I've been a pretty lame blogger lately... But not to much has been happening. I survived finals! Things were pretty hectic between working almost full time and school, but I managed to keep somewhat sane.

I spend a lot of time working aka making bows. For a while I wasn't particularly loving my job with some of the changes that were being made, but lately I have grown to really like slash love it. (I got my own bow maker and clip for christmas so I could make them from home if I wanted to. Thank you santa!) Bow making has become quite fun and I have gotten pretty good at it. Not to mention I have gotten to know the girls I work with pretty well and we have become a tight knit group. I think I will continue to work there over the summer and onto next school year.
Besides work I have been spending the break with these lovely faces...

Tis the season

After Thanksgiving break I was a bit sad to go back to my apartment due to its lack of holiday decorations. It just doesn't feel like christmas if there is no tree, stockings, nativities and lights. Lucky for me my wonderful mother bought me a tree yesterday to put up in my apartment!


After getting the tree all decorated and drinking some hot chocolate, Selina and I were still feeling festive so we made snow flakes to hang from the ceiling.
I love christmas!

The problem continues

This is just one of the cups of dead fruit flies... We have two of these bowls out and three other smaller bowls. They each catch about this number of fruit flies each day... We still can't figure out where they are all coming from!

Our apartment has had a bit of a fruit fly problem ever since we moved in. (very gross) At first we thought possibly it was due to dishes in the sink and the garbage can.... but they stick around no matter how clean we keep things. Now we just blame it on how ghetto our apartment is. Bridgette and Selina finally hit their cracking point yesterday and googled home remedies to get rid of our fruit fly friends. Vinegar and soap.

and juice.

As you can see this one has been successful. Overall though the vinegar has proven to be most successful. Hopefully between these methods and the cold they will die off.

Alex was baptized yesterday. It was an amazing thing to witness and be a part of. I am so happy for him. I love this kid!!!
