" week. The longer we live here the more aware I become of all the crazy college traditions and how they really do hold sway over this town. We plan Christmas Parties and vacations around whatever the college is doing. It's just a little weird when you're use to being autonomous. I'll suggest a date and someone will invariably say, "You can't do it then, that's Dead Week" or "Fish Camp" or "Ring Dance" as if those terms actually hold meaning.

On a side note, Tanner just got confirmation that he is now officially being officially transfered into upper division Chemical Engineering. Which makes him a SOPHOMORE! Whoop! After 3 years of school, we've finally made it! This means that companies will now consider him for internships during the summer.

This weekend we had our Christmas Show at the rink, and we participated in the Christmas Parade. My back and neck are sore from waving. My mouth is sore from smiling. My feet are sore from standing and running. At least my big weekend is over, and now we've just got to get through finals. Then it's a two week break before Tanner starts the mini-mester.

We're praying about a job for me. We're hoping that I'll be able to support the family so that Tanner can quit his job and just focus on school. I've got two job offers with pro's and con's for each. We just want to know which one would be the best for our family.
