Happy New Year!

Rose Bowl

Have I ever said how much I love Penn State football? Well I do, I L-O-V-E it. Going to Penn State football games is one of my favorite memories from college. I hope that everyone will be tuning into the Rose Bowl on January 1, 2009 to watch the Nittany Lions DOMINATE the USC Trojans. Who is USC anyway?

A Georgia Christmas

Last week I flew from Pennsylvania to Georgia to spend the holidays with my family. We spent our week relaxing, watching/going to movies, eating, cooking, eating, playing games, shopping and eating. Yes we did A LOT of eating! My mom and sister had made Christmas cookies earlier in the month and unfortunately there were not many left after this past week.

This morning we all went breakfast before my flight out. What better way to end your vacation/visit than with a good meal. So we hit up Mimi's Cafe. I had never been to their breakfast prior to this morning, but my parents had and said it was good. I agree.

Overall, I had a great time with my family. I can't wait to see them all again. Especially my lil' peanut, Mabry!

Really?!?!

My sister sent me a link informing me that there was an earthquake, measuring 3.3, this past Saturday in Lancaster, PA, where I live. That is strange.

New Look

My blog received a makeover for the upcoming New Year. I know this won't be the only look my blog will be 'wearing' during 2009...but it's a good start. Blog design compliments of Mamashood, aka my older sista. Thanks Jess!

Change In Plans

Right now it's R.A.I.N.I.N.G outside. Looks like we won't be going skiing/snowboarding this weekend. I wish some of the snow that is currently falling out in the north west would move its way over here! Looks like we'll be relaxing at home the next few days instead of hitting the slopes.

Back

This past Saturday I made my way back north to Pennsylvania. The drive went well and it wasn't as long as the drive down, so no complaints here.

Sven and I don't have a busy schedule this week. I think we're both trying to enjoy the holiday season, as well as each other's time before I start commuting to work everyday. With my daily commute and tax season starting I am going to be nonexistent until the middle of March. I don't know if I'm ready for this!

We're hoping to do some Christmas shopping this week and then this weekend go to Elk Mountain. We both want to go skiing/snowboarding and I think this weekend will be the perfect opportunity (since I don't know how much available time I'll have after that). So hopefully between now and then we'll get some 'real' snow to make the experience even better. I will try to remember to take my camera and actually use it. I am so bad about remembering to take pictures. That is one habit I hope to break!

Family Time.

I have already been in Georgia for a week and I have one more week to go before I head back to Pennsylvania. It has been nice hanging out with family and playing with Mabry Grace. Unfortunately this next week I will be spending most of my time at Stone Mountain, as I have a training that I have to attend for work. Can I say that I hate trainings, because I do. They are long and boring. And because I can't come to my parents every night to get my Mabry fix makes this one even worse. Oh well there is nothing I can do about it now, except go. Hopefully my next post will have some pictures. Until next time!
