I figured that even though Alissa just wrote on here and today school got cancelled (LPS anyway), I've got time this morning so I can write a little something. Because of the bad ice storm last night I got a call at 6am this morning telling me that Lincoln public schools is closed so my last day as a mentor was officially yesterday. I don't know if I get paid for today but I hope so. The worse part about it was that I couldn't go back to sleep after the phone call. Poor Alissa, since it is the last day of finals week the university sent an email out that they weren't going to close so she had to go to work. So while Alissa continues to work until just before christmas, I'm beginning my three weeks off until I start my student teaching on January 12th. Then till May I'll be teaching the whole time without getting paid a cent for it. We'll be living off of sugar momma so in case I don't say it enough, Alissa I am very grateful for your working to support us! You do so much! Thank you! Hopefully it won't be too much longer and we can get to the point where you don't need to work.
So after Alissa found out I had the day off, I offered to make her waffles for breakfast but she said no, so while she was in the shower I decided I'd get to work scraping her car for her. It took me about a half an hour to get the inch thick ice off of the windows enough to see for driving. Then I drove her to work so that she didn't have to park and walk on the ice. Down below are pictures of my car still covered (on the right) and then Alissa's car Molly as a finished product from the scraping.
Last night was fun making cookies and decorating them. Doesn't everyone agree that the cookies on the left look better?! Come on, the blue buttons, green pants, and red hair?! Brilliant! I think the goatee provides more personality.
PS. I figured we better not leave out the picture I took of Alissa. Hope you love it.
