A way to wrap up the year.

A few weeks ago, when I was down in the dumps worried about how I was going to complete my internship hours for this semester and worried about what i was going to do for next year, I turned on the TV and watched an extreme home makeover episode about a boy who went through chemo therapy and is in remission.  When he found out that he had cancer he was told that his blood type was B+ and his motto and foundation were born.  Now he has a foundation entitled "B+" and since that episode it has encouraged me to push on through the end of the semester and I thought if he can do it so can I.  So my message to you as this year comes to a close is we have a lot to look forward to in 2010 and remember to stay positive or in case of Cameron, the boy in the episode, B+. 
Roommate Questions
A lot of you have been asking me "What is your status with your roommate?  Do you want a roommate?" or some people have been telling me "It's smart to get another roommate" and my response to that question is sometimes it gets lonely to not have another roommate around and I'm sure it puts a lot of pressure on my parents at the same time but for right now, with me trying to figure out what I'm going to do next year, completing my classes for this year, making sure that I spend enough time with my family and friends, it doesn't seem like it would fit in my schedule, at least not to have somebody with a disability.  I like to make my own schedule and my own decisions even though sometimes I do miss Norine.  So as you can tell, there is no straight answer to how I feel but right now I am content if my parents are OK with it.  
On the brighter side I am happy to say that thanks to Brian and Justin I am the proud owner of 2 frogs.  Yes I not only live in an apartment now, but I have pets of my very own.  Something I have wanted since I moved in.  However, right now they are nameless and I believe no living thing should go nameless so I am having a contest to see what names I like the best.  The winner will win something very frog-a-licious.  Email me or send me a post with your ideas.  Have fun and the frogs and I say thank you in advance.  Happy holidays and as you can tell I'm having fun already!  Ribbet Ribbet, Love Jess

Great post, Jess! I love that B+ attitude! What do you feed the nameless frogs?

How about Ribbet and Croak? Happy Chanukuh and Happy New Year. Are done with your internship and/or is there a sequel?

Here are a few names we were considering before we named our new dogs. You may need to ask your Mom and Dad to explain - they come from old TV shows from when we were young.

Fred & Ethyl
Thurston & Lovie
Gilligan & Skipper
Oliver & Lisa

and one from your generation:
Kermit & Miss Piggy - (at least the Kermit part works for a frog!)

Congrats on finishing the CILA application and a successful road trip to deliver it.

Love, Uncleddie
