These past 3 months have been a very busy time in our lives.It's time to play catch up on everything that has been going on. Adam is finishing school at the U and I just went back. I knew going back to school and working full time was going to be busy, but I never expected it to be like this. On the first day of class the teachers always tell you how intense it is going to be, and how you need to study x amount of time for every hour your in class. Well... I have never taken them seriously and boy was I proven wrong this year.
I started the rad tech program and have yet to figure out how I made it through the semester. I have been working at my same job but just working a little bit less. I am doing clinicals 3 days a week at St Marks hospital. I get home around 11:30 pm those nights and get up for work at 5:30 the next day. If any of you know my sleeping habits, you know this didn't go over well with me. I can wake up early, but I can't keep my eyes open past 9 pm. I have learned how to function on zero sleep and how to work through those 16 hr days. I have loved almost every minute of it. I am so excited to finally be headed in the direction I want to. I am also so happy that Adam is finally done with school. He has worked hard to finish and I am so proud of him.
This year for Thanksgiving the whole famdamily came up to our/mom and dad's house. It was so much fun to hangout with everyone and do some sisterly things. The grandkids are getting so big and are learning how to play really cute with each other. The kids just wanted to help with everything and sometime drove me positively crazy, but that's what they do right. We also had to figure out how to child proof the house as well. My niece Madison loves to run around but has yet to figure out how to go down the stairs no matter how many times I show her. After a few bumps we decided the baby gates needed to go up. I love having the family over even if I was a little crazy while they were here.

Right before Thanksgiving, my sisters and my mom all got together for the Time Out for Women conference that was held at the Salt Palace this year. It is always a good time when the Higham women get together. There were a lot of really great speaker and lots of wonderful music.It is just a reminder on how great it is to be a women, and what are Heavenly Father had in store of us.

Our life is a little uncertain and a lot of things are in the Lords hands right now. I am so grateful to have my faith and know that things will work out they way the Lord wants them to. It if comforting to know that he has greater things in store for me than I could possibly dream of. I hope everyone enjoys the CHRISTmas season and all of their Christmas dreams come through.

Merry Christmas!!!
Courtney,
This was such a nice post! I'm proud of you for going back to school and I'm proud of Adam for finishing. Graduating from college is the greatest feeling in the world because nobody can ever take that away from you! I just finished my first full load of graduate classes this semester (I went part-time last summer) and it kicked my behind but I think I did pretty well. What a relief!
I know what it's like to work full-time and go to school full-time. I used to work 12 hour graves at Primary Children's and take a full load of classes during the days. My hat goes off to you. Just watch yourself. After about 2 years of it, I started feeling like I was going crazy!
I hope that the Lord takes care of you. I think we could all use a little divine intervention right now in this crazy world. I hope you both have a Merry Christmas!
Wow! You are super woman! Way to go on working and going to school! That's not an easy task esp with the lack of sleep you get! That's so amazing! Thanks for posting! You're awesome!
