Where did January go?

I can't believe this month is close to being over. Well, it feels like it. I guess we have a couple more weeks. Here are some things that have been happening to us lately:

-Our friend Jake left to go back to NC earlier this month. We hung out with him and his family one last time and played monopoly and ate great food, as usual. (His mom was the one who catered our wedding...I probably gained ten pounds from all the good food we ate at her house while Jake was home.) We've been thinking about him and praying for him and his family as he deployed today and will be on a ship for several months. Playing Monopoly. I don't think we actually got any pictures with Jake himself though hah.


-Also over break, we went out with some friends of ours from school. Feeny, Greg, Jon, Me, and Annmarie :) Night before New Years Eve

-One of the doctors at my work gave me some tickets to a Piston's game, so Jon and I took my parents. It was a great game...they kept things exciting by going into over time and then winning! AND, it happened to be our 5 month anniversary! My parents took us to eat at Chile's before the game, which was a nice treat :) I forgot to mention in my last post that one of my parent's gifts to everyone in my family was tickets to a Michigan basketball game next month. I love college basketball and I'm so excited!
This was the best picture we could get...


-Jon's former roommates from CMU came over to hang out for the night. It's always fun to see our Central friends.The first dorm room they had together was room 212. How adorable.

My least favorite thing that happened this month was that I started a new semester. I feel slightly more prepared taking the second parts of my anatomy and english classes, since I know more of what to expect, and I know that I need to STUDY more. That's always fun. Jon has been waiting and waiting to hear about a new job possibility. He finally got a call today and is going for a final interview tomorrow! This means he will finally have a full time, Monday through Friday job and he can personal train on the side to make more money! We're very excited and praying that everything works out. Speaking of working out, I've been doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (ok well I've only had time to do it about 4 times so far) and it kicks my butt! Anyone who's looking for a good workout, try this! It's only 20 minutes long, but I could hardly get through it the first couple times and it made me so sore the next day. I highly reccommend it.

Well folks, that's all for now.
