Monday was my last day of classes this semester, and on Wednesday, I took my last final. I actually only had 2 finals to take out of my 4 classes. I will know my final grades no later than next Tuesday. I know I did well, but I am not sure if got an A or B in Spanish, so I'll just have to wait to see. I picked up the application for the teaching program I'll be starting in the fall, so I will begin working on that at some point over my Christmas break. I have also registered for the last of my classes at the community college in the Spring. I will have 14 hours again, including an environmental biology class I am really excited about! I will also be taking my first education class, a sociology class and a literature class. As always, I am nervous about the workload, but I will just do my best. I have proven to myself that I can do well if I really put the effort into it and stay focused, so I will just count on God to help me stay that way for one more semester. Once the teaching program starts, I will have only 1 (maybe 2) classes per semester, so I am hopeful it will be less stressful at that time. Maybe I'm naive to think that way, since the 1 or 2 classes I'll be taking will be my "major" classes. They will probably be much more time intensive than the ones I've taken to this point. No use worrying about it now though...
Our family is all feeling better now, too. Jason had a cold Thanksgiving weekend, and the kids were not completely well the week following, and then I got sick the following weekend. We are all well now, though. Thankfully, the cold did not move to my chest, although I did have to use my inhaler more than I'd like. No adverse effects, it seems, so thanks be to God!
Jason's back and neck have been bothering quite a bit lately, but I guess that is just going to be the norm for him now. He never seems to feel really good, but has some better days than others. Please keep him in your prayers. I know he wants to feel good even more than I want him too.
I have gotten a very late start with preparing for Christmas this year. We put our tree up last week, but as far as shopping, until yesterday, I had only gotten one little thing for my baby nephew and niece. I did some online shopping yesterday and got some clothes for the kids. I will have to hurry to get their toys and stocking stuffers done next week since they are out of school after that. Their Christmas break begins the 19th (it is an early release day). I have 2 or 3 more days with a heavy workload at work, and then I will be able to take it easy through the end of the month, which I am super excited about. This is a much needed vacation; I have been running on empty for most of the last month.....

hi robyn! lovely to hear about how your family is doing and i enjoyed your photos of your family trimming your tree in an earlier post.
i'll be starting study next year, so it was really encouraging to hear that you have been able to do it through God's strength.
and i am wondering, did jason have an accident that hurt his back and neck previously? we will keep you all in our prayers!
