Well, I have successfully completed the first week of my last semester on campus. :) I am keeping myself busy as ever but did very little this weekend so it was a nice change of pace. I am absolutely loving not making the drive every other weekend to work (but, I most certainly do miss my wonderful family! :))
Classes shouldn't be too bad at all this semester and I am only taking 12 credits because that's all I really need to take. I'm working lots of hours at the front desk of course and watching Teddy. :) I'm also still VP for Circle K, so there is lots of community service projects to do there. The Hall Director of Chancellor's asked me to be on the RA Selection Committee, so for this week I will be SUPER busy with that.
This weekend Lucas and I prepared a roast in my crockpot that I got for Christmas. It was delicious! :) I did lots of baking too. Banana Bread with chocolate chips... one of Lucas' favorites and some chocolate caramel bars (everyone's favorite!!)

Winter Vacation
My Winter Vacation is sadly, soon ending. What have I done?
In the beginning of break I worked -- A LOT.
I enjoyed 5 separate Christmases with my family and Lucas' family.
The rest of break I also worked.
I got together with String and Jaci for coffee and lunch.
Got together with Jessica several times to reminisce and make scrapbook pages for her Andy Scrapbook. :)
Visited Lucas' mom many times.
Enjoyed a visit from Teddy Bear (more on that another day).
Read a book (Yay- a book read for enjoyment and not out of necessity for school!)
After this week, I'll have one week remaining. You can bet I'll be making the most of it!! :)

Welcome 2009!!
Happy New Year everyone!!
I hope you all had a fun New Year's Eve! Mine was spent at Holly and Gary's with Holly and Gary (obviously), Jake and Morgan, my Lucas, Hannah, Korey, Chris Wirsbinski and a visit from Josh and Jason Wilebski.
I think it would be safe to say a good time was had by all! For some, maybe too good of a time.
So, how did I spend my New Year's Day?
Not really as I would have wanted to... I spent the entire day working... 7am-7pm. So, now I am ready for bed after staying up late last night to ring in the new year.

New Year's Resolutions
Happy New Year to all!
I hope 2008 treated everyone well and here's to 2009 treating you even better! :)
I was never real big into New Year's Resolutions but, I figured I'm always up to a challenge... so, why not?!
So, here are the resolutions. There are several, but some are short term, while others are a bit longer term.
1. Clean my room before I head back to EC in the middle of January. This would not only make my life a little easier... but, it would also make my mom very, very happy! :)
2. Increase my GPA this next semester. It's not the worst, but it could certainly use some improvement!
3. Lose some weight. Last year I lost a little over 45 pounds and since then I've put back on about 5 of those pounds. I would like to lose some more (about 15-20 pounds) and keep it off for 2009! When I head back to Eau Claire I plan on going back to Weight Watchers to help me with this goal.
4. And, here is a fun one! Go on a summer trip with Lucas before we head back to school. We'll be apart for a year again with school starting with Fall Semester of 2009, so we would like to spend some quality time together before school begins. :)
Those are all I have for now... I might think of some more down the road. I should probably work on those for now though! :)

Professional Bowler...
This weekend Lucas and I along with some friends went bowling. Usually, I'm not the world's best bowler, in fact, I'm never the best bowler... but, this weekend something must have gotten in to me, as I rocked the bowling alley (for me, a very average bowler)!! The first game Lucas and I tied with 101 but the second game I got a 149!!!! :) I even have the picture to prove it!

Teddy Bear
This is me and my Teddy Bear. :) He was Blue from Blue's Clues on Halloween, his dad was Steve! Teddy is the son of the Hall Director that I work for here at school. He is 20 months old and for the entire semester and the end of last semester, he comes out to the Front Desk every morning (Monday thru Friday) by 8am and watches Sesame Street with me. Lately, however he has been more into various things on YouTube including: all Beatles music videos (his current favorite is "Yellow Submarine"), Casper the Ghost (an episode with the Three Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf), Elephant (an elephant that paints a picture of an elephant--really!! and also an elephant jumping on a trampoline -- not real) and the usually Elmo/Sesame Street clips. I babysit him twice a week and am just simply attached. One weekend I went home to work and when I came back on Monday, Kirby taught him something new. When asked who is best firend is, he responds: "Heidi". :) It's the cutest thing ever.
