February

First things first. So I love February. Not only is it my Birthday on the eleventh, but it is Valentines Day and it is only twenty-eight days. Which totally works with my OCD. It is exactly four weeks long. I have a very busy month coming up. I am glad to say that my mom will be here from the first till the 22nd. We have lots of fun stuff planned. I am also getting a visit from my friend Tia, yeah! I have missed her so much. Hopefully we will find plent of time to relax and let benny and Anna play. Most importantly we find out where Chris will be attending Med school this Fall. The match is this Friday at midnight. As you know he was accepted to A&M in November on an early invite, but now it is time for the final match. Basically he takes all the schools he got interviews with and puts them in order of his preference and the highest one on the list that accepts him is where he will be matched. Well after a lot of prayers and phone calls to doctor's he knows. He decided that the only school he wanted to put above A&M was Southwestern which is in Dallas. This did not come easy because durng his visit to Houston he was really impressed and loved the school. It is a very well known school and most pre med students dream of being accepted there. I have to brag on my sweetie though because he decided that Houston was not where he wanted his family living. He felt it wouldn't be a very good situation with the commute he would have to make every day in order to see us and spend time with his kids. So we are waiting to find out will we live in Dallas or Temple Texas for the next four years.

I need to make a correction to my last post. I have been informed that Teddy Roosevelt also did not swear in on Bible. I did the research and this is correct. Thank you Kerri- Anne. I guess I should have been a little more discriptive in my last post. I wasn't necessarilly trying to just bash on Obama. I simply was making some observations that have made me think about our governments future. I personally feel that church and state should be seperate to an extent and agree with Teddy Roosevelts reasoning for not swearing in on the good book. To what extent I don't know. i still fell we should not remove In God We Trust from our currency. I also strongly support prayer in school and at Government functions. As far as there being any harm in swearing in not swearing on the Bible. That doesn't really matter. I mean it really is just a dumb tradition. Seriously does the Bible have any mystical power that will strike somebody if they lie after swearing on the Bible. No. Does God punishes you more severely if you lie after swearing on the Bible. No. I simply thought it was interesting and would like to knw why one wasn't used. Was it simply just not thought of or did he purposfully leave it out. We may never know. But so far I have o say he is sounding alot like George Bush and less like the Messiah that was making promises to all the Liberals before his election.

Awesome! I'm glad things are going well and it looks like it won't be long now for med school. We wish Chris all the best. Oh! I would love to see Tia too. I know, I know she is coming to see YOU, the lady with the cute, tiny baby, but I'm home all day and need to get out so if you guys aren't planning on visiting Wymount I can come visit, I just need David to stop taking the car to Salem every day.

Well actually she is not coming to see me. She is coming to see her new nephew. I just get to steal some of her time. But we would be glad to see you Gisela.

I am so excited that Tia will be coming to visit. You must be in touch with her more often, because I always find out stuff from you and Hannah. I need to be better about that. I love you guys and I am so glad we are friends and that everything is going well with your family! Good luck making the choice!

The difference between Obama and Bush is that Obama likes the sound of his own voice AND seeing his own face on the big screen WAY TOO MUCH! He just seems so conceited. Michelle Obama seems to be pretty strong-willed, though. I don't think she's getting pushed around at home. LOL!
