Christmas Cars

*In a Pythonish voice (aka Bicycle Repairman)*
Is it a mouse? Is it a roach? Is it a tarantula (for lack of something better)??
NOOOO!!!!! It's our CARS from Mom.

Everyone joined in the fun times. For Christmas this year, mom got us these ink pens that have little cars (as seen above) in the top of the plastic part of the pen. We made our own ramp and us 4 cousins had a blast. Then pretty much everyone else came down and we all took turns. Grandma was so funny, cause she "accidentally" kept ramping my car into other cars and then she'd giggle like crazy. The tune, "Little old lady from pasadena, go granny go granny go granny go!" seems to fit quite nicely here. ;) It was a very blessed Christmas with lots of good memories made and lots of food demolished. Hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year, as for me, I'm sick of this so I'm just gonna go to Mexico. haha. Yep... Going to see Steph. See you all next year.
God bless!

p.s. oops steph... I guess I ruined THAT surprise (about the cars). ;)

Long Enough

Well, I realized... from the prompting of my sister, that it has been long enough since last I posted. The reason, I must inform you all, is clear. My life is placid. Right now there hasn't been a whole lot going on. Except for of course my awesome "hunting" experience the other night. But without pictures, it really is nothing. So enough about nothing. I have been helping dad out over the past week since I got home and it was good times. I finally learned how to drive (and yes tif I realize you "taught" me) a stick shift truck. Never mind that I kept killing it, because although dad made fun of me, which is hard to believe I know, I can almost guarantee if someone of more experience had of been driving in the ditch like I was and had to continuously stop to wait for the old guy aka dad, to throw the posts in the back of the truck, YOU would have killed it too. Especially being new on the job. But enough justification. I will persevere. But now it is time to go since I am to pack the meat and cheese in the bag thing... :) I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and I will try to post more next week. God bless you all!

Parties, studies, and interferons

Christmas parties with the lovely Kansas ladies is always a good time. Last night we had our Christmas gift exchange and party. Good times were had by all. However, my grade for my presentation I'm giving today might suffer a little... never mind that I could have done it all semester but chose last night to do it, yes procrastination is my middle name. Anyway, it got done and I'm giving it in front of my class today. At 2:30, Kristen and I are going to Kansas City to pick up the helpers for Kiowa caroling... all (what Tif 28?) of them. haha...it should be fun. Props to those *unnamed* travelers who missed their early flight and making it easier for all concerned. ;)
Today in my physiology class (last one of the semester), we were discussing the immune system. One of the immune cells that we discussed was an interferon. One of the roles this cell has is that when it becomes infected by a virus or bacterium, it sends signals to the other cells to guard themselves so that the bacteria/or virus won't spread. Taking some pointers from these interferons would do us all some good. We need to show others how we were once contaminated by sin and were dying, and then Christ cured us by giving us new life in Him. Hope you all have a blessed weekend.
