Share your coat...

One of my good friends posted this and it made my heart full. I hope we all can find ways to give a little of what we have.

Christmas delight

Celebration Perhaps?

We are doooone (with classes for this semester)! Gosh, I really can't believe it. It hasn't really set in yet, which is why I think we need to CELEBRATE. I'm not exactly sure how, but we need to. Any suggestions? A cruise would be ideal, but I don't know if that will work out right now....so maybe something a teensy bit smaller....


Another reason for celebration.....
JESSICA & ANDREW are getting hitched! It's about time don't you think? Curt and I had our bets that they would get engaged in October, but they proved us wrong. They get engaged last Saturday! We are sooo soooo happy for them. They are just too cute, so funny, and very photogenic..I mean look at these photos:

Congratulations you two!

Another reason to celebrate:
Curt's car is out of the shop! Yayyy....for the past week we have had to survive with one single car. Surprisingly, we did quite well. I would either drop the mister off at work and then pick him up at 6:00 or he would take the car and I would walk to work and then he would pick me up at 8:00....or he would be stranded at home all day while I was at work, had sessions, and dinners. It definitely was tough. I am very grateful we have our little mazda back. We love you Mazda. We hope you live on forever with us....

Saturday Stories

These past several days have been CRRRAZY busy. I have lots to tell you.

First Story:

Saturday was a great & loaded day. I woke up in the wee hours of the day to shadow one of my good friends during one of here photoshoots. It was a neat experience and I am so so grateful that she brought me along! I think that is the best way to learn and become a better photographer..to watch how someone else takes their photos. Anyways, I love Kim. She is so great.

Second Story:

This past Satuday was Trinity Mission's 75 cent sale! How could I pass that up?? Well, I couldn't. A friend and I headed over there to check the goods. I ended up purchasing two blouses, 2 skirts, a belt, and a ballin' watch...ALL FOR FIVE DOLLARS. Are you kidding me! I love deals like that, and I absolutely love this watch...even though the battery is dead.

Story Three:

Purdue Federal took Curt's whole branch (+ everyone's sweethearts) to Dave & Busters for a Q-loop celebration on Satuurday. We had a great time. We first ate dinner there and then got our game on. Our favorite games were (in no particular order):

1. Trivia game: where you competed against 5 other people and tried to answer these ridiculously hard questions correctly & fastly. I think my average was 1 correct answer (except for one time, when I one the entire round). Curt rocked it everytime (he's a genius).
2. SKI BALL: we had to fight a group of kids for ski ball, but it was worth it.

3. Football: I totally killed this one with a whoppin 199 points.

4. Dance Dance Revolution: So normally we aren't really a fan of this difficult game, but we loved it here! Curt caught on quickly and burned quite a few calories.

5. Jump Rope Game: I don't think it's actually called this, but it was my fave. You have to jump this red line that keeps spinning faster and faster and faster and faster. It's a work out

Well, as you can see...we rocked those games and won lots and lots of tickets. After everyone pooled their tickets together, we all had over 3000! That is a great achievement. With those tickets we bought:

Mr. Banana Man!

Mr. Banana Man is the branched newest employee, so I suggest you head over to their branch and say "Hello!"

Breffy with Santy!

All children love actually meeting Santa, and telling them all of 

their wishes. But wouldn't it be 10 x better if they could eat 

pancakes with him too! The best part is that it is absolutely FREE. I 

love free things, so I want to share this with everyone and I will be 

the photographer for Santa...so if you don't like Santa,

come to see me! 

Here's the details: 

Saturday, December 17th 

Ivy Tech Community College-Lafayette 

In Ivy Hall 

9:00AM-11:00AM 

There will also be Arts and Craft, and an Inflatable Obstacle 

course for the kids to enjoy! 

This is a FREE event, pastries and juice are provided! 

This is run by the YMCA and is meant to get the community involved 

with IVY Tech. So spread the word and invite family and friends! Hope 

to see you there! 

Small, but exciting accomplishments.

First Accomplishment:

So, I was given an invitation the yesterday. It wasn't just any invitation, it was an invitation from one of my Professors (not in a creepy kind of way). Let me tell you about this professor and this class. His name is Josh Boyd and he is known at Purdue for how hard his classes are and his rigorous grading style. He always wears a bow tie. Actually I found a picture of him...

As you can see, he definitely is not an ordinary, boring professor. I feel like I have learned more from him than any other professor, so good job Prof. Boyd. Anyways, he began his class by telling us that only 10 students out of the 150 students taking the class will receive an A. Pretty scary right? Well.....I am one of those ten! Check this out...

                           

That was pretty dang exciting & has never happened to me before. Whoop Whoop!

Second Accomplishment:

Last night I was in the Christmasy mood. We had our first snowfall this week, and it was about time to get in the mood. I popped in the old film "Holiday Inn" (which is a Isenbarger favorite...especially Lisa). Most people would say, what?? That isn't an accomplishment! Oh, it is. I have actually never seen this film. If you are apart of the Isenbarger fam & have never seen Holiday Inn then your in trouble...So YAY, I've finally seen it! On top of that, I made a 12 day Christmas Calender Advent. What? You've never heard of a 12 day Christmas Advent? Well, that's what's in these days FYI. Jussst kidding. I haven't finished it yet, but today is DECEMBER FIRST. I had to get something on our wall! Hopefully I get the rest of December made by Christmas....but it still looks very cute!

Third Accomplishment:

We are listening to the Christmas album by She & Him, which we purchased for only ONE DOLLAR AND 99 CENTS. Holy Cow! That, my dear, is a good deal. We must thank Amazon for this accomplishment. 

I think that's all our accomplishments for now. Hopefully more to come!
