Clayton's working a late night shift and I'm sitting here, lonely and very nervous. I'm normally fine when Clayton works late, but knowing what I now know it's hard to relax. Unfortunately we were robbed yesterday, they were very meticulous and picked the lock to our cottage. Clayton and I didn't have any clue until our neighbors said they were robbed stealing most of their jewelry and such. We didn't notice anything was taken until we went to go and charge our new cell phones, we couldn't find them.

We then started looking around, they took one of our old cell phones (lucky the contract was canceled) 4 chargers 2 of them were our old ones and the other 2 were the new ones. Guess they took all of them to be sure the cell phone could work. Then going into our bedroom and stealing Clayton's watch from his bedside table; the watch I bought him for Christmas a couple of years back, that I had engraved. My Great Grandmothers gold ring, that my mother gave to me before I emigrated. The ring was special to me, my mum gave it to me as it was engraved with Jewish writing "MIZPAH" which meant "The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another" So as you can imagine I'm quite upset about that. They also took a Silver Welsh necklace I had for my Birthday from a family friend.

So late last night we had the Sheriff come by to take a report, he said it's not a bad idea to go around the pawn shops in the next couple of days to see if they turn up there. Lets hope we can find the jewelry, but I'm not holding my breath.

So now I'm looking at the clock waiting for Clayton to come home, waiting, and waiting.

Yey finals are done! I feel like my brain is going to explode, it's been a hard quarter. My logic final was hard but I think I've done alright. I'm predicating a B for the class and my other 2 classes As. I'll know by Tuesday what my grades are, here's hoping! Next quarter is going to be very busy I'm taking 4 Classes, 3 graphic design classes and History of Photography which will be interesting. I'll be on the go between classes and work Mon-Friday.

Speaking of work, Clayton finally got a full time job at a local hardware store. 40hrs a week good benefits. It's great that we have money coming in, finally. So he's pretty busy with work and taking his degree online.I have this coming week off I'm hoping to just be able to relax and work on my Scrapbooking and taking some photos. Haven't had much time for anything lately, been so busy with school and work. It'll be nice to have a break.

Had a bit of bad news on Wednesday my mum called to tell me that one of my comprehensive school teachers died in a car accident. I used to have him for English and History, it was very sad to hear the news.

Today we went to Seattle to celebrate Saint Davids Day, the Seattle Welsh Women's Club always holds a Saint Davids day concert. It was nice to be able to celebrate such an important day of my culture, there was the Seattle Welsh choir along with Welsh folk music. Afterwards there was a Welsh tea, with Welsh cakes and a raffle. This year Clayton's uncle came a long to check out the concert, we all had a great afternoon. Even greater when Clayton's uncle won the raffle, a gift basket full of Welsh/British goodies. I was quite jealous that he won, but kindly enough he gave me the basket of goodies.

Here is a picture of what we won, we had British McVities Biscuits, Welsh Tea, Heinz Sticky Toffee Pudding, a Welsh T-Shirt, Welsh Socks a couple of books including a very interesting book called Wales of 100 Years Ago.
