One Project Down, One Test to Go!!!

Today was pretty great! I finished my studio project 2 days early. Yes you heard me right...2 DAYS EARLY!!! That never happens. I promise! It took a huge weight off of my shoulders, so now all I have to worry about is my textiles test on Wednesday and then it's CHRISTMAS BREAK for Hannah!!! I am just so ready to go home that I almost have no motivation to study haha But I know that need to end the semester with a bang after all the horrible things that have brought me down these past couple months. So, tomorrow I'll hit the books hard and hopefully do fairly well on my exam. Then, it's packing and the drive home! :)

I had a great day Saturday with William. It was great to get away and just spend the day with him. It definitely helped with the homesickness! He planned a wonderful and eventful day! We went to the natural science museum for a couple hours, did some Christmas shopping, and went and saw Tangled. The museum was so interesting! We saw a two headed snake, a feeding in one of the fish tanks, and went on a wall on one of the trails. It was simply wonderful! When we were Christmas shopping, I couldn't help but buy me a little something, well a big something. I found a 500 page illustrated history of the Marine Corps for only $20. I just couldn't pass up that great deal! This book is massive, but I figure I have nothing to do all Christmas break so my goal is to read that whole thing by January. I think that is a very realistic goal, and one that Josh would be most proud of. If you go see any movie in the next few weeks you must see Tangled! It was on of the best movies I've seen in a while. The movie was fabulous. The music was fabulous. Everything about it was fabulous haha :) Then again, I do like animated Disney movies, especially princess ones!

Another great thing this weekend was that I became friends with 2 of Josh's Marine buddies on facebook! One of them asked me if I was Josh's sister. Naturally, I said yes :) And I really do see Josh as my big brother. He taught me so much about life and myself. I really believe that he played a big part in making me who I am today. He also didn't really judge me for the things I did and I didn't judge him. We just knew each other so well that there was no explaining ourselves. I do the things I do because I'm me, and Josh knew that. He might've laughed at me for doing something, but he never really questioned it. It takes a really strong bond to have a friendship that close, and I thank our parents for that. They were friends before we were, so their friendship brought us together. I honestly don't know who I would be had our parents not met. It's funny how things like that work, how God brings certain people together for a reason. There are some things that God does that you just don't pick up on until years later. It really shows me that He indeed does have a plan for me and that everything He does in my life has a purpose to it. That holds a little reassurance through all of this. Maybe years later, I'll finally realize why something so awful had to happen to such good people. Peace. Love. Semper Fi.
