What's Happenin'

So all of my long-distance friends know that I'm bad at it.  It's not that I don't love you, it's just that I don't ever know when it is appropriate to call!  I was going to use that excuse for why I haven't posted in a really long time, but now that I read it out, it doesn't really work.

Here's my update on what's been going on in my life since...geez, October!  I'm way behind.

First, my wonderful friend Jennifer got engaged to Chris!!  I am so happy for you and I can't wait to see how everything unfolds!  I know the wedding and marriage will be a beautiful thing!

Then, it was our anniversary!  Hunter and I have been married for a whole year.  It doesn't feel like it's been that long, and every day has been a blessing.  We have grown so much as a couple and as individuals.  God knew what he was doing when he put us together, and I am so thankful!  I woke up to flowers on the day of our anniversary, and then we went on a weekend trip to Asheville, NC!  We had a lot of fun, including going on a hike.  I apologize for the lack of a picture of me looking like a decent human being, I promise I did shower and look nice during the trip.

At the end of October, I finally got to babysit my favorite brown baby, Ian!  He was not well at first because he was taking a nap when he arrived at my apartment, but after a while he warmed up and became this cute little booger.  The pictures are a little blurry, but that's because once he stopped clinging to my chest and whimpering, he was constantly in motion.

The beginning of November, I got to see my roomies from Clemson!  Julie and Kristi were in Savannah for a half marathon, which I politely declined to participate in because it would have been embarrassing for everyone else around me due to my speed and endurance (hah!  Yeah, right.)  And then Kathryn drove down from Charleston to meet us for some pastries.  It was glorious and I always enjoy seeing them.

I feel like the rest of November, I worked a ton.  Because I did.  I had an endocrinologist appointment somewhere in there, and my diabetes is still in check.  Fast forward to Thanksgiving.  I had to work Thanksgiving night but I cooked my first real holiday meal the night before and it was delicious.  Then the day after Thanksgiving we made our way to the upstate.  I got to see Anna for dinner on Friday, and my friends from high school before that!  Hunter and I got to hang out with more friends from college on Saturday afternoon, then we spent some time with Hunter's family watching our Tigers get their tails handed to them.  Sad times.  We met Dad for lunch on the way back home on Sunday!  It is always nice to see family and friends that we miss so much!

It's officially December, we're getting in the Christmas spirit and our tree is up and decorated!  

And now it's back to work once more.  Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
