ANXIETY: Last Tuesday Ben took his final. For a little explanation, this final makes up 45% of his final grade and it is comprehensive. Ben felt like it was hard, but he'd done all he could possibly do and studied as hard and long as he possibly could.
RELIEF: Once the final was over I got my husband back! Chase is able to enjoy all the time in the world with his dad. We have had time to relax and just enjoy being together as a family. We haven't been able to do that since August. It has been lovely.
SADNESS: I hate saying good bye. Really, really dislike it. My dear friend Ann and her little family have completed their time here on the island. Ann has been my saving grace here many times and I've been dreading her leaving. On Friday I said good bye to this amazing woman and her cute little family. I was so sad.
SURPRISE: Later Friday night Ann's husband showed up at our door during dinner. They missed their flight- which is sad and frustrating for them- but so exciting for us! They needed a place to stay, so we put them up at our little place. It was a blast. We had a weekend long party! I think Heavenly Father knew that I just needed a little more time with my friend:) It was a nice little early Christmas present.
MORE ANXIETY: Still waiting for grades to come out.
PEACE: I love the Christmas season! I've had a few opportunities to study about the Savior during this season and it fills me with peace, hope and love for my Savior.
Here are some darling pictures of Chase with Ann's little one Alise. Alise is two months younger than Chase and they are such great buddies. They crawl around after each other, have to eat whenever the other one is eating, steal each other's food (well, mostly just Chase steals Alise's food- we're working on his manners) and sometimes will just sit and smile at each other. I think they might be soul mates.
Those pictures are too cute; they'll be so fun for Chase and Alise to look back on someday :). And I hope your anxiety comes to an end (a good end!) tomorrow!!
