Christmas was wonderful. I had a great couple days spending time at Grandmas and at mom and dads. Got to see some relatives and cute little cousins. On Christmas morning at Mom and Dads was fun. We all sat around in our pj's and opened presents. I got want I wanted, a new suitcase that could be carry on luggage, and some other fun things. Justin had to fly out the next morning at 6am and I also had to work at that time so we had to leave Christmas evening. Justin got to the airport on time and I got to work on time...always good. Now I knew that the day after Christmas thing was big for bargain shoppers but I was not prepared for what I was about to see. The store opened up at 7am, at 6:30 people started gathering around the door. By 7, there was a crowd so large that it stretched into the parking lot. When the door opened, people ran into the store, grabbed a cart and either ran to the back seasonal area or the mini seasonal area up front. People were so frantic to get to their precious 50% off items that they wouldn't look where they were going, some guy almost mowed me over with his cart. They all had this crazed look in their eyes. When I walked to the back of the store there was this huge wall of people were seasonal should have been. People were just grabbing and throwing stuff into the carts, some people had two carts. After about two hours, I started finding piles of stuff that people had put in their carts then decided not to take, so they just either layed it on the floor or on some shelf. Since this day was a Sunday, all Fargo business's can't open until noon, so not only were we getting the regular crazies, we were getting the Fargo one's also.
Ugh, that was a horrid day. By the end of the day I was totally wiped out and I had a huge headache. I'm just glad I didn't close and have to pick up after everybody.

Merry Christmas
Well to everyone out there Merry Christmas, I know it is still a few days away but I will be at Mom and Dads and the have dail up and I hate waiting on that slow connection. Justin and I are giving eachother our presents tomarow morning, then leaving to go to Grandmas and Grandpas for the rest of the day as that is where most of mom's side of the fam will be. Then we'll go to mom and dads and stay the night, have a fun Christmas then go home late after noon/early evening because Justin's flight to Chicago leaves at 6am the next morn so he'll have to be at the airport at 5, then I work at 6am. I think Justin comes home the 2nd or 3rd, I leave for Seattle on the 29th and will be back on the 9th.
In other news, today I took my GRE's. I'm afraid to say what I got on the two sections that are recorded right away because I don't remember what the highest score is. One the two writing components I think I did allright. I dont think I did so hot on the analytical one but I did well (I think at least) on the other.
Well must run to the grocery store before Justin gets home, we're having hamburgers..yum.
Take care, be safe and have a wonderful Christmas!

Updates
Well now, I haven't been ableto post for quite some time due to finals/stress. So here is what has been going on.
Last sunday was Justin holiday party at the Home Depot. These parties are always held in the recieving area because that is were the most open space is, however it was freezing cold in there so everyone was bundled up in thier jackets. They had food, which was awsome. Every employee that was at the party also got a gift, we got a family size griddle, which is awsome except we already had two from our wedding..I just didn't think we'd need 3 griddles. Thankfully all the gifts came with gift reciepts so I returned it today and I bought the extended edition of LORT Return of the King.
I finally got my personallized plates in the mail yesterday after months of waiting. Man that was a hassle, so tomarrow after work I'll slap them on and she'll look beautiful.
Today was my last final, Hurray! Tomarrow we're turning in our field papers. It's so awsome being done for the semester. Just one left and I'll have a degree in Geosciences, pretty sweet.

Almost done
Whew, December 1st already! This semester is just flying by, only a week and a half left of regular classes for me, hurray! Then a nice winter break, can't wait. It's nice to know that there is and actual light to the end of the tunnel. I can see it finally.
I finally signed up for the GRE's, Dec 23 at 9am, this way school will be out so i will have time to actually study the book we bought for the test. I heard it's really hard and pretty much impossible to study for, the books basically prepare you for the layout of the test and the general types of questions.
Can anyone tell me how to post links on the side of my blog? I see lots of people have that, and I would like have some links, so any help would be fantastic.
