Playing catch up

It feels like forever since I have posted--wait, that's because it has. Life has been in full-swing since, oh about Thanksgiving. Here is a brief run down on what has been happening. I'll do a little photo blogging.


The month of December was the usual holiday events and what not. Great seeing my family and spending time with them. My niece, Emma, was fun to watch this year. After showing her a couple of times how to open the gifts, she was good to go on her own. One of the few pictures I have of us because she doesn't like to sit still for long. She's my sweetie. I don't know what I'm going to do when her sister comes in May.





New year's was wonderful. Mike came to Oxford and we had an interesting, but fantastic evening. For those who have not caught on, Mike is the guy I'm dating. He is wonderful. I am very thankful for him to be a part of my life. Everyday I am amazed by the happiness he brings to me. Sure I wish we weren't so far apart right now (he's in Atlanta), but I feel it's only short term. Maybe soon I will do a post on just him. (I know he is hating this if he reads it).


I had my stitches taken about a couple of weeks ago. Oh, I had a cyst remove from my hand. It has been bothering me for months now, and this should prevent it from returning--I hope. If I had a picture I would post it as well. I will have a small, cute scar. As my doctor said, 'One day you are going to give that hand away to some guy.' He is a very silly doctor. Right now, I have an inch long line with a dot at each end. I think it's cool.

Last weekend, I went to Atlanta since it was a long weekend and Mike had to teach a training. It was a good weekend. Saturday I spent the day with a couple of Mike's friends that I met last time I was there. Bill, Lindsey, and I went to the Carter Musuem to see the First Lady's exhibit. We windowed shopped till Mike finally got off work. The four of us, plus Chris, went to Murphy's for dinner. I really like his friends. They are great. Sunday I went shopping while he was in training again. We had dinner with his parents. Meeting the parents was good. I was nervous at first, but who wouldn't be, then it went well--or at least I think it did. I hope they liked me.

Monday we went to the World of Coke. Mike is such a great guy. He has been no telling how many times, but I have never been; so he went with me. He is a trooper. Afterwards, we went hunting for a Build-A-Bear and Disney store. Then of course it was time for me to leave. I hate that part.

Mike likes to hug big object filled with liquid.
