Happy New Years and all that jazz...

Unfortunately I don't have a photo to put up, but that's ok, no photo this time. Ha Ha Ha! Anyways, a few very exciting things have happened. My family got to go to Minnesota to visit some relatives on the second day of Christmas. My Dad's cousin Doug showed us some really neat American and Germany uniforms. Mainly German from WWII. I have a heightened interest in WWII. Doug also let us borrow "Band of Brothers", which is an amazing mini series that I highly recommend anyone, at least anyone able to hande the violence. It is of war folks, and with war comes violence. We also got to see Doug's family and my Grandma's sister (Doug's mother). That was real good.

Also it is a New Year! It is sure to be filled with many more blessings from God. This last calendar year was really good, with some tough times, but we get through them and keep on going. Now if that doesn't sound stereotypical new years! I celebrated the ushering in of the new year with my family at home. We even forgot to watch the ball drop in New York. Rather we forgot until about 5 minutes afterwards and then we turned on the TV and said "rats, we missed the ball drop!"

Now I am back at school and tired, for I had a 7 hour drive today. Tomorrow I start a class, band and I also have choir this week sometime. Which means back to work work work. The good news is that I have band tour during this Winterim (three week term in January). We are going to Washington and Oregon, so that will be exciting. I have never been there before. The new semester starts on the the 23rd I believe and I will be mighty busy in that time. Though these next two weeks shall be busy as well, trying to fit a semester class into that time, but it shouldn't be too bad, as that is about all I am doing.

Anyways, I hope the ushering in of the new year went smoothly for you all and God's Blessings in all you do!
