Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all...
Well lets see what has happened since I blogged last... Well my semester ended. THAT MEANS NO MORE BIO SCIENCE AND NO MORE DR. JEFFEREIS AGAIN EVER! It was a good semester over all. I learned a lot, was challenged to think about my life as a teacher, and spent good time with many friends.
After school ended I came home. Then I began working on my Mom's Christmas present. We had decided to make her a scrap book this year. A family memeber (I won't mention names but her initials are MJR) was supposed to find good pictures to put in it but she didn't even make it to Daniel being born, so Isaac and I looked through and found them. Then I spent the next several days putting it all together. It was really fun to look through all these pictures and remember good stories to put in the book. I finally finished it on Thursday night and wrapped it up an put it under the tree. Well it was kinda a joke in my family that we were getting mom a lap top for Christmas so we decided to play along with it. So when Mary and I went out oh Thursday to copy some pictures (after all that snow... we walked because our cars got stuck) we bought mom a handheld video game. We wrapped that up with a note that said "here is your first lap top, when you master this we will get you a real one". Then we had pictures of Daniel's lap top and made a scrap book page that said "here is a picture of your future lap top. We decided it would take you at least ten years to master the game and by that time Daniel will have a new one so you can have his". Then her final present was the scrap book. It was fun! She was surprised by some of the photos I found from her childhood.
Besides the scrap book I went down to camp for a camp reunion. Then one day this week I worked at Mr. Edwards factory helping with a book order. It was interesting. I would not want to do factory work everyday, but I think it was good because it helped me understand the job that many of my future students parents will have.
Well my parents got me some childrens books written by lynne Cheany (the VP's wife) about our history. They are wonderful and I really enjoyed reading them. They sum up our history very well. One is about women in U.S. history. Another is about the country as a whole. Finally her newest book is about Washington crossing the Deleware. Oh and I better mention what mare got me... She got me a wonderful warm scarf that will keep my neck warm as I walk across campus and two books.
Well now I don't know what I am going to do the rest of break... but that is fine. I am not ready to go back to school yet. I am sure I will be soon, but not yet!
Good night everyone
