Back to School...O back to School!

Hey mom,

   I wanted to start off by saying how much I loved being back at home for winter break. Christmas, Mark getting married, the snow, and being with you guys was sooo much fun! It makes me sad thinking about it now. How sad it was leaving the comforts of home, but basically leaving you, dad, and Mal was sad. But I am fully back into the swing of college life at APU! It's been great seeing friends and being back in new classes. I got the best welcome I could get when I was tackled by Chandler at the airport. She missed me and you know how much I missed her. As much as I love the snow, the warm weather has been so nice to be back in. My classes are good too! I like all of my professors as well. My classes are Rhetorical Theory, Research Methods, Christian Ministries, Exodus/ Deuteronomy, and Christianity and the Creative Process. Mom, you would love Christianity and the Creative Process. It's all about using the arts as ways of worship and what Christianity looks like in Hollywood and culture. It's a pretty cool class! Anyway, work has also been good except for how many people have been laid off over the past few months. Almost 10 different people have been laid off for different reasons, but mostly they didn't use integrity. Pretty crazy. Also, it' been raining soo much lately. This past week it rained a week straight. It sucked and it just didn't stop. But now it's sunny and the mountains look gorgeous with snow on them. Life is good mom and I'm really starting to enjoy college life. I'm comfortable at APU and it's been cool to see how I'm growing. I'm even keeping my room clean and doing my laundry without Chandler's help! It's a miracle! I hope everything is going well back home and I know things felt a little empty after I left, but it's nice that you got Mallory around. If you didn't have her then you would have been really sad empty nesting it again. By the way, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Anyway, catch you later and I love you sooo much.

Your son,

Trent
