Happy New Year! The days just seem to be flying by! As usual, we have been a busy bunch! Bill and I celebrated our First Wedding Anniversary December 29th. We went out to dinner at a new shopping place called "The Market Commons". They have upscale (a.k.a expensive) stores and restaurants there so we don't go there very much! It was a real treat to go out for a nice romantic dinner. We split a slice of carrot cake for dessert to commemorate our anniversary since the bottom layer of our wedding cake was carrot cake. It was a very nice time for us both.
I only worked half days the week after Christmas so the kids and I got alot done that week. We took the tree down and put the house back in order. I went ahead and put up my Valentine's decorations so we will be looking at them for awhile! Andrew finally got his final trophy for All-Star football. It is really nice. We have it sitting on the mantle for now. Andrew has also been "practicing" his guitar much to our delight. Kind of goes like this....TWANG!!...pause......TWANG!...pause....etc....and then "Hey Mom! did you recognize that song?" Umm...nooooo.....actually though Bryanna has talk him how to read some music and I thought I heard a tune that sounded a bit like Jingle Bells. The guitar teacher comes starting next week so I am sure we will hear an improvement soon...I hope.
We did go to my parent's for New Year's Eve. We did not get there until about 8:00 PM and Chris and Mom had put out quite a spread. I actually fell asleep about 10:30 but woke up around 11:50 so I got to ring in the New Year with sparkling grape juice. None of us lasted too much longer than about 12:10...we are a bunch of party animals aren't we? Of course Mom jumped up New Year's Day to get her dinner cooked so she could watch football all day and that she did. We had to make sure the Gamecocks went home defeated! Chris and I went up to the Dollar General store and I got myself some sweatpants and a t-shirt but that is all we did. We did not leave until about 7:30 but we had a really nice relaxing day. Except for Bill who was finishing the tile in the pantry for Dad. I had to work January 2 which was no fun.
The kids started back to school this past Monday and I started back this past Tuesday. Call me crazy but I signed up for the Master's degree program. There is alot more involved it looks like and I do not know how I will get it done but my goal is to have my Master's by June, 2010. So here we go again....
Speaking of which, I need to get started on my homework. I think I have 3 chapters to read, I still need to cook supper, AND the Orange Bowl is on tonight GO GATORS!!!
