Hello everyone:)

It's been so long since I have posted an entry! So I have 18 hours this semester, 9 of which are online courses so I will have to do better with time management. I will be pretty busy. I hope I dont mess up one of my classes just because I lose track of time with my online stuff. Oh well. Everything is pretty normal. Except Kevin isn't here:( He is in Washington doing some training, so I am in single girlfriend mode again;)

Have wonderful days!

1. I finished my last final today!
2. I am now out of school for a month!
3. Christmas time makes me feel warm and fuzzy
4. Hot chocolate because it is cold
5. Snow.
6. Wrapping presents tomorrow.
7. I have to get up pretty early tomorrow to go to wal-mart and get ingredients to bake! That's always fun for me.
8. Getting paid tomorrow
9. Spending all the money I get paid tomorrow on christmas presents for other people.
10. Meeting Kevin's parents for the very first time next week.
11. KEVIN IS COMING HOME REALLY SOON AND I GET TO SEE HIM!!!!
12. Kevin is moving to Richmond soon too!

So clearly there is some major excitement about Kevin, and school, I have just been on cloud nine lately. Which is really good:) So let's hear it for christmas, winter, no school and Kevin

I am an aunt!!! That is so weird. That means new responsibilities and everything! This is going to be alot of work. I only have one brother, so it's the hugest deal in the world to me that I am now an aunt. It's also relatively weird that he is now a dad. whoah.

Anyway, It all started monday. Stevi (My brother's wife) went to the doctor and they ran some tests. She was 8 months pregnant with twins so they were starting to put her in a bad position. She developed some kind of condition that I cant spell, but anyway, they induced. I wont go into detail, but they had to do a C-section.

Justice Brooks Nolan and Brannon Quill Nolan were born at 10:15 on November 29th. They were gorgeous. It was instant love at first sight for me. I lost it! completely....

I thought I would do better then my mom, but no. I was the worst of the bunch with crying and such.
Justice came out of the womb purple, so that was not good. They told us that he was not okay and took him away. that was the scariest feeling in the world.
He spent some time in the NICU hooked up to an IV and oxygen, I hated seeing him like that. He is okay now. The new Nolan family will go home tomorrow. They are all in good health. We were worried about my brother, but he pulled through just wonderfully. He was thrilled. It was an AMAZING experience and I am so glad I didnt miss it.

Brandon and Stevi, you did great.

Brannon and Justice, I love you!!
