Well, I meant to update before now, but I guess I have to catch up now :). We had a great Christmas and New Years; Christmas was spent with my family and for New Years Alexandra and I went to the Richards' house. We were blessed with a HUGE snowfall starting Christmas evening that went throughout the whole next day ending up with over a FOOT of snow! They said this is the most snow we have had in a long time; it was a lot of fun to look at it, go for walks, and even play in it :).
School started about three weeks ago for me. I am taking two history classes (Va History and U.S. History from 1945-1991), Art Education, and an intro to Special Ed class that is talking about various aspects such as law and the various disabilities, etc. I am really enjoying my history classes; since they are more focused (one in location and the other in time period) we can spend more time learning some details about the various events that occurred rather than breezing by them to get to the next thing.
