Now What?

Well, I don't really know what to do with myself for the next few weeks. I had my last final last Thursday, and I only work until this Wednesday. So, I have off until January 4th. It will be nice to relax and just do nothing, but then I get bored too easily. Unfortunately, I won't be too bored, because Come January 11th, I have a 5-day long class from 8am-5pm everyday! It's on ethics in school counseling. To top it all off, I have a test at 8am on the first day! This means, that I have to do a lot of reading over the Christmas break, so I guess it's good that I will have all that free time. Now I just have to have motivate myself to do the reading. We will see how that goes. Christmas is only a few days away, so that's exciting! I just love the time to relax with family, eat good food, and celebrate Jesus' birth!

As Jenine mentioned in the last post, my parents are moving back to the States. For those of you who don't know, my parents moved to Shanghai, China a few weeks after our wedding. My dad was working for a pharmaceutical company over there. For several financial reasons, he wasn't getting paid his full promised salary and their house in the states still hasn't sold so they're payint that mortgage and renting over there, he has decided that it's time they move back home. He does not have a job lined up yet, although he does have several resumes out, so that is a huge prayer request for them. It will be good to have them back home, as it will be nice to be able to just call them instead of email/skype occasionally.

That's all my news for now. I pray that God blesses you all this wonderful Christmas season.
