typical family photo

christmas time is here

Today was our annual family Christmas photo session ... and this year we decided to try something a little bit different. I don't want to tell you too much because I can't afford to ruin the surprise, but I will tell you that the photo involved costumes - and that is always funny. I hope to post it later this evening (after my dad adds the finishing touches).

In the meantime, I bring you another funny photo of Robbie and me. We were so inspired after dressing up this afternoon, that we tried on a few more costumes when we got home. This is the result ...

you know you've been studying too much when ...

... your dog is exhausted from staying up late each night with you
... every flat surface in your room is covered in stacks of books
... no amount of makeup seems to "hide" the large bags under your eyes
... a "party" is two girlfriends, three laptops and a night of studying
... you set three alarms, but in the morning you wake up to none of them
... your desk chair and bed have bum imprints from long hours of sitting
... you put your highlighter in your purse without the cap
(after a long night of reading) and therefore stain it bright yellow
... you take "you tube" video breaks every couple hours
... you laugh out loud at boring articles while sitting alone in your room
... you and your local Starbucks barista compare recent essay titles and hours slept (or not slept) during finals week
... you write lists about studying, rather than actually studying

what's up dawg?

i am rejoicing

So . . . I had a MASSIVE final project due last night for my Bible class. The project makes up 1/3 of my final grade (scary!). I have been working on the project for a long while, but have not been able to complete the work in time. I was planning to work on it all night tonight and again tomorrow night and then turn it in a couple days late (with a significant point reduction).

But, I prayed like crazy for supernatural grace and I just received an email this evening from my teacher who has decided to extend our due date . . . we now have until Monday to complete the project! WOO HOO!!! I was SO excited when I read the email that I yelled "YES!" about 100 times and danced uncontrollably around my house. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
