Alright, alright...I'll post something.

I apologize to my faithful blog readers...I know there hasn't been a new post in quite awhile, and I am on holidays so i really have no excuse! In all honesty, i've been lazy...and haven't felt like writing anything, mostly because there's not much to write about. But here it goes anyways!!

Here is what I've been up to lately, in no particular order:

1. I finished school for the semester at the beginning of December and had no exams, so i am currently enjoying my Christmas holidays, being lazy and not doing much of anything!!

2. Me, Brier & Shawn (my married friends who are home for awhile from Thunder Bay), hung out with our friend Melissa from Capernwray!! We hadn't seen each other since B&S's wedding, so about 2 years ago. We had a great time, had some good laughs and shared some funny memories.



3. I babysat Claire this past weekend. I wanted to take her out in the snow and make snow angels with her...but I decided against that because she had a cold, and maybe she's still too little to do that. But, she's still as cute as ever...here are some pics to remind you.

4. I found out my next placement for school. Next semester I'll be working on an oncology/complex general medicine unit. I'm very excited for this placement b/c it was my first choice. It will probably be a hard/challenging placement though because most people will have cancer, but I know there will be a lot to learn. The only downside is that the hospital is over an hour drive away...so i'll have some very early mornings!!

5. I've been thinking about going to Romania after I graduate to work in an orphanage. This has been on my heart and mind for many years and I'm excited to actually be able to have the time to do it. I'm very excited about this possibility and pray that everything will work out.

Here's what I'll be up to over the next few days:

1. Tomorrow night I have a Christmas dinner party to go to...complete with a $10 gift exchange which I still have not purchased...that's what I'll be doing tomorrow during the day.

2. Wednesday is Mom's birthday (the big 54!!) Corrie and Claire are coming for the day and we're all going out for lunch.

3. Then I'll be heading back to Kitchener with Corrie and Claire to spend the rest of the week there, keeping Corrie company and playing with Claire!!

And, I think that's all for now. I'm getting a cold and don't really feel the greatest right now...so i'm going to have some tea and head to bed.
