We put up our Christmas tree!  It's real and smells great!  We keep forgetting to water it, so we hope it lasts til Christmas.  We were hoping to go to a christmas tree farm to cut one down, but it was pouring rain on the day we were going, so we opted for good old Calloway's.  Maybe next year.  I love Christmas time, especially when finals are over! 

I'm also really excited because I figured out how to upload pictures for everyone to see!  Like this one:
Last weekend Aria went on the winter retreat with the Northwest Bible junior high ministry.  (I had stupid Saturday clinical.)  They went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine which is a huge indoor water park.  He said that the water park area always stayed at 84 degrees so no one was cold.  There were tons of slides, games, and time to get beat up by junior highers.  He came back with a few scratches from a wrestling match on Saturday morning.  Aria vs. 5 junior high boys.  He won of course.
