Reflecting

Over the past couple of weeks, we've been to Lubbock for a weekend, San Antonio for a week, I got my wisdom teeth removed, David is currently sick, we're celebrating the new year on our couch, together, in our pajamas- just the way we like it, and I've got a big list of crafts- which I will share upon completion.

Lubbock. Lubbock was fantastic. It was so incredible to see our friends. I mean we have made friends here, but to be around friends who know us deeply and care for us, that hit the spot. And, we got to see Philip and Sarah tie the knot! Woohoo! So excited for them. I also discovered that I am unnaturally white. I might as well be an albino, it's quite sad my lack of color.

San Antonio. San Antonio was refreshing. We got in late Thursday night, and I got my wisdom teeth pulled early Friday morning. Oh joy. Needless to say, I did not get to enjoy as much Mexican food as I was hoping to. I slept all day Friday, most of Saturday, and napped once on Sunday. David's mom came and stayed with us for the weekend, so he got to spend some good quality time with her. Monday, I had appointments, and David and I had some last minute Christmas gifts to grab. Then Tuesday was Christmas Eve! We spent the day cooking and decorating the house for our big dinner, then we headed off to church. Dinner was delicious. I was saving all of my chewing energy for that night- and it was so worth it. It was great to catch up with my "family" too. (Our "family" in San Antonio is our old neighbors and we love getting together with them). Wednesday, we did breakfast at my mom's then we headed off to my dad's where we opened gifts, relaxed, and ate yummy food. I got a new camera (Nikon D5200), which I am thrilled to take tons of pictures with to share with y'all! Thursday we ate lunch at my personal favorite, Alamo Cafe, then headed off to the airport. It was a super relaxing and filling trip.

Since being home, we've done some shopping, got a 2 year gym membership to the mega-gym right by our apartment (so pumped!), I've been working, David's been relaxing and trying to recover, and today we bought all kinds of crafts for me to do!

Crafts. You've been warned, I'm going to post a how to for each craft I'm making, so be on the lookout!

Looking back on 2013, it has been a busy year! We got married, went on a cruise, I had my first full-time job, we moved to Colorado, hiked a fourteener, David started grad school and working at a mega church, I started teaching in a daycare, we've made new friends, put a cat down, got a dog, I had my first surgery (wisdom teeth), and so much more! It has been a year full of blessings and we are looking forward to next year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
