Oh happy day!

I am having a fantastic day. Right now Jared is taking his last final, then he is completely done with college. This is a big milestone for us. We have been married almost 6 1/2 years and this will be the first time that Jared will only be gone 40 hours a week then come home. From the beginning he has either had 2 jobs or full time school and full time work (including periods were he had 2 jobs and full time school.) I am very thankful that we will have a bigger bank account, too. I am grateful for the past 6 years. It is good to work hard. It makes us much more appreciative of what we are about to have. Jared is really enjoying his job at Ameritrade. Everyday is different, everyday a challenge. Tonight we are going out on a date to to the stockyards celebrate-barbecue, country western music, and dancing. It is the Ameritrade Christmas party. My sister is watching the kids overnight.

I hadn't really gotten into the Christmas spirit until yesterday. Things have been very busy. The kids and I had breakfast with Santa this morning. Brooke and I made a Christmas centerpiece for the table. It is a basket with red bow, pinecones, holly, and other decorations. She had her winter party at school yesterday and had a lot of fun. Bryan was sharp. He told Santa he wanted a puzzle and candy cane, because thats what he was giving out. The poor Christmas tree has been decorated and undecorated 5 or 6 times, tripped over, and knocked down 2 or 3 times. We think it is pretty funny. It just wouln't be Christmas if the tree wasn't destroyed over and over. Merry Christmas everyone.

By the way, I got called to be assistant Primary secretary. The primary has over 100 children and they needed more help. The nursery alone has over 40.
