Wow--is it just me, or did a month just come and go without me noticing?
Holy cow has this ever been a crazy month for us! We didn't end up making it to Seattle like we had planned for Christmas since the weather was so rotten both here and there, but we had a nice time here with my family. We got to talk to Ryan on the phone on Christmas Eve from Mozambique, which was a highlight of the week. It's funny, because most of our gifts ended up getting sent up to Seattle initially, so we're still getting things trickling in every day or two. It feels like we got married all over again, lol.
We're planning on spending a quiet evening doing a whole lot of nothing but being lazy for New Year's Eve tomorrow, and that should be really enjoyable. My first goal for the new year will be to get a short story I'm working on finished up this week and submit it to a magazine. We'll see how that goes; I've been recording audio notes via my mp3 player (thanks Janet and Grandma Fawcett, that's where the b-day money you sent me went to!) and I'm trying to do the drafting in the evenings when I get home, but it's proving more time-consuming than I would have expected to knock out a 7500 word story. Oh, well.
So do any of you out there have any new year's resolutions you want to share? Feel free to comment.
