My sister discovered this great christian T-shirt website, c28.com.  They fit really good they have a long fit on the t shirts and they just are so comfortable.  I like almost all of the shirts.  If you are planning on buying any my advice is that they run smaller than usual. I wear a large and I never usually do. My mom (of course she has to get the same clothes Sarah and I do) I think she ended up finding a size that fit her.  So they have wide variety of consumers. You can get a 10% discount off your first purchase if you type in juliandrive.  It is the name of a band!

What an exhausting week at work I had.  Tim was on Spring Break and it killed me to get out of bed everyday when he was still in there. I made sure to slam cabinets and stomp around though just so he knew I was up. I got to thinking why didn't I become a teacher I mean think about it Christmas Break, Spring Break, Snow days.......I could go on and on.  Don't get me wrong he deserves the break because he works hard but in my next breath I think I work hard too and I certainly to do not get a Spring Break. Oh to be an adult I guess....It is not as cool as it looks when you are a little kid, that's for sure. Let me get off this tangent.

A few more weeks until Fall semester is over and then summer begins! I am only taking one class so I think I will be taking it easier. 

I bought Timmy one of those belts that you have to cross stitch back in the summer he wanted one with all the premiere soccer leagues on it and I worked it for about 2 days before I gave up.  My eyes were going crossed and the lady at the store who was trying to teach me got out this huge kid version of what I should be doing and I couldn't even do that.  I was getting the worst headaches from trying so hard. I should have figured as much when they had me measure one of Tim's belt and I couldn't even do that.  This is something I really wish I could do. Everyone else in my family is so artsy and creative I thought I could be. So I had Lauren Ewing (Kruse) work on it for me until she had her baby. I just picked it up from her house and brought it to the sign of the arrow to have them finish it. Let me just tell you this belt is ending up being like a $300 belt.  First of all it better fit and he better love it. I'll keep you posted.

102% FINALLY!

So those of you me know that when it comes to school I am so type A.  I can not relax unless I have an A.  The big challenge this semester is my pharmacology class.  I feel like the bacteria that cause infections are like a different language.  I basically spell them because I do not know how to pronounce them. So being type A I studied for my first test 25+ hours and I along with everyone else in the class bombed it. I mean it was bad we were all like what the heck just happened.  I of course was devastated followed by sleepless nights worry and wondering if I really was just not smart.  My confidence was shot! Which is pretty pathetic that a school class means so much. I always try and reason with myself..... I mean come on in the grand scheme of life will anyone ever ask me how I did in pharmacology! Anyways besides the point have you ever tried to reason with yourself. Yeah it is impossible.  So anyways back to the point here, I studied for 2 weeks and took off work to study for test #2 (50+ hours later) I took my test last night and got a 102% on it. I am back baby and I am ready to conquer the world of medicine. Whoa Christie  slow down..... The nerd inside me is totally showing...Let me change the subject.

On another note Tick, tock, the days are flying by to when my sissy is leaving for Texas, forever. One fun thing we did myself, her and my mom was take a  retreat together to a bed  and breakfast at Hermann Missouri.  This place is amazing if you guys ever want to get away this is the place. We stayed at the cottages so we bbq'd (steak and crab legs, yeah we do not mess around) and sat in the hot tube, watched chick flicks(with popcorn of course), and when we woke up we sat in the sauna. It was so fun then we spent the next day power shopping at the Warrenton outlet and the Mills mall. Man I covered some ground at the Mills.  I feel like that place is a little slice of heaven except for in heaven that place will be one of my closets.!! HA kidding... well kind of.......ok rambled for long enough oh here is the website for the best treat you could ever give to yourself. My tip is to go on a week night way cheaper.  They make you cookies and ice cream and leave it at your door around 10:00 hmmm......... I love food, food motivates me I forgot sometimes that it really doesnt do much for most people! That's another blog   www.hermannhill.com

BEN IN A BAND

Ok so apparently Rock Band is for adults because all of my siblings played in it for like 3 hours which meant I got Ben all to myself.  Well of course he wanted to be in the band with his daddy.Well since Tommy is a luthier, meaning he makes guitars for a living, Ben is very familiar with them and knew exactly how to hold it and how to hold the microphone and everything.  I am the least musically inclined in the family if you do not believe me ask my Husband (He knows I try) it is quite hilarious he says it sounds like someone is in pain.  I have often thought about how fun it would be to be a ROCKSTAR and just wear cue clothes and stand on stage in front of everyone and dance around and sing. Oh well I can dream. As for Ben there is still hope!!!!

SNOW DAY!!

Well I don't even know if I have seen that much snow come down in one day or if I was too small to remember it. I came home early from work and slipped into some comfy clothes and enjoyed the weather.  I know Ruthie loved it to !!! As far as Tim he shoveled driveways pretty much of the day so he is pretty exhausted.  I picked the only profession that never closes so I never get to have a "snow day" but today was close enough for me.  

Well as many of you know Sarah and Josh are moving to Texas in April. I totally get jipped on this deal.  I always thought I would raise my kids with my sister but I suppose she has to go with her husband.  I guess we will have to visit each other allot. Here is a picture of their beautiful house.

And of course more pictures of Ben he is 20 months old and getting cuter by the day!
