Thanksgiving
I absolutely love this time of year! I really enjoy the red trees. So pretty.
I am very grateful for the lack of snow we have. I'm grateful for my family, friends, my great job and employer. I'm grateful for my health, to be alive, a functioning vehicle, a roof over my head, music, the gospel and my testimony. I'm grateful for trials and the lessons that I learn from them, even if it's rough during the process. That's how I have learned some great lessons in life. I'm grateful for the leaders in my ward and Brother McGrath, my home teacher.
I'm looking forward to endless Christmas music and the feeling of Christmas all over! Oh, and let's not forget all my snow men waiting to come out and play. heehee
I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and take some time to ponder all the things you are grateful for, no matter how big or small they may be.

School
So I have decided to go to college. At first I decided to get a two year degree, an A.A.S in General Business. So I went to SFCC to talk with a counselor about the program outline, and he was NOT helpful. I pretty much felt like I was an annoyance to him. He circled a bunch of things on the planning sheet and then handed it to me and said, "This is what you'll need to complete the course." I had also asked him to help me figure out my course if I decided to pursue a Human Resources degree. He didn't even discuss that with me at all. So, thanks to the help of Tammy, I figured out some information about the degree for Human Resources from EWU. So here's the deal.... After some research, I have decided that I am going to get my Bachelors of Arts in Business Administration:Human Resources Management. I feel really good about my decision, and feel that ultimately, this is what I want my degree in. I think it will be the most beneficial for my future career goals as well.
So I called the counseling department of SFCC back, scheduled an appointment with a different person, and will get all my details lined up. I will get my AA from the Falls with a Business emphasis and then transfer to Eastern and finish the program.
I have to admit it is very scary to me to go back to school after 10 years. I am really freaked out about math classes especially. However, I am excited that after being in Management for 10 years, I will get the education to back up my experience and really have a lot to offer future clients and/or bosses.
I will start in January and that will be the end of any sort of social life I may have, but well worth it in the end.

Edward
So, I think Michelle is the only one who hasn't finished Breaking Dawn yet. So, I will still not say anything. But the book was great! AND.... the last page is so worth waiting for.
For those of you who haven't heard, on Stephanie Meyers website, she put up a post about Midnight Sun. This is the Twilight book, but Edward is telling the story, not Bella. At first I was so ticked someone would illegally post the 264 pages because now she says she will not finish the book, at least anytime soon. Then, on Sunday I decided I would just read it anyway. And it is sooooo dang good. It cuts off right before the meadow though! Anyway, I was glued to the computer for about 4 hours. It's the best. I would totally read all the books from his view if she would write them.
Needless to say, being the cynic that I am, I can't help but wonder if this is all a plot to help drive the movie sales. Stephanie says she is pretty sure she knows who leaked the copy, and that she only gave it to people she trusted. So why?.... suddenly is this person going to betray her? Maybe money, who knows.
Plot or not, it's totally worth reading. It has typo's etc. because it was no where near being finished. However, her editors are horrible anyway, and in all her printed books there are grammar and spelling errors. I guess that's why she says she's a story teller not a writer! lol
Hey, whatever works! She tells a dang good story. And I'm sure to read it again and again.
