Winter Break!

Yesterday marked the end of last semester. YAY! I feel so much weight lifted off my shoulders. I knew I was stressed this last time around, but I didn't realize how much until the last couple of weeks when my neck was stiffening up, and it was triggering multiple migraines. I can't tell you how happy I am to be done with two of those classes!
I really enjoyed my astronomy class. It was super fun to learn about how we think the universe is made, what it's made of, what it weighs, how big it is, etc. It was neat to see so much of God's hand work in that class :) I loved it.
After my last test I visited the local thrift store and found so many cute things for my girls to wear. I also found a book set of the Little House on the Prairie. I'm so excited to start reading those to my kids in the evening, after we are done with a Christmas book we are working on (Thanks for the tradition Grandma Hill!). I also found some other fun things to add to my art supplies. I have big dreams for the basement corner Jacob is living in, as soon as he's gone I will start working on a craft/sewing corner, fun! The girls are super excited about that corner too!
Today my body has decided to let the cold I've been starving off take a hold of me. I'm glad it waited until I was done with school to make me feel icky. I've had so much going on in the last couple of weeks, it's been insane around here!
This morning I took the kitten in for her last shots. Tomorrow she goes back for a tendonectomy and to be spayed.  One of the men in our Branch Presidency is a veterinarian and has an office right down the road from our church house. He's been a good vet, and will do the procedure. Merry Christmas Mittens!
Today I am having a bowl of Campbell's chicken alphabet soup for brunch. I love this soup! It's the only kids soup that Campbell's makes with peas, carrots and corn. I think it's so yummy! My love might be purely nostalgic, however, because when I was young and sick I had it. I remember having it at my Grandma Chris' house when I was little too, so it's a comfort food for me as well. She would give me a couple of slices of bread to dip into my soup. I loved how that tasted. Today I have a couple of slices from a french loaf. After brunch, I'm planning on a nap. Naps are essential for my recovery ;)
