Merry Christmas

To all who found our little spot on the web from the Christmas card, welcome.

This year has been quite a year. We celebrated our 5 year anniversary in January. We went to Hermann, MO, and stayed in a B&B for the weekend. It was really relaxing, however there was an ice storm a few days earlier, and when we were leaving, the weather was questionable. Thankfully we made it home ok. In April we visited the beautiful country of Ireland. If you scroll down, you will see pictures and be able to read stories. To sum, it was great, and I would recommend it to anyone.

In June, we learned that we were expecting a new little person (still a surprise baby). February 7th is coming faster than I thought it would. Brian and I have been working on the house, trying to get all of the little home improvement projects done. It's getting close, we may just make it. Right now the baby's room looks like a disaster area, with boxes and stuff sitting around. I have time off until the end of the year so, I suppose I will try to get stuff straightened out.

Work for me has been crazy. As I am pregnant, I'm not working in the lab, so I've been writing reports....for the last 6 months. We had a huge project that got finished up the end of September, and then its been smaller projects with tight deadlines. Brian is working on finishing up his Ph.D. (hopefully in May). He finished up all of the course work, but is now working on his dissertation, and teaching a few undergraduate classes.

Brian and I hope that you have a great holiday season, Merry Christmas.
