It's ours!

Though I knew we had sent in our last payment to Rooms to Go for our dining room furniture, I feel as though we officially own it now that we got the next statement with a $0 balance. We're trying to decide what furniture we can buy next. (Just kidding.)

I can't talk!!

Yesterday my voice started getting kind of scratchy. Throughout the day today it has slowly left me. I called my friend tonight to tell her I wasn't going to play Bunco with the girls and I was afraid she wasn't going to be able to hear me on her voicemail. Starting 4th period today I had kids ask if they could talk for me. I just told them that no one wants to hear my scratchy voice, including me. Luckily my last class is really good, so I got a bit of a break. Hopefully I'll be able to speak, and have people hear me, before Monday!

Update

I know I haven't been good about updating the blog lately, but that's mostly because there hasn't really been anything to post about. Last week was the first week our couple's Bible study started meeting at our house. The couple's house where we usually meet work late Tuesday nights, so we offered to have it here since we aren't meeting on our usual Wednesdays. I love it because we have to keep the house clean since we are having guests every week.

I didn't have school yesterday, so I got to go to lunch with Matt. Today the middle school watched the inauguration in the chapel. I can't believe how many people are in Washington, DC! I don't think I would enjoy it, especially with how cold it is up there. I'm glad the kids were able to see it (and me too!).

And I have a cold. Yuck! Hopefully I don't pass it on to Matt!

Happy New Year!

It's hard to believe that 2008 is over. It was a good year. We don't have plans for the new year and we have a joint resolution to keep the house clean. So far so good!

Last night we went to our friend's house and hung out and played video games. Matt held our friends baby until she fell asleep. Too cute. She woke up when Matt handed her off to her dad, but she seemed happy to be awake with everyone around. We didn't stay until midnight because Matt had to go in to work today to launch their new program. We didn't even stay up until midnight here.

I was surprised when Matt said tomorrow is Friday. I really thought tomorrow was only Thursday. These 2 weeks off have gone by quickly and I'm never ready to go back to work. I'll just have to keep enjoying these last 3 days!
