I typically love the holiday season but this year I have Grinch-syndrome. Our tree is up we've bought presents but I'm just not too excited about the holiday festivities.
My brother Ben (Not Jose's brother Ben my brother Ben confusing I know) got married on the 13th of November in the Dallas Temple to Juliana Johnston! It was a beautiful day and beautiful ceremony, and beautiful reception. I had the joy of doing her hair and being able to go in the brides room with her and her mom to fix up her hair and do little touch ups on her make-up. I love that room. :)
My oldest brother Nathan and his wife Casey were able to come down for the wedding. I was fun to get to see them we rarely see them but like once a year but this year we got to see them twice! Back in May for my little brother's High School Graduation and then again for the wedding! It worked out good for them because Nathan got a job in Washington D.C. working in communications (he's in the Navy). So they had to move from Washington State to D.C.
Jose had finals last week and passed them all!! yay!! I'm so proud of him! Now for some down time until he starts up clinicals and then it's all down hill from there-in a good way of course. I can't wait until he is DONE with school completely. Even though he loves learning and will probably always be studying something. I am looking forward to no more working till after 10 at night, no more not seeing each other until he gets off work late, no more Kohl's. I quit Kohl's back in October ( not sure if I've mentioned that oh well if I did) and I love it! I am so much more less stressed out! I love having Mondays to do whatever I fancy, or just simply get stuff done!
I was released from Primary. It was a sad day. They called me as Relief Society First Counselor. I can't say I'm totally thrilled about it not like I was when they called me to Primary Music Leader. I'm terrified. I can handle children they don't scare me. But women can be vicious. I teach my first lesson of the first Sunday of the new year, no pressure right? But I think what I've got in mind for the lesson is going to be great.
Women can be vicious but the women of the ward are so sweet and understanding. I know you'll do great and I'm sure they'll love seeing a new face in there. I'm so happy for you guys that you'll be able to spend time together again. We will be going into that stage in the spring. Both of us are headed back to school. We are CRAZY. Best wishes and I hope that you have a Merry Christmas.
