Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a very happy Christmas and New Years! Ours was wonderful, filled with family, good food, and lots of fun! We spent Christmas day with my family and really enjoyed having a new addition to the family this year, my future sister-in-law, Jilinda.


After Christmas, we drove to Atlanta and spent a week with Josh's fam. We had such a nice time there and were very glad able to spend a week, thanks to my wonderful teacher schedule.

Our trip ended at the Sugar Bowl, where Josh got to watch his favorite team (my second favorite) play, even though they frustratingly gave the game away to West Virginia. The day was not a total waste, because my favorite team (Josh's second favorite), Alabama, won their bowl game, so we were very happy about that. We left right after the Georgia game to drive back home. Thankfully, it was an exciting game that gave Josh plenty of adrenaline to stay awake. He was so awake that he wanted to just get it over with instead of going home at 1am and sleeping a few hours before making the long drive, figuring he'd be more tired that way.

Since we got home, we have pretty much gutted our house and are almost finished organizing it from top to bottom. There is nothing better than getting rid of junk and making your house an organized, clutter-free place to live! The only thing we have left to do is the nursery. I am getting so excited now that I have some ideas going for what we're going to do. I will post pics when we get it all done. Might be a while, though!
