Done and Done!

Finals are over (for better or worse) and my sister had her beautiful baby girl-- Delilah Marie!

So let me first say how incredibly happy I am for my new niece. The one thing I want for Christmas more than anything is to fly out to MI and to hold that little girl. :(  I won't see her until May or August, hopefully.

Finals weren't bad. I had a presentation on Monday. That went ok. Then my one and only final on Thursday morning at 7am. That test was monstrous, but I only needed a 70% to get an A in the class. I hope I pulled it off. :) Friday I worked a little and fixed the little thing wrong on my hand contoured seismic interpretation. Now I am done! YIPPEE!

That morning I was able to hang with my bestest of friends with only a little bit of school interference on our minds. I have to say that Rachel in particular looked extremely peaceful. Unfortunately, with the school shooting, the day was a bit gloomy. What a tragedy.

Though...I turned to Daniel at one point in the day and said "You know, I don't feel as sad as most people without the Gospel. At least most of them were little children and were not accountable for their sins." Those children will be with our Heavenly Father. Though their Earthly experiences were ripped unfairly from them, they will be in the Celestial Kingdom. I just want to try to see some more of the positive from this terrible tragedy.

We went to see the Hobbit. It was good. The theater we went to was like a furnace for the first half of the movie and they started the movie a good 15 minutes late. And what was with those trailers? The only good one was for the new Star Trek movie. I gagged at the new Stephanie Meyer movie. Why oh why do they keep making movies out of terrible books?!

The Hobbit itself was good. You have to understand going into it that it is not LotR. You also have to understand it is a prequel to the LotR.

I also gave Daniel an early Christmas present. I told him he could open it now or later. I was hinting I wanted him to open it sooner. I think he is glad he did. Now he has time to make the millennium falcon before we head to Washington for Christmas. I have never seen him so excited for a material possession. I know that he has wanted this for years and because of his parents I was able to finally make this possible for him. Thanks Vaun and Margaret!
