This weekend I had the chance to go up north from about Friday evening till well...about 7:00 this morning. As much as I wished that it would have been a vacation, it was more of a study retreat. While everyone did the various stuff- shopping, go into town to see a movie, sightseeing, I stayed and studied. Joy to the world...

We (meaning my mom, Sar Bear, and her best friend Brooke) headed up Friday evening as I said previously. We all brought along tons of luggage and enough germs to bring back the bubonic plague. Mom had a pretty nasty cold, Sarah had just got over a fever, Brooke just recovered from Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and the Flu, and I had was home sick from work because I stayed up all night with stomach issues. Plumbing issues as my dad calls them. All in all the health of the group was overwhelming.

Half way to the cabin, we stopped at Bronner's. It is one of the biggest Christmas stores. We took a gander at all decorations. The Grinch that writes this blog really enjoyed herself despite the unsettleness in her stomach and the fact she likes Christmas to stay at Christmas time. I cannot wait to own a home where I can decorate it with stuff like that. I found this beautiful music box playing this most amazing music. I fell in love with it. It was this large honker of thing but it was just beautiful! I asked how much it was and to my astonishment, it was $13,000 buckaroos! I vowed when I come into tons of money, I'm going to go buy it. It's just one of those weird expensive things people want.

A few days later...

I thought I posted about the trip already but upon checking it, I realized I had not. So now a few days later, here I am, updating my update. Anywhoo, after Bronner's we headed up to the cabin. I also failed to mention that Uncle Kerry and Aunt Deda own this cabin up in the woods. Since the patriarchs of our two families have been best friends since eigth grade, we go up to cabin quite frequently. Well...we is the interesting word, I maybe get a chance to get away about once or twice a year. Which is truly great but being that my family was up there five times before my first time this past year, it's sad. It's tough being an adult. ; )

We arrived at the cabin a little after eleven o'clock. We put in Kung Fu Panda but since we all were not top notch healthy, we all fell asleep before the ending. Uncle Kerry and Aunt Deda, after dropping off Katey Bug, at Lake Ann for the Winter Advance, arrived at 3am. The next day was full of lazy souls...mainly me, procastinating against productivity and homework.

However, sicne it was VDay, I decided to take a romantic walk with the love of my life, God. I walked for three miles which equaled about two hours and a half. I brought along Gracey, the Weishaupt's dog. I prayed out loud since no one was around, I sang various songs even made up some too. It truly was awesome and needed.

After Saturday, I studied. Studying, studying, studying...did I mention I studied? By Monday night my brain was crammed about various ways to study children and methods. I studied for a bit on the way home. I took my two tests when we got home and they went extremely well. I got a 90% on one. : ) The other one, which I was more confident about then the other, I pretty sure I got an 100%. That excited my soul so much and has me motivated to keep studying. So with that said, I am going to get to that. : )

Pictures of the trip will be posted soon.
