Where have I been?

I think I definately put my life of telling you all what is going on with us on hold while we were in the states. (thankfully, Dan didn't totally!) Even now, I can't show you all the pictures we took during our wonderful time because they are with Dan and he is at a linguistics conference! My procrastination got the best of me once we arrived back in the Philippines and I never did download the pictures before he left. Regardless, I thought I'd give you ten of my favorite things about being home for Christmas. (much delayed and in no particular order!)

10. chilly weather (actually needing a jacket!)

9. meeting Cory, my sister's boyfriend

8. walking our dog Molly (Molly thinks the leash is a toy and just wants to bite it, but eventually gets tired and is a great walking partner!)

7. seeing two of my best friends, Tricia and Ginny

6. spending time with my new mom-in-law, Belinda

5. eating lunch with my daddy at his work, ebanr (check it out! ebanr.com) and riding his lift that goes 30 feet in the air that he uses to hang signs.

4. spending the night at my sister, Anne's house (David lives there also!) It was fun to catch up with them the first night we arrived and sad to say goodbye the last night before we left.

3. lots of Mom time :)

2. Christmas Eve and Christmas day, just being together with family

1b. Family! Family! Family!

1a. anniversary trip to Atlanta with the best husband in the world!
