Wowza!!!

Well the top floor is so close to being done I can taste it. It has been awesome having matt here to help out. Speaking of matt, and brielle, it is a joy to have them back here. Matt is a really great guy. The bathroom is painted and just moulding, a bit of electrical trim out, and the plumbing fixtures is left. The plaster is completely done and all the walls have been primed. So in the landing upstairs there is painting, trim, and some bookshelves to be done. In one bedroom there is a door needed to be hung and in both rooms closets we have to hang the clothing rods. Sounds like alot but it is just a few minor things. Next we have to jump downstairs to do a bunch of work to get ready for an inspector.

Christmas was pretty nice but not quite what I wanted it to be. I can always remember in years past hanging out around the tree sleeping and talking with friends and family enjoying the gifts that we have given each other. This year we decided that we would not buy any gifts for each other, and that we would only give gifts that were hand-made, gifts to charity, or something to that effect. Of course my parents couldn't resist so we got a few things. My brother got me a onion slicer from Saint vinnie's. It makes those bloomin onion things like they have at outback.

School is looming on the horizon, and I'm getting a little nervous. I'm sure once I get into the swing of things everything will be fine. I'm taking first aid, spanish 101, writing 123, and some wierd human relations thing. Clyde Parker gave me an old ford escort. It's probobly kinda crappy but hey free is free. That remids me that I need to add Clyde in my prayers as one of the good blessings in my life. He is really a great christian, and a great guy.

Been feeling a bit depressed lately but I think I'm coming out of it. I think alot of it is coming from both of my siblings getting married. I kinda feel like I was skipping down the road arm in arm with my family, and then all of a sudden everyone was like peace B i'm out. Anyway more to come as I am caught up in the work and festivities of the season.
