Blast from the Past

During the snow days this last week, I was inspired by Laura to break out the old pictures and scanner to upload some pictures to facebook, but I thought I would post a couple of my favorites on here for those of you who don't have facebook (ahem...Amy)...

Ugly Holiday Sweaters...

It's that time of year again! The ugly holdiay sweater contest at my office is upon us! We have several really pretty sweaters this year but the sure winner is the guy who is dressed like Cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation...Robe, Drink, Cigar, Hat, Boots....the whole nine yards! It totally cracks me up! Here is a picture of me in my holiday decor this year...borrowed straight from my mom's closet!!

A little bit crazy....

I have decided that I am a little bit crazy now. As I was planning my school class schedule I discovered that if I take 3 classes and a Lab this quarter and 3 classes next quarter I will actually graduate in May with my Associates in Business. As I looked at all my due dates and such last night, I started to wonder if I took on more than I can chew! There is very few days during the week where I don't have an assignment due, and those other days I will have to spend studying for said assignments. God Bless my husband for his patience as I am trying to finish!
