Life Lately {Nov-Jan}

Despite my blogosphere hiatis, I still in fact exist!

As a kid, I remember always hearing grown ups in small talk saying how fast the holidays fly by.  I guess it really wasn't small talk at all.  It felt like Halloween & New Years were about a week apart.

Things lately:
I got a new iphone! Whew! I'm pretty sure someone could run the world with this beast.  I havent even fully engaged everything the phone can do, but I'm slowly learning.  I did not hesitate to get a adorable phone cover though.

I was also able to go home for Thanksgiving..  I spent a lot of my time with family and it was wonderful :) So thankful for them.  This is a pic of my cousins daughter.  Seriously such a doll!

Before I knew it, Christmas was here!  This was our cheerful holiday set at work...

Christmas trip home, I got a little of everyone in.. 

The fam:

The Grandma:

The best friends:

To start off the new year, I made the trek east to Pittsburgh and spent it with my other half:

All in all, things have been going pretty alright.  Adjusting to the new temperatures, and had my first experience driving icy roads today, and survived.

Hitting the slopes tomorrow with a youth group from Florida -- heading out to Beckley, West Virginia! Woo!


I'll definitely have some fun posts to follow after this weekend! Cheers!
