Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanksgiving is just a few short days away and I am no where near ready for Christmas.
Last week I had a Career Development class in Wiesbaden. This time I stayed in the entire week there instead of driving back and forth. I learned last time that I waste too much time on the road. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good night's sleep the entire week. My room was underneath offices and the lady up there loved to walk as loudly as possible in her high heels. One morning there was even a fire alarm. I have to admit. I didn't take it very seriously since I was still lounging in my PJs. I called down to the front desk to inquire if it was real. It was not. I guess if no one had answered the phone I would have gotten out of there. I always wondered if they did fire alarm tests in hotels, now I have my answer.
I have until the 30th to write and send my econ paper. This one is proving to be a bear. Mostly due to time constraints, but where there is a will there is a way.
Jason had some nice alone time with me away. He was able to work on his school work and continue the bonding process with the cat.
Facebook is proving to be detrimental to getting things accomplished around here. Monday night I spent an hour chatting with an old friend from college instead of working on my take home final. However, reconnecting with an old friend was good food for my soul.
Thursday we have been blessed to attend a Thanksgiving feast at a friend's house. I am so glad I do not have to cook this year. To be honest, I don't think I would have the time and it would be just a tv dinner. Jason is happy he gets real food.
I only have a total of two papers to write and I am finished for the semester. Please keep my sanity in your prayers.
I wish everyone a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Getting ready for the season!
We have been extremely busy this past week. Jason has been working and I've been studying. I leave Tuesday for Wiesbaden. I learned from my last trip that it's easier to stay the whole week up there then drive back and forth. Unfortunately, because I am not on orders, I have to play it day by day. But I was able to reserve the weekend no problem. Please pray that they aren't over-booked and I can stay the whole week.
We have started cleaning up the house so we can start decorating for Christmas. Jason is getting anxious to put the tree up and has even offered to shampoo the carpets to help get the house ready. Personally, I really can't imagine having the tree up before Thanksgiving, but it's not too far away, so it will be fine.
We have been invited to attend our friend's Thanksgiving Meal. This is perfect for us. With Jason on mids and me in school I was dreading all the cooking, but now we can both sit back and enjoy.
We are wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving and hope you have many things to be thankful for!

We're a sickly crew....
This week was not our best week. First Jason got extremely sick and even had to miss a day of work. He was so upset. He has not missed a day of work in 10 years. But, it was best that he wasn't getting everyone else at work sick.
However, he did finally learn to share, by sharing his virus with me. So then I had my round of it and now I'm left with just a runny nose and a cough which is normal for me this time of year. I am just grateful that it didn't hold me back from class this week.
This week was my ECON class. All that's left is a paper and it will finally be behind me. I will be so glad when it's all over. I've been studying it since August and I'm about all Econ out.
I have this week off to prepare for my next class, the following week. This time I head back to Wiesbaden. Unfortunately, Jason will have four days off during that time. So he will at least go and spend one day with me up there and then spend the rest back at the house working on his school work. We just seem to stay two ships passing in the night. Luckily all will get better in December. YAY FOR DECEMBER!!!
Jason seems to be plugging right along and is not nearly as stressed out as I am. I don't know how he goes to work and school without being a basket case.
Other than that we are still alive and doing well.
