Christmas, 2009 begins, etc.

Hello everyone,
Here's the rundown of our last month of 2008 and the beginnings of 2009:

As noted in the previous post, we left for northern parts early morning on Dec. 16. We ran into a bit of bad weather that extended our trip by about 3 hours, but finally arrived in Goshen around 4:30 a.m. Spent the next 10 days shuttling back and forth between Toledo and Goshen. Despite all the traveling, it was a great time and we ended up getting to see just about everyone we had hoped to see. We took our Nintendo Wii along and spent quite a bit of time playing Wii Sports with Jason's family. Grandpa Ed even got in on the action and played a round of golf! The weather did cooperate better on the drive back to Texas and we made it home in a mere 18 hours. We took our dog Juno with us and she traveled wonderfully. She stayed at my parents' house in Goshen the whole time and seemed to greatly enjoy having a larger space to run around in, having dogs to play with, and having more people to pay attention to her.

For New Year's Eve we got together with some friends to play games and hang out. This past weekend Jason headed back to Goshen (this time on a plane) to attend the wedding of a college friend.

We don't have many big plans for 2009...we hope to attend a few weddings as well as my sister's graduation from Goshen College. Probably the biggest thing on our radar right now is looking for another place to live. Our lease runs out in July and we are hoping to find a cheaper place with a fenced-in yard for Juno.




Until next post,
Mel
