Christmas Break...

So break was a very good one.  It started off with a clinic visit and the results were great!  My lung functions were at 107% and the only thing they wanted me to do was gain 10 pounds, but that's old news.  I ALWAYS have to gain more weight.  Christmas was fun.  I relaxed, did a little bit of work, and relaxed some more.  It was very nice!  My sister's boyfrie...well fiance now came up to visit during his pre-deployment leave.  He has become the brother I never had! :)  We were able to spend some time together and bond some and it was just awesome.  And as you can tell, he proposed to my sister :D.  I am so excited about this!

I go back to school on Sunday and classes start back up on Tuesday.  I'm not sure if I'm ready to go back yet.  I probably am though.  This is most likely just the right time to be away.  It has been good to be away from school though.  I do not feel ready to get back into the grind, but the coming days will prepare me for it.

This next semester entails trying to figure out what I want to do with my major, getting into a running routine, and disciplining myself in several areas.  This will be a challenge, but with God's help, I can accomplish it!  Praise the Lord!

End...

ONLY 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL I LEAVE!!! :)  I'm so excited to get to go home. :)

Narnia...

My beautiful girlfriend and I went to see the new Narnia last night.  It was simply awesome!!!  There were so many biblical truths through out the whole thing.  I was skeptical at first because though Walden Media still has a huge part in making the movie, Disney no longer owns the rights to it.  They sold them to 20th Century Fox when Prince Caspian didn't do as well as The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.  This was expected because even in the books, Prince Caspian is one of the less popular books.  Walden Media wanted a certain budget for The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Disney didn't want to invest that much simply because Prince Caspian didn't do as well.  I feel like they should have stuck out another movie or two, but oh well.  It still turned out well in the end!  There were a few parts that were not accurate to the book (which is true of any movie really that is from a book) however at least one part was not accurate do to the visuals.  When Eustace was changed back to a boy, in the book it showed it as Aslan ripping the flesh off of him.  In the movie, it simply showed huge scratches on Eustace's (as the dragon) chest and Aslan ran his paw through the sand.  It was a little harder to tell what was going on.  All in all, it was a very good movie!  Plugged In provides an excellent and very accurate review of this movie.  Here is the link: http://www.pluggedin.com/movies/intheaters/chroniclesofnarniathevoyageofthedawntreader.aspx

The trailer is below.  Simply amazing!

The end...

Well it's just about the end of the semester.  It has been an absolutely crazy, but rewarding semester.  It will be nice to go home and see my family for Christmas and to not have to think about school for a couple weeks.  It will be nice to rest and have fun and just relax for a little while.  This post will be short because I still have a lot to do before the semester is over, but before you leave, watch this video below.  It might just change the way you think.

Clinic...

So I'm going to clinic today.  Pray everything turns out well.  I haven't been exercising like I should be and only recently started so I hope that doesn't have a negative effect.  My girlfriend is coming with me and this will be her first real CF-related experience.  She's scared the report is going to be bad and I'll have to miss school and be in Chicago for a couple weeks.  Pray for her. :)  After, we're going to possibly go to the zoo! :D

Please Vote...

Hey guys!  We didn't get there in September so we have another shot for October!  The CFF is again in the running for $250,000 to help fund a clinical study to help fight CF from early on in babies.  We are currently ranked 6th and we need to be ranked in the top 2 spots to get funding.  Vote every day!!!! :D

tenth avenue north...

In light of the tenth avenue north concert on Friday night, I wanted to post a couple of their songs from their latest album "The Light Meets The Dark".  This is the name of their tour as well.  These songs are just awesome! (I just had to make the colors purple and gold for school spirit :P)
