Happy Post-Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! Some highlights of our trip to Knoxville...

-Daniel and I taking the wrong way and having to go all the way through Chattanooga
-A "whose baby picture is this?" game where the prize was a very old picture of my granddad in a Speedo
-My cousin Zack looking so grown up that we didn't recognize him
-Daniel's birthday
-Making cinnamon bread and cookies with my sister and cousin Ali
-My cousin Christopher puking up his Thanksgiving dinner on the side of the road
-Stopping at a huge outlet mall on Black Friday
-Putting up the Christmas tree when we got back to our apartment
-Delicious Thanksgiving dinner!!!!

It might make me a nerd, but...

hanging out and making cinnamon bread with a 10, 12, and 14 year old and being forced to watch Disney channel shows is a lot more fun than some other things I've done in my life. :)

New phone numbers

Daniel and I both got new phone numbers. Mine is 615-589-5042 and Daniel's is 615-589-5016. We have unlimited minutes again and now we can actually use them so call us whenever... no more internet phone!

The end of the semester is coming up really fast. I registered for next semester's classes today. I'll be taking...
-Interpersonal Communication
-Mass Communication and Society
-Media Writing
-Tennessee History
-History of the US I
-Computer Orientation (hopefully this should be a really easy class; I'm required to take a computer class and I didn't really want to learn how to write CSS)

2 of those classes are online so that will give me a little more sleeping time in the mornings. So I am definitely excited about that!

5 minute update

Sorry for the lack of posts...we have been really busy lately! I am trying to keep my grades up since the end of the semester is coming up. Right now I have all A's and I'm trying to keep them there. I made an A on the last test in my crazy history class (thanks to the 20 point curve!) so even that's going ok. Plus registration is coming up in a few days so I have been seeing my advisors and all that stuff. I'm also starting to research graduate schools. Apparently not a lot of schools in Tennessee have graduate programs for communications so that might take a while.

Daniel has been really busy too. There is a field behind our apartment that is absolutely covered with the bulldozed remains of a forest, about 10 feet deep. Daniel discovered a crevice in the brush and has made himself a little hidey hole complete with a "chair" (made out of sticks) and a "fireplace" (made out of bricks). So he has been spending a lot of time there :)

We're not going to be in Memphis for Thanksgiving this year because we are going to Knoxville to see my mom's family. I haven't seen any of them since our wedding so I am really excited about that! We'll be in Memphis for a whole week at Christmas time though, something like 22-28ish.

Also one of my all-time favorite shows, 3rd Rock from the Sun, has been syndicated for reruns on TVLand so we have been spending way too much time watching it!
