Below Zero

I began school this past Monday on the 12th. It has been below zero for about three days this week. Our school remained open, and all the students still filled the seats of my classes. Just another frigid day here. You know its cold when you spill some hot chocolate and it freezes in droplets. brrr. I have ranked my classes in order of my favorite to my least favorite now in my mind for the semester. I really like my chemistry class, I kind of like my bio class, I sort of like my research psy. class, and I guess I like my abnormal psy class. I will be able to see more into it later.

Nolan Anthony

My Uncle Nolan Anthony passed away this morning. I'm sure Nola at Alamo North is very busy right now, as it was her father that passed. I'm sending her my prayers and thoughts. Her father was a great man. He was a strong, stable, patient, and always kind. Not only did he put his heart into everything he did, protect the country with his service, raise a beautiful family, hold a lifelong commitment with his wife Betty, he did it all with little or no complaints. At least I never heard one. He is now with his wife Betty who was awaiting his visit in heaven. May he rest in peace and may his memory remain present and strong in our family. All my love to you Nola. I wish I could be there, I will be in my first day of class when his service is held, but my heart and mind will be with you and the family. This picture I added is the last picture I was able to take with Aunt Betty (in red) and Uncle Nolan (on the far left side) before they passed away. Unfortunately, it was in the year 2006 during my last visit to Texas for Christmas.

The first little snowman...

Well here it is the first snowman of the season! Maria and I could not help but take time out from studying to build a snowman. It should snow more this week. Let me tell you it sure is not easy to drive in. But I guess It is good practice, after living here in the city I will be able to drive anywhere through anything. :). I hope you all like our snowman. It is the first one I have ever made in my life and I wanted to share it with you.

Where have all the streets gone?

Hello,
I woke up this morning and noticed my city has lost its streets. Thought I would share it with you, before the salt shakers come and find it. Hope everyone is well.

December 1st

We had pictures done... but we are still waiting on our order to come in....here is a sneak peak.

This is currently my view today. The snow is sticking to the ground now. It is beginning to feel like Christmas. Now where is my Christmas break again??

I woke up and ventured into the cold and traveled one hour to sit down in a lecture of information I have heard before for 50 mins. Only to spend another hour coming back home right after. I guess that is a Monday for you. This picture, I took walking out of my lecture today.

Well, that's all for right now, wish I could package up some powdered snow and send it to everyone, trust me you don't want the slush.

Only two more weeks of school, then finals, then Christmas break. Yeah. This morning there was a little snow on the ground but not enough for good pictures yet. Meme bought me a super warm winter coat and I was not cold at all today. I was actually a little too warm in it. Which is super! :) I'm home now...eating lunch and for those of you who haven't eaten a grapple....you have to find where they sell them and eat one. They are so good...well I think they are. They look like apples, but they have the flavor of a grape. They are really firm and sweet small size apples called grapples. Thanksgiving morning we are going to try to make it to the downtown parade...so if we go I will take the camera and add a few pictures. I like the family blog, Nola. Good idea. I miss everyone in TX. Hope every one's Thanksgiving is fantastic.

By the way, Wicked was awesome!! It was such a good musical... I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
