It has been about a month since I last updated the blog! Did everyone have a good Christmas and New Years? Like I said in the last blog Dustin and I stayed in Orlando and his mom came down for a couple days. It was fun to have her with us for Christmas. We celebrated the New Years by having some friends over! Ate lots of great food and just overall enjoyed having company!
My SeaWorld job ended as of Dec. 31, it was seasonal only so I am once again jobless and on the hunt! I am looking for some part time that will work with my school schedule. Beginning of January had me really looking forward to starting school! Unfortunately I wasn't able to start on the original date of January 11 because there were not enough people to start the class. I was informed they need 8 people to start and they were pushing the start date back to January 25th! Back in October I had booked a flight back to Iowa for Jan 22-29...was a little considered that I would missing my first week of class, although I would only be missing orientation. I decided since I was starting school when I was suppose I called and got an earlier flight and made it back to Iowa on the 18th and will be staying til the 29th!! To say the least I was way excited! A couple days ago I heard from the admissions gal and got great news! She got the go ahead to start classes and will be starting on Feb. 1st!! Which is perfect since I will be in Orlando on the 29th. I can not wait to start school and meet new people! Can't wait to blog about how my first week goes!
Today is Saturday and I am being a little lazy waiting for my best friend Caitlin to get here from Kansas City! I have had a whirl-wind week! Got in Monday night, both mom and dad picked me up! Incredibly good to see them! Tuesday afternoon went to go see some family with my dad and Tuesday night when into Ames to see my 2 best friends from Ames, Sarah and Jeni. Jeni has been in Rome for the past 4 months...it was AWESOME to see her! Wednesday we got really bad ice and I was stuck at home most of the day with both mom and dad! Haven't had a snow day with both my parents since I was in elementary school! To say the least I was going a little stir crazy(sorry mom, you know I love you) Later the afternoon roads seemed to just be wet and I made into Ames to meet up with Jeni and later Sarah and went out with them to Olde Main for $1 pint night! Thursday morning had an eye appt. and from there went to Waterloo to see Meghan and Luke! Meghan was able to get the afternoon off of work:) They will be coming again on Sunday and staying thru Tuesday. We should be able to get some great family time in there!! Friday had me going to Ankeny to see my old boss for lunch and another good friend Kelly, from church, after that! And I still have another week of a full schedule just like this! Whew! Soo the weather is WAY to cold for me...and I keep complaining and Mom keeps calling me a whimp! It's like I have never left. HA!
Hope everyone else is keeping warmer then me;) Look forward to blogging about school in a couple weeks!!
