Much Needed Update

I can't believe it's 2009! I've been meaning to update my blog for the last several weeks. I thought about updating right after Thanksgiving and then I never did it. Then life got busy and here I am on January 3, 2009 finally updating my blog. Happy New Year!!!

Here is what has been going on. Thanksgiving was great. We had a lot of fun with family and friends. I finished my internship over the next few weeks. Then my hubby and I head to CA for a friend's wedding. We had a great time out there even though there was some strange things that occurred during the wedding weekend. We got to visit Hearst Castle while we were in San Luis Obispo. It was really neat and I would love to swim in those pools. We then spent some time with my family down in Los Angeles. My husband came home for work, but I stayed until the Dec. 22nd for a family party. I had a wonderful time and I loved getting to see all my extended family. Once home I had a day and a half to recover. We then stayed at my parents' house on Christmas Eve. I love spending Christmas with my family, but I also love spending time with Rod's family. We flew to Arizona on Christmas night. While visiting my mother-in-law in AZ we did many things. We went to a wildlife zoo, a mystery castle, a botanical garden, the Apache trail, Sedona, and many different shopping places. We also took this awesome night time desert tour in a hummer. We went off-roading in the dessert. We got to use night vision scopes to look for animals. Unfortunately it was way to cold in the desert for animals to be out. We also got to use heat detectors which showed living things as white and non living things as black. At the end we got to use this really neat star finding thing which you would point it toward a star and then click a button. It would tell you the name of the star and give you information about the star that you could read. Many of the stars even had audio information that you could listen to through earbuds. It was a really cool experience. Both vacations were really nice because my husband and I got to get away together and spend time without a lot of tv and computer. We got back on New Years Day, but we spent time at my parents' house because my sister was in town. We don't get to see her very often so it was really nice to get to spend some time with her. Last night we all went to dinner to celebrate mine and my sister's 25th birthday that we will celebrate on January 30th :). In two weeks I will start my last semester of my Master's. My internship is going to be at T.C. Williams High School so I'm really excited about that, but I can't wait for it to all be over. Hopefully I'll be able to find a job next year :) Well this is what has been going on in my life. I really am hoping to be able to update this blog a little bit more this year! I hope everyone is doing well and I wish you and your family a very happy new year!
