We left for PA on the 19th of December, and after an 8 hour flight delay we finally made it to my parents house at 3 in the morning! We had lots of fun with my family, enjoyed lots of good food, and most importantly, lots of good drink ;) We mostly relaxed and just enjoyed each other's company and played some cards. We play Progressive Rummy whenever we're together, and I won one game, go me! I got to see some of my extended family, too, which was really nice.
That Monday all six of us (me and Cory, my parents, and Heather and Aaron) met up with an old friend of me and Heather's, Maria. Me, Heather, and Maria were the best of friends in high school, but we grew apart when we went to college. We recently reconnected through Facebook, and our families got together at a local Italian restuarant that we love for lunch. It was really great to catch up, and it was like we'd never parted ways. I can't wait for the next time we can get together! Sadly I have no pictures of this, because I think it would have been fun to put a 'then' and 'now'!
Mid-week we went to Cory's parents houses to spend sometime with them; we were there for Christmas. I got some Bed Bath and Beyond gift cards from Cory's parents because I wanted to get some items off our wedding registry that we hadn't gotten. Which I already did. Hello ice cream maker and new bake wear! The ice cream attachment for the Kitchen Aid mixer is my new best friend and also my worst enemy. More on that later.
We had fun spending time with Cory's parents and his sister and her family. Our neice (yay I can say 'our' now!), Jayden, is 6 months old now and she was so smiley and happy! Almost makes me want one of my own. Ok, just kidding, we're not there yet ;) But she was so sweet and I loved holding her! We also got to see Cory's friends from high school, who I can happily call 'my friends' now too. I love them! Much fun was had by all, like usual.
We flew back to H-town shortly after Christmas because Cory had to work the week of New Years. I worked a couple days and decided to take the rest of the week off. We had a New Year's Party at the Sholl house and it was lots of fun! Just a few of our closest friends hanging out, eating, drinking, dancing and ringing in the New Year together. Cory ended up getting sick (not from drinking), and stayed home from work the rest of the week. We had a relaxing weekend and then it was back to work...
I'm still in denial about being back at work, but we're getting by. Cory is finally better, and I caught his cold. We've started some house projects and bought some new furniture, and I'm gearing up for the half marathon that I've barely trained for this weekend. More to come on all of that in a new post, very soon. I promise :)
