An Amendment to an Overly Serious Holiday Post

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

It’s Sunday, New Year’s Eve, and we’re back in Boston.  We arrived on Friday night and have been doing even more relaxing and sleeping in than we did at our parents’ houses over the break, if you can believe that.
Last night, David and I talked about this worried-ness I keep getting myself into.  Almost every […]

Starting to realize I’ve got it all wrong

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

Something today has led me to thinking my priorities are all wrong.  What do I really want out of life?  Am I living that way? A few people around me have been challenging that lately and it’s been good.  They have been helping me to see that perhaps I’m not living like I want to […]

Home for the Holidays

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

David and I are down south and it’s so nice.  We spent a few days at my parents house in Atlanta, and then came up to Cleveland, TN on Friday to see David’s familly and a number of our good friends.  Happy Holidays to you all!

Another batch of cookies for the neighbors

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Our car almost got towed this morning.
My neighbor saved it.
I was sleeping, trying to de-stress myself and then all of the sudden
I heard so much knocking and doorbell ringing, frantic-like.
So I started to put on my clothes, once I realized what it was, and Keith, my roommate, starts coming down the hallway yelling, “David your […]

Our First Winter Snow

Monday, December 4th, 2006

This morning I awoke at the sound of these words coming from my radio, “I know a lot of people aren’t happy about it, but I’m so happy it’s snowing this morning.” I sat straight up in bed, and reached for my blinds to lift them. A beautiful heavy snow, white crystals […]
