New Year

Well we are already into our second month of the new year and time is already flying by! Life for us has been busy...ok just me with my '5' jobs as some of my friends would say. So haven't had much time to update the blog and too felt like I haven't had much to share.

Long and I has a wonderful Christmas with my parents. They came in from VA and spent a few days with us before heading out to Ohio to visit my brother and his family. My friend Jenny, her husband Steve, and their son Luke were to join us for the weekend of my birthday, but called Christmas day to cancel. They were all sick with the flu/stomach bug and didn't want to share it with us!! They joined us a couple of weeks later and we had a wonderful time. Jenny and I got some girl time without any husbands or kids! It was nice to be able to have a cup of coffee and sit and talk and not have any distractions to interrupt us. While they were here I took Jenny to get her haircut since she said she wanted and needed a makeover. So before the coffee I took here to see my friend Rebecca and she gave her a really great cut. Didn't think of getting a before and after pic...trust me she looks great!!

I had the opportunity to attend a good friends baby shower at the end of January. I stayed with a friend in Lancaster, PA and then drove into Doylestown, PA for the shower. Natalie was really surprised about the shower and couldn't believe that everyone was able to pull one over on her. I was so glad I went since I had not seen her since last May and got to see some old friends from the Single Endeavor days. Here are just a few pics from the shower...

I am so excited for Dave and Natalie and for the new life they are bringing into the world! I can't wait to meet Baby Jordan!!

I am staying busy with work! I am still at the dental office 4 days a week, which is more than I care to handle. I am still working at Bath and Body Works part time and love it, though it is cutting into my social time with friends! My schedule there is scaled way back since I have started to teach again. My first day of class was Jan. 29th and went very well. There are 9 students to my class and they seem very interested in learning. So far they are heads above my class from last year and hope they continue to surprise me...in a good way. The only stress I have had is dealing with the techno portion of the class. Can't seem to make the computers stay logged on for me, that I have had to ask the security guys help me log back in. And not to mention getting the power point slide to work properly. This year they have me into two different rooms. So one night I am in one room starting at one time and in another room another night starting at a different time. The school is having a spacing issue and are trying to make due with what they have. They are hoping to purchase a larger space to accomodate the schools growing size, but that remains to be worked out.

Well that's it for now...will add more craziness later...we hope this new year is finding you well!
