Christmas time

Well this Christmas has been quite the adventure, in one week we traveled from Knoxville to Nashville stayed for a few days. Then drove down to south of Atlanta and stayed for a few days, then drove to south Georgia. Whew, oh but it doesn't end. After Christmas I went with my parents to Indiana. THAT'S A LOT OF DRIVING!!!!!! But, let me tell you..it was worth every second of it! I really enjoyed the time we had with our families.

Bill's family is so calm and easy going. I really just enjoyed the time of relaxation. At Bill's parents we got to see a really awesome Christmas light display. I cannot imagine sleeping at night with those lights...they were pretty though!

My family is always on the go. GO GO GO!!!! Not as relaxing, but I still enjoyed every minute with them. We enjoyed the feirce game of catch phrase...which I still clame the boys cheat. Seriously if you want to hear some people get crazy with a "screaming fest" over a game, just come to my house. I guess I could say we are slightly competative. (well, mostly just my dad and me) Mom just watches and laughs...Bill gets in on the fun too, mainly to irritate me...

In Indiana I got to spend some quality time with my Aunt Emily. She is a very strong woman. To have the ability to raise four chilren basically by yourself takes courage. She has so much love for her children, I hope they realize that! I also got to spend time with my Aunt Pam, she is also a very strong woman. Everyone can learn so much from her, she is fighting cancer right now and isn't garuanteed much more time. She has been my best friend since I can remember. Growing up we had tea parties, stayed up till who knows when, and took many trips. Wow, what a life she made! She has been an inspiration for me to always live life to the fullest. I am grateful for her love and involvement in my life.

Well, anyway, that's how Christmas was for us. Bill stayed home while I went to Indiana, so I really missed him! When I got home he suprised me with a dozen roses (my birthday was Dec 31st). What a sweetie!!! I love roses!!! Now, we're just getting ready for school to start (next week). Here are some pictures of our adventures!

I cut my hair.

My parents got a new puppy. Her name is Mona.

She fell asleep like this...so CUTE!!!
