Well I'm feeling much better we had our Thanksgiving yesterday which was lovely. I'm feeling a lot better than what I was, I wasn't pleased that I was sick especially with a holiday an all. The latest news here is that we are having our first snow storm of winter, our local town has reported about 14 inches of snow. We have about 9 inches right now. Our area is getting snow really early this year, we normally get snow in late December or early January. All classes are canceled tomorrow, so no college, well here is a pic of our winter-wonderland.

I think the snow looked so pretty resting on the evergreen trees.

The snow on the trees look so pretty, this picture looks like something out of Narnia.

Well I guess the day couldn't suck as much as it does now! Apparently I'm sick, I have strep thoat, which is BS. Always freaking happens to me on a holiday, apparently everyone thinks I'm that contagious that Thanksgiving has been cancelled for the family. What the hell? I'm not on my death bed people, I can still have fun! So now I've ruined the day for everyone! It even goes as far as my husband not wanting to sleep with me in our own bed, what kinda of s**t is that?

Well for everyone who is celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, have a good one!

Well we did it; we finally bought a new car. Thanks to Clayton's parents. The insurance company said our old car was totaled it wasn't worth the money to repair it considering it was 16yrs old. So Clayton's parents made a generous offer to help us buy a new car. On Thursday we went to the local Honda dealer and bought a Honda CRV it is a 1997 with a hundred thousand miles on it. It's a bit older than we were hoping but it was the only one in our price range.

On Monday we are taking it to Seattle to get it equipped for Clayton as he has a disability, he needs a left footed gas pedal and a stirring knob. After that he'll be able to drive it, I'm looking forward to it.

Here are some pics of the new car, you can see the whole set here.

I like that we have one of those spare tires at the back, gives us a lot more space.

A lot of stuff has been going on in my very busy lifestyle, so much in fact that I've decided to cut back on some things. For starters I got a job at a local museum downtown, this job is with the work-study program in school. I'll be working 14hrs a week there. With me working my other job at the weekends, this would mean I'd be pretty much on the go 24/7. School Mon-Thurs 9-4 the working Fri-Sat-Sun. After pondering over this for a couple of days I finally decided to put my notice in with my other job. With me being there a year I just feel I've reached all I can with the job, it's time to move on and be challenging with this other job. So I finish that job in about 2wks.

School is going well right now. I went to a meeting about my degree plan the other day, I'll be entering the Graphic Design program next Spring 07. And should be graduating Winter 07. My classes are certainly challenging, but I'm enjoying the Computer Graphic classes. Here is an example of my work that I've been doing, this is taken from a picture I took. I can't believe I'm in my second year of my degree already.

I miss catching up with everyone back home, I don't get a chance to call them that often. My sister actually e-mailed me for the first time in ages, as we always seem to catch up online sometime. So I'm gonna try to make a point and blog more, that would maybe help everyone back home get an idea of what's been going on in my life.

On Monday we went to Seattle to get a stamp in my passport a year extension of my Green Card, I haven't received my Notice of Action in the mail yet. So I made an appointment and was in and out within 20mins. Clayton took me too the British shop on the way home and we had Bangers and Mash for lunch. Unfortunately on the way home we had a car accident, the lady made a left turn and didn't see us. Went right on into the passenger side of our car, luckily we were okay, I have a few bruised ribs and a bad back. So I spend Tuesday morning in ER getting X-Rays, I had a couple of days off school to get better. Luckily the lady had insurance so we'll be getting everything fixed soon.
