I finally saw it! So we're driving back from the Zoo, and I saw it, THE car for me. :) The even weirder thing is that Kristen and I actually saw a car in zebra print a couple days before this SUV, but it was too quick for a picture. What are the odds of seeing two vehicles like that in one week? It must be meant to be.

I LOVE holiday cards. They are so fun! I finally did Berto and mine today. I am so excited that for our 3rd Christmas together we FINALLY get to actually spend Christmas eve/morning together. He's spending it with my family, because their family Christmas isn't until two days later. I'm so excited! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. :) Oh and by the way, my cards are MUCH better quality actually printed out!

Hello! I updated my blog, and updated my album. It's too much trouble to post all the pictures on here, so my blog is http://heightofmyheelsphotography.blogspot.com, and you can view my latest updated album at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2600113&l=3e4bc&id=8357415. I did pictures of Enrique and Bekah this past weekend, and some more of Julia and Trevor last weekend if you haven't seen those. Fun stuff! More fun things to come. :)

So, I’m sitting here in the student center at SAC playing on my laptop, and drinking a coffee from Starbucks equipped with super fun Christmas décor, and I suddenly realize I have been humming a Christmas song out loud. I know it’s a student center, but the section I am sitting in has a whole bunch of laptop freaks all along the “bar.” It’s for laptops, so there are lots of handy plugs. Anyway, people over here are generally quiet and use headphones plugged into their laptops. Well excuse me for trying to spread some Christmas cheer!
So I’m drinking my beautifully decorated Christmas Starbucks drink, and chuckling to myself as I flip through some pictures online, and in my happiness I begin to hum “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, and at this point I am completely engulfed in myself and then I realize that FIVE people are staring at me with their beady little eyes, and their headphones and laptops. I looked to the left, I looked to the right, and I said, “Oh, I’m sorry, I thought it was that time of the year; just trying to spread some joy.” Okay, check this, FOUR of the five people looked at me, packed their stuff, and left.
I think that’s the end of my Christmas performances, no more Christmas concerts for me except for the car and the shower. Lol. But, geez, talk about Christmas scrooges!
UPDATE: My faith in the American people has been restored! I was at the post office sending a package, and I walked up to the desk, set my coffee down, and said, "I need to mail this package." The man said, "Okay, and cute Christmas cup by the way, I love those Holiday Starbucks cups." I smiled and said, "It is isn't it? Finally, someone who understands." THEN as he was listing all the things...You know, is it fragile, do you need insurance, do you need delivery confirmation, etc. I said, no, no, no, no, no, and then he SUNG, "Do you need a partridge in a pear tree?" I said, "YES, I'LL TAKE THAT!" :)

So, most of you know that I am finishing my Bachelors in Psychology this February. If that seems weird to you, it’s because it is! Wayland is on a quarter system instead of a semester system. I’m already in my last semester; it started a few weeks ago. We have a winter term which is what started a couple weeks ago , and that ends in February, and the spring term starts at the end of February and goes through May. It’s slightly off from the semester systems. Anyway, I think I have told most people that I’m planning to go right into my masters in counseling this spring at Wayland, which would start at the end of this February of 2009.
The only sad thing is that I don’t get to have my Graduation Ceremony until June 26th. Wayland only has two graduations a year, because it’s just not big enough to do four. I’ll be completely done with my Bachelors and finishing my first semester of Graduate School when I finally get to walk! Oh well, it will still be fun. I expect all my special family to be there. Jk. I understand if you can’t. It’s June 26 at 11:00am though. Mark that down!
Okay, on to the big news. I’M ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I’m JUST KIDDING. Seriously, that never get’s old. I’m pretty sure when I really do get engaged no one will believe me. ;) No, no, no, it’s nothing as life altering as that, but I have added something to my plate and I’m really excited about it! I’ve told most people that I recently became a Substitute for New Braunfels ISD, but if you didn’t know, than you do now! But, I’ve been thinking about how I’ll be 23 in February, and my Graduate School Degree happens to be one of the longer ones. It’s not 36 hours, its 49, plus you have to do 3,000 intern hours AFTER graduation.
Well, becoming an LPC is still my ultimate goal, but I’ve decided that I have to LIVE in the meantime. So, I will be taking a test on January 31, and going into the Alternative Teaching program. The program I am doing will start in January and end in February. So it will end right before Graduate School starts which is perfect! So, I’ll be finishing up my last semester of my Bachelors while I do the Alternative Program. We meet about 10 times for a big chunk of the day. Anyway, the key is the test, I HAVE to pass the content test on January 31, and I’m a go!
I know this is getting confusing, but just hang on! So after A LOT of thought I have chosen Special Education EC-12. After looking over the study review for the test, most of the stuff I have learned in Psychology and it’s just a matter of brushing up on it. So, that’s exciting! Special Education teachers are under the Critical Needs list in every district around my area, maybe other area’s as well, so the jobs for that are all over the place. The main thing is passing that test. If I can pass it, I’m pretty much guaranteed a job this August. BUT passing it is a MUST, and it’s $120.00, so I don’t want to take that lightly! The more I’ve looked into it, the more I’m thinking Special Education is a GREAT choice for me. You might have to know me well to understand that though. Plus it ranges from Early Childhood (EC) through 12th grade (12).
So everyone pray that I pass that test! It would be perfect for me, and I’d finally have my first “real” people job. I will continue my master’s but will have to slow it down during the school year IF this all works out. BUT, by this August I’ll already have 18 hours of Graduate School. I’m doing 9 this spring, and 9 in the summer. So that’s a good start going into a “real” job. Anyway, I have to study myself to death for this test on January 31st, and finish off my last 12 hours of my bachelors right now. So, I will be a busy, busy bee! I love it though. It’s amazing how things have fallen into place lately with all of this. It always makes you wonder if God is working something.
