Wow, it has been a long time since my last post. I am finally a sophomore! I know that sounds crazy. Next semester we will have an OR rotation. I am dreading it. I just have this horrible picture in my mind that I will contaminate the field or slip and fall or something equally embarrassing.

We had a good Christmas here. We spent the day with just the four of us here at home. It was wonderful not having to stress out about anything at all. The kids played with their new toys all day. My daughter received a new lap top. She kept having to borrow mine to do homework so I figured it was time for her to have her own. The baby has been vacuuming the house non-stop with his new vacuum. I wish they made a toy vacuum that actually worked. My floor would remain spotless! I was able to watch the Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. It was beautiful. It was from Washington D.C.. (Are there two periods there?) I like to be reminded that the Christmas season, Advent, is a celebration of the coming of Christ to this earth. Not only that but of the promise of his death and Resurrection. Hope springs eternal from the lowly birthplace in Betlechem.
