It's the Saturday that begins Thanksgiving Break and I cannot be happier! The weather is beautiful outside, Andy and I are spending the day together, and all I have is time for the next several days. Having a job that keeps me so busy day and night really makes me cherish our vacations. It's always a chance to relax, unwind, and re-energize. The other beautiful thing about Thanksgiving break is it's a preview to Winter Break, which is always even more extraordinary.
Andy continues to keep busy with school and work. The people he works with really like him, so he's blessed in that way. I've had a rough couple of weeks but things are looking up and I know that I can hang on until Christmas! Spike is doing well too. :-).
We got some amazing news this week regarding Andy's schooling. After working with his amazing academic advisor, he's switching to a BLS degree (bachelor of liberal studies) which is like general studies but you have areas of focus instead of colleges of focus. Anyhow, he found out on Friday that he only needs 6 more credit hours to graduate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He'll only need to take two classes next semester and it is goodbye (and thank you) undergrad degree! I couldn't be more proud and happy for him. He's worked very hard for a long time and deserves for his final semester to be simple and rewarding.
We're planning to host my mom and stepdad for the Thanksgiving holiday. I currently have a 15 lbs (free range/no antibiotics/hormones) turkey awaiting his debut on Thursday. I can't wait to have some family up for a visit.
Fall has been an exciting season! I'll add pictures soon to share all of the cool stuff that's been going on.
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I know live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20
