"Its the little things"

I will be posting twice today because I didn't have my computer yesterday. This week is going by pretty slowly but I am getting a lot done, which is good.

Amy's mom has been in town since Monday and we are loving it! She cooked us an amazing Thanksgiving dinner on Tuesday night and then yesterday, she made a turkey soup with all of the leftovers. She is an amazing Christian woman, who has one of the biggest hearts! It was refreshing just to be able to sit and talk with her. I'm so happy that Amy got to spend time with her too. I know she has been missing her family a lot lately.

Yesterday, I found out that one of my supervisors at work had a heartattack and was in the hospital. She has been gone from work since last Thursday and I thought she was just out sick. I was in complete shock when I found out yesterday. One of the other supervisors and I went down to the hospital yesterday and spent about an hour with her. She looked better than I expected and she actually just called me a few minutes age and said that she was released, but she has to go back in two weeks to get another stint. She is the lady that I talked to all of the time, so I've been pretty lonely at work without her.

I have been stressing majorly about all of my school work that is due in the next few weeks. The biggest thing that I need to do is have 25-19 hours of volunteer work completed. I have been doing it at South Beaver Elementary and just helping with the FACTS program there, but I really don't have enough time in my day to finish the 25 hours by the 28th. I was talking to Laurel about it last night and she reminded me how much I have helped with CARES and how I have pretty much eaten up their volunteer hours. We thought about it and did some math and realized that between the Haunted House last month and by after the Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday, I will have more than the required 25 hours. This was the biggest relief in the world! I can't believe I didn't think of it before. I already have the hours done, now I just have to write the paper, which will be way easy. My goal is to get that paper and my New Teatament paper done before I leave on Tuesday, because they are both due the Monday after I get back and I don't want to even have to think about school during Thanksgiving.

Well that is pretty much the gist of what had happened in the last few days. Hope everyone else is doing wondeful!
