This is my first week that I haven’t had a class in a semester and it is feeling pretty good. I took my last test in microbiology last Tuesday and I was sure that I failed the class. I was almost ready to rethink my major when I looked at my grades and saw that I made a B. I have no earthly idea how I pulled it off but I did. I still think that she added wrong or something. (Wouldn’t be surprised at all coming from that teacher) I am so happy that it is over. I just have to take a few more classes and I can apply for nursing school and hopefully finish up in about 4 semesters (that sounded shorter than two years).

These are some photos I took of the windmill farm that is on the other side of Stanton. I admit the photos aren’t very good but these farms are massive. There was probably at least 300 windmills in this one farm and there are several farms between Midland and Abilene. Next time we go by I am going to make sure I have our big camera to take a closer and better photo.

For everyone who didn’t know SATURDAY was St. Patrick’s Day. Not today. We looked on the almighty internet and found out that since today is a Holy Day that they moved St. Patrick’s Day to Saturday. Anyway, we decided at the last minute on Friday that we wanted to have a St. Patrick’s Day party. So I went to Target and picked up all kinds of green decorations and hats and desserts and planned a party. It turned out great. We played rock band most of the night and the boys watched Boondock Saints. (I went to bed, I don’t like that movie) It was a great evening.

I took our camera to youth group on Wednesday night to play with it a little bit and got some great shots. Some of them were a little blurry because it is hard for me to hold that big camera still without a flash. But all in all I did get some good photos. I really like the ones of the instruments. The colors looked really cool on them. The ones of Matt and Parker could have been better but I really like how they look. The kids on the praise team had a great set list and it was cool to take photos of them in action.

So, everyone is asking what I got for Valentine’s Day. Jewelry? Clothes? Nope! We both got each other iphones this year and I have to say that is is one of my favorite gifts. I love it. It can keep up with my calendar (which now that I am married has cleared out much more than when we weren’t married, hmmm), hold my music and take photos. These two photos of the flowers were taken with my iphone. Not bad huh? A little blurry but otherwise I’m really impressed. Anyway, if you live here in Midland we will be cooking a Valentines dinner at the church for everyone. We would love for you to come and eat with us. If you don’t live here in town don’t worry I will take lots of photos and post them as soon as I can.
