hi...

[hold_me_now]

yes, i'm still alive. i survived the fall semester (yay!). no more projects, finals, sketchbook assignments, etc. for another month. i probably could have made time to update but i suppose i just lost interest. of course, i still checked my lj friends page quite frequently throughout the semester :) i just felt like i never had anything of interest to update about. anyway, i hope everyone is doing well... hopefully i'll stay busy during the break. i've kind of gotten used to always having something to do and now i feel somewhat useless lol. don't get me wrong though, i'm happy to be able to just sit around and relax.

between now and jan. 17th i will be helping to plan two retreats and my family and i are taking a trip to NYC (yay x 1000) soooo i'm pretty pumped. oh yea, and christmas & new years are thrown in somewhere too :) i love this time of year after i've finished studying & can finally enjoy the holidays. i have a feeling my next update will be at the end of next semester haha so merry christmas, happy chanukah, happy new year, happy valentine's day, happy mardi gras, etc. until i see yall again.

ps - i miss my football buddies... we need a gatti's night soon
pss - i miss all my buddies that i haven't seen in awhile
