Currently Listening Nancy Wilson Christmas By Nancy Wilson see related

Is just me or have I not updated in a while?? who knows, anyways. School this semester is finished  and I feel great. I have never worked so hard in my entire life, the sad thing is, is that it only gets harder on my end, cause im advancing into the program, so that is good, im still not accepted yet, but im not submitting my portfolio until next fall, so i can make sure i have some good stuff to show off. anyways.

I really feel like that Lord has carried me through this semester in so many ways. There were so many times when the work load was too heavy to take on, but God and his wonderfull presense was there, I could feel him close by and now I have made it, and now it is time for rest, for my brain, body and heart. Thank you Lord.

I am at home now and it's nice, grove really isn't nice, but home is, I love my christmas tree, lights and family of course. Im totally ready to start the celebration. Im kind of a nerd when it comes to Christmas, the week before is spent wrapped up in blanket watching as many christmas movies as possible, sippin on drinks like coffe, egg nog and hot chocolate! I think that this is a good way to get excited. Most people don't like celebrating the holiday, and I think it's because they were never any good at it, but it's never too late. Someday when I have a family, i will do a gret job like my parents did with me, and we we'll celebrate like crazy.

THIS BREAK, I will be returning to my long lost love of writing music. I am determined to graduate with my desing degree and to become a great designer, but music has to be in the mix as well. I am much to passionate about both to not do either. I start writing today until the end of my break (which is three weeks ish long) and I couldn't be more excited. I will be recording my own cd very soon, and this is where is begins (actually i've been trying for a while, but you know). So if you want or feel lead too, think or pray that i would come upon some success during this break, I would apprecaite it very much. Hope everyone is doing great.

also congradulations to brian and whitney gallamore, may your marrige be wonderful and last a life time.

God Bless-cole
