new beginnings I like New Years. Somehow each year it give me the chance to reflect on the previous year and look forward to the blank slate that lies ahead. I am excited about getting to know people better and making efforts to improve in the coming year. Among my resolutions are the typical ones … Continue reading →

only survival Well, we made it through another wedding. It really is nothing short of a miracle! We had a snowed in bridesmaid who made it to the wedding just in time to throw her in a dress and walk her down the aisle. There are many other stories that I don’t desire to relive, … Continue reading →

Okay, not really. My Christmas has finally become relaxing. I am just hanging out at my in-law’s house. There are a ton of goodies for snacking out today and tonight we will eat a big dinner and open presents. Then, tommorow I head back to Houston and begin the crazy time associated with the wedding … Continue reading →

just a few more minutes… to keep my eyes open. I’m so tired because I’m not used to having a weeknight social life and this week has been crazy for that. Monday night, my classmates and I went out after class. I didn’t do anything Tuesday night, but last night I went to coffee with … Continue reading →

Last night, I discovered the Houston S-N-B! Yipee! They have only met once so far for a little KIP (knitting in public) and they are meeting again tonight, so I’m going to go. Hopefully, it will be great fun. Many of them are not knitters, but stitchers of other types, so I will learn a … Continue reading →
