Merry Christmas!!!

1st Christmas 2008

Here's one of the many attempts at a family Christmas photo (in between maulings). With the holiday 2 days away it's hard to be focused on anything other than resting, eating and knitting! I'm done with Christmas shopping for Bill and the puppies, I just figure I'll send a box to Emily in Iceland and my family back east once all the hub-bub of Christmas is over and done with.

I did buy myself one special gift though....

SPLURG!!!!!

I can't believe I did it, but so did like 5 other people from my knit group.... enablers! I just hope that I have enough time in between classes, work and other grown-up things to knit the socks before the next package gets sent!

This year has gone by SO fast! I still can't believe it's already the END of December?!

Highlights for 2008:

• The Rosie Creek Flood of 2008 - Tanana River and Chena River flooded.
• Took 3 Grad classes and got A's in all of them.
• Started Weight Watchers.
• Started hanging out with a fantastic group of knitters at ACRC, the Dredge, Mt. Aurora Lodge and Wolf Run.
  
• Got the job as Admissions Counselor for UAF.
• Left Admissions for the Academic Advisor Job at UAF.
  
• Met Bill.
• Moved in with Bill.
• Got Lucy (the puppy).

I'm sure MUCH more happened. These are just some of the MAIN highlights for the year. I can't wait for a quiet, totally uneventful, knitting filled week!

See you next year!
(cause Bill's place is still internetless...)
