Busy Last Quarter 2008

Yes, it's been over a month since I wrote anything new. I can get carried away with the idea that I must post something awesome and/or amazing to write at all! The title of this post came from an e-mail a friend sent me. She mentioned that our family has had a busy last quarter of the year, and that is the truth!

On December 19, Nathan graduated from Auburn University. We are so proud of him. The day was great. We got to spend time before and after with him, Chelsea and Avery. Rob got quite a few good pictures too.

Christmas came on us fast. We got the tree up and decorated and even managed to buy presents. This year for the first time, I did not send out Christmas cards. We had a good Christmas with my parents and sister coming up to spend it with us. We did miss Nathan--it was the first Christmas he hasn't been with us! We had exchanged presents with Nathan, Chelsea and Avery the weekend before Christmas while they were visiting.

Staying up 'til midnight was a challenge for us this year. We were tired! Will had been on a ski trip with our church youth group, and he was tired too! We made it to midnight...barely. New Year's day was nice and relaxing though. I even got to watch lots of the Rose Parade (I love a parade).
