Happy New Year!

I don't do resolutions anymore.  I think making a goal for an entire year, that you know you will break anyway, is pointless.  Instead, I make about a million little goals for myself throughout the year, and meet them that way.  For example, finishing my Masters and gifted endorsement within 2 years, looking at Idaho properties, etc.  BUT, if you made a resolution, good luck!

For Christmas, we had the pleasure of hosting Zach, Jeremy's brother, for a week.  We had a blast, and I hope he will move down here from Oregon when he graduates.  We played Super Nintendo, ate lots of food, they drake superb beer (I'm told) and went to a basketball game in Athens, visited Jer at work, and did the Christmas thing at my parents' house.  Here are some pics:

This Christmas has been the first Christmas since 1866 that Georgia got snow!  We had ourselves a truly white Christmas.  Ryan and Lindsay came back to our house later for a poker night, then a snowball fight.  It was TOTALLY worth the busted lip I got when I tried to tackle Ryan.

Then, for New Year's Eve, Shannon, Melissa, her friends, and I went to McCray's Tavern in downtown for dinner, then Melissa's house for some Apples to Apples (super fun game if you've never played) and Dick Clark's Time Square show.  All in all, we had a blast- lots of laugh to you cry moments.  :)   (Jeremy  had to work at Ted's, so he didn't join us.)
