I’m here again!

So over Christmas Jared and I were having lunch at the local diner with my grandma. She asked what was wrong with my blog…and if by chance it was broken…or maybe her computer wasn’t linked up to the page correctly. Sadly, none of those were the case…I’ve just been plain too lazy and too busy to write. So that stops here…I will now start blogging again!
So Christmas was great…we had 2 whole weeks off from work this year. (Always a nice bonus when working for a college!). We started the holidays out with my 27th birthday on the 23rd. We got all fancied up and Jared took me out to the Melting Pot in St. Louis. It was icy and yucky on the roads…but we went anyway. For those of you who haven’t been to the Melting Pot…it’s a super fancy fondue restaurant. It takes about 3 hours or so to get through all of the courses…and it’s just amazing! We had cheese fondue…awesome salads…lots of meats to cook…and a cookies and cream fondue to wrap everything up with. It was delicious…and a great night out with my hubby.
We headed up to my parent’s house on Christmas Eve…the cats and all. We got there just in time to put some nicer clothes on and head out for Christmas Eve service, seeing Santa on Oakland, and Olive Garden. (There’s a guy who dresses up like Santa every year that waves from his front window to the cars that pass by. We make it ritual to drive by and wave and honk every year.) We got to bed decent time and were up early Christmas morning to head out to our various family Christmas’s. We were stuffed by the end of the day…but it was great to see all of our family.
The rest of the week was spent shopping, eating, being lazy, catching up with family and friends…and eating some more. We headed back down south for New Year’s at Steve and Nicole’s. We had a great night filled with games and more food. Mom came down to visit with us again on New Year’s Day…and to whip us into getting our basement finished up. We got so much work done! We’re over half-way done now. Soon enough we’ll have our family room back…a place for all of those drums…and more storage and shelves. Can’t wait!
And now we’re back at work…which isn’t so bad. Another group of new students is here for interterm and I’ve been busy with phone calls and e-mail since I got back. I’m definitely looking forward to this new year and all that it has in store for us.
More blogs to come…as promised!
