It's beginning to look a lot like christmas...


WOW!!! This last month has just flown by, leaving me wondering where time has gone and why it has been so long since I last wrote. And now it's almost Christmas time and time will continue to fly by!!! I am going to try to tell you all that has been going on and keeping me away from this poor neglected blog. On Halloween we had "trunk or treat" party at the church and me and my roommate were dancers. Dressing up for Halloween was another first for me. Another new experience for me was my first birthday away from home. I thought this would be one the hardest birthday's ever, but I was quickly proven wrong. It started the day before my birthday when I was told a few girls had walked in the church wanting more info about Master's commission and that I should talk to them about it, I walked in the office and there was my two amazing friends, Leah and Jessica from Michigan!!!! They came to celebrate my birthday with my and I have never been so surprised in my whole life. Anyone who was there can tell you I just stood there in shock and didn't know what to say or do. It was a great surprise!!!! My class also made it a very special day with cards and gifts and cake!!! My family sent me lots of awesome gifts that so blessed me!!! Also, that whole weekend we had a former MC from WA come and teach us dance for the tour we do in the spring. It was all very tiring, and sometimes frustrating but also very fun!!!

A few weeks ago we went to our first Microsoft show to raise money. That was a very good experience for all of us. My favorite part was getting to know the other MC's from all over and getting to hang out with them. Then it was thanksgiving. I went and stayed with a friends and her family for the week here in OKC. We did lots of playing cards, watching movies and football and eating!!! It was lots of fun. I also got to spend a night with my Oklahoma little sister and her family which again was tons of fun. Even though it was hard for me to not be at home with family, I was still able to feel very loved and cared for down here. So thank you everyone!!!

Only about 22 days till I will fly home to spend Christmas with my family. before that we will still have about three weeks of class, Christmas party with the whiz kids we tutor, and the talent show. This is always my favorite time of year and I love getting ready for Christmas!!!! I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to do in my class in the next three weeks as we dive back into this lifestyle!!!!
