Almost There

I just got back from ASU where I was working on the last assignments for my computer class. I did get them done and a few hours before it was no longer December 10th but it feels so good to have another class crossed off the list! I only have two more classes to finish up. One of them all I have to do is go play my violin for a few minutes. Although, it takes several hours of practice to do that well. :) Then I have to film myself teaching for 20 minutes and write a 5-page paper for another class. I will be all done with all of that by Tuesday morning so the end is in sight!

Just like I've almost made it through the semester, Abram's almost made it through boot camp. We had a little concern when he had trouble passing his shooting. He didn't qualify the first two times he tried but I knew it would happen the third time because there was a lot of fasting and praying going on here at home. Those things haven't failed me yet! He called yesterday and said he finally qualifies on Wednesday. Not only did he qualify but his score was pretty good. He had to score 23 and scored 27 this week. Great blessings come to those who wait! :) He finishes up his training next week and will be headed home that Sunday for his two-week break. While we were on the phone yesterday he asked me if we could plan a little get-away for a couple days during that break. He wants to repeat our honeymoon with the same hotel and everything. I guess it was good the first time ;) So while we talked I booked it for a couple days after Christmas.

In work news, Winnie the Pooh is up and running. We opened last week after a long week of rehearsals. It runs through the 23rd so I will stay pretty busy with that on the weekends and the week leading up to Christmas. I've got a couple extra holiday jobs to play next week, too. My work schedule is lighter than in years previous this year. I'm not sure why that is but I'll take it so I can spend time with Abram.

As a quick end note, military health insurance is wonderful. I highly recommend it ;)
