Holiday time!

First off, I couldn't be more excited that Obama was elected president. I don't think I will ever forget where I was when it happened. More than anything I'm proud of our generation for getting out there and voting. What a turn out!

In other news... I have begun the countdown for the semester: 6 days of practicum, 17 days of class, 1 research paper, 3 projects and THEN a break!

In the meantime I have been traveling a lot. Rachel's (Russell's sister) birthday was a few weeks ago. She got a kitten which she named Toonces! We joke that we will be the crazy cat ladies some day. Baylor homecoming was two weekends ago. It was great. I go to Waco fairly often to visit Russell and friends still in school but this was a bit different. Meagan and Kelly flew in from Denver on Thursday night, Jessie drove up from Houston, and tons of other people made the trip back. Needless to say there were lots of dinner/lunch outings. Russell, Josh, and Pat hosted their last halloween party. It was fun to see everyone and celebrate together like old times. Russell and I were Jack in the Box and Wendy. Here are a few pictures:

Last weekend Russell and I took a trip to Austin for the Baylor vs. UT game. All in all it was a very lazy weekend. Lots of time spent with family. I got a tour of my sister's new condo which is amazing!

Next semester's schedule looks great. I'm doing assessment (testing) of all ages Wednesday and Thursday mornings and Our Children's House Wednesday afternoons. It will be all pediatrics in the Spring. I'm anxious to see how it goes since most of you know I'm set on working with adults. I need more experience though! I'm taking a variety of classes. The crazy thing is this will be my last semester of a heavy class load. This summer I'll take one or two classes and in the Fall, my internship, I'll have one or two classes as well. WOW things are flying by, December 2009 will be here before I know it! Until December I probably won't post again seeing as I should be using my free time to write my paper and do projects but I'll need distractions. Hope everyone is doing well!
