The weather outside is frightful!!

A frightful 4 degrees if you were wondering! 40+mph winds and gusting.. Windchill is -20.. Beautiful day really!! And lucky ol me, I got to go out in it! I had to work today, yes on a Sunday.

Today was winter commencement at Purdue, and we had our Commencement Reception for our CFS Grads. Since I was in charge of it I had to be there. Which wasn't a problem, but boy did I wish it was warmer outside!!!! The reception went well, people stayed and talked for longer than normal I am told. Probably because they didn't want to go out in the cold! I don't blame them!!

After that I went to Katie's to give her the boys Christmas Presents and her present. I got to make her day and that was totally fun. I didn't stay there for long as they looked pretty tired. I figured as long as I was out, shoot, why not go to Walmart and pick up my medicine and a few things I needed. So off to Walmart I went.

I swear that wind is so strong, if I lose anymore weight I am liable to be blown away!! Its crazy!! So I did my final Christmas shopping and came home and made my final presents and now I am DONE with Christmas shopping!! I just have to mail out Kim and Caca's Presents, and wrap the rest of mine when I get home Weds night and I am set! YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Speaking of Caca, she is ENGAGED!!! AHHHHHHHH!!! I am sooo excited for her!! She texted me Saturday right after it happened. I was talking on the phone to Katie when I got her text, read it and started screaming!!! Poor Katie couldn't figure out what was going on. lol!! SO that totally made my weekend!

And for some other awesome news, my friends Ben and Janet, FINALLY got their adoption referral for their baby boy in Ethiopia!! They got to see his sweet little face!! They will hopefully have him by March! It is so exciting to see answers to prayer. I have been amazing watching God work in their lives and orchestrate them to be parents of this little boy who needs them. I absolutely cannot wait to see him and see this answer to prayer in person!!

SO there is alot to be thankful for this Christmas!

Personally I am thankful for my wonderful job. I can't imgaine being anywhere else, and wonder how I survived those two years at the temple of doom.... I am so blessed here with an awesome, understanding caring boss, and co workers who actually like me!! and treat me with RESPECT and kindness!! Its like a dream and I never want to wake up from it!

JESUS IS COOL!!

I love Jesus & Sephora!!

 I am not a morning person. There are very few things I will get up early for. Friday morning I got up while it was still dark outside. My alarm went off at 6:45 am and let me tell you I have not seen that time for a very very long while! However, something really exciting was happening that morning! Sephora came to Tippecanoe Mall! THATS RIGHT FOLKS SEPHORA!!!!!!!! I love me some Sephora! Yes, it is expensive, but the quality is amazing, and in reality I spend less on Sephora products than trying to find something that works with my wacky skin at the drug store. I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I set my alarm early and ran out the door in a hurry! I got to the mall at 8:02 am. Sephora was opening at 10. I was not the first person there! I was about the 12'th person there and at first we were all smushed into this doorway which was really not comfortable at all. Thankfully the kind people at JcPenney let us inside the store so we could line up outside of Sephor...

Who needs a Knuckle anyway?!

 If you are squeamish and do not like pictures of fingers stitched up, now would be the time to close this post and come back another day!  I put this picture of my struggling get up for my shower first so that no one has to see the stitches if they don't want to. Call me kind :) Also, this get up did not work at keeping my finger dry.  So last night i was opening a box of books, and accidentally opened my knuckle as well. It's funny, it didn't really hurt at the moment. I felt it of course, but it wasn't horrible pain. Blood started gushing and I ran for the bathroom to get some tp on it and bandaids. I do NOT do well with blood and seeing all of it made me a tad bit light headed. I managed to find some gauze and tape and after looking at my finger and noticing that i could see INSIDE my finger and the knuckle skin was WIDE open, I almost passed out. hahahaha.. it was GROSS! I dr'd up my finger and tried to decide if it would heal on it's o...
