Nathan's Blog: 5 More Days!

We are very excited that there are only five more days til we get to fly back to Idaho! We are also dreading flying with Kayla. She does not sit still for anything. We are trying to come up with ways of keeping her happy and confined. It's not that hard to keep her happy, as long as we can let her move around. That may be difficult on the plane. Pray for us!

I just have one more final tomorrow. It's in Biochemistry. Nothing like saving the worst for last. It is the test that I am the most worried about. I have studied a lot for it. Hopefully I studied for the right things. After that we have the rest of the week to clean the house and get ready for our trip. I think we're going to try to squeeze in a trip to the beach too. It might be a bit chilly to get in the water, but walking on the beach will be fun.

It is such a relief to have (almost) one semester behind us. This past week was pretty stressful. I had three finals, all of which were pretty difficult. I did pretty well on all of them. It will be nice to have a few weeks without studying. It will be even nicer to have several babysitters who will be eager to watch the girls for us. Katie and I are going to be going on several dates over the next few weeks. We also have to finish up our Christmas shopping. We didn't want to get too many things that we would have to pack and take across the country.

I took Adella to the library yesterday. She had really been wanting to go, but Kayla was asleep, then it was getting close to dinner time. We normally all go together, but Katie said to just take Adella. Kayla was really sad that she didn't get to go. I guess she was pretty cranky the whole time. As soon as Adella and I got home she was really happy. It wasn't me that she was happy to see, it was Adella. Adella started playing with her and she was loving it! It is so fun to see them playing together!
