vacation

hey everyone! didja miss me? i know you did.
well, we are back from our honeymoon in not-quite-as-sunny-as-i-hoped florida! notwithstanding the weather, it was a nice break, and we enjoyed ourselves. i guess the hurricane a few weeks ago did quite a bit of damage; we took some pictures of that. actually, we took a ton of pictures, especially braden. he loves that sort of thing; everytime i turned around, he was taking another picture of me. :)

got my grades back...i've managed to keep my gpa the same, so i was happy about that. i really only have one more grade to get next semester.

the professor that was going to look at my case study to discuss an alternate glossary did not shoot it down entirely, so i was thrilled. i was kind of worried that she'd say, this bites, choose another text. but, she did say that i need to focus more on the author's life and experiences more than fibromyalgia itself, which means i need to go through the entire book and pick out different passages to translate. i'm glad i didn't have a ton translated already. it's not really the focus i want, but she's going to be on my committee when i defend, so i really don't have much of a choice about it.

i'm done with christmas shopping as of an hour ago. i basically did it all today, and by that i mean for extended family members. i already had some stuff for braden.

we will be up in cleveland tomorrow for church and to celebrate with the fam up there. in the morning, we'll have our own little christmas, which will be fun.

love and kisses and merry christmas to all!
