Celebrate the holidays with us.......Christmas 2016

My Christmas started out as soon as I got home from college. I started making Christmas cookies and Christmas gifts and of course listening to Christmas music. As for actual Christmas celebration that started on Christmas Eve. My Deaf Sunday School class had its Christmas party from 3-4:45 where we just hung out, had hot chocolate, played games, and decorated cookies. Then at 5:00 we had our Christmas Eve service where I helped interpret some of the songs for the Deaf. When my family got home we watched ‘The Nativity Story’ and read ‘Christmas: On This Holy Night’ as we do every year. Not long after we went to bed.

My First Horse Show on Campus

As many of you know, I am an equestrian student at my college. I am taking a hunter/jumper class and a dressage class (trust me when I say double seating is not an easy task). In the number of years I have been riding, which is only about five, I have only competed in one dressage show. That is another story. However, it was a good experience for getting me into the show ring. The story I would like to share is the story of my first horse show on-campus. (By the way, both of the shows I have competed I have been schooling shows, which means they are not recognized shows.)

For those who aren’t familiar with dressage, I will take a few moments to explain how showing works. 

College 4 Realz...... Finals Week

After a lot of hard work, new experiences and a lot of fun, we have officially finished our first semester of college and now blissfully retreat to recuperate over a month long winter break. Also, now we have a good idea of what the dreaded Finals Week involves. When you think of college finals the first thing that comes to mind is stress, coffee and energy drinks, and pulling lots of all-nighters.

Celebrate the Holidays with us……..A College Christmas

Hey guys! I mentioned in the last celebrate the holidays with us that we had a Friendsgiving and that we knew we would have a Christmas party. We had this party on the 2^nd of December because that was the Friday before finals. Now this was a pretty big event for us and we wanted to share it with you!

Celebrate the Holidays with us.......Thanksgiving

FRIENDSGIVING

A few weeks ago I brought up to one of our friends that I thought it would be cool to have a Christmas party before finals week to help de-stress. She said that her and her roommate were thinking along those lines but that they were actually thinking more like secret Santa. So we decided to combine both of them into one having a party and secret Santa. I will post telling everyone how that went later this week but for now I am going to tell you about the Friendsgiving we had before thanksgiving break to celebrate that and to organize the secret Santa.
