Katelyn!


We brought in the New Year by having Katelyn come stay in Ames. I met the Griffith parents in Parkersburg on Friday. I was thankful for their thoughtfulness at bringing her halfway. Well, Katelyn and I were just like two little girls on a weekend long sleep-over. Kyle worked both Saturday and Monday, so I introduced Katelyn to all the wonders of Ames, mainly Hyvee Chinese, Kyle and I's favorite thrift store, Goodwill, and DVDs at the public library. We had a lot of fun picking out 5 great chick flicks and proceeded to watch them, inspite of Kyle.
We celebrated New Year's Eve will pizza coutesy of Katelyn and watched That Darn Cat, I had never even heard of this movie, and delightedly laughed through the whole thing. We enjoyed bubbly at midnight in our Goodwill bought wine glasses. Since Kyle doesn't have cable we listened to the count down on the radio, while both Kyle and Katelyn participated in some ritual that involved opening both the doors. Thanks TT! We had a lot of fun and we loved having Katelyn around. I look forward to a crazy year and I will try to keep you all posted on what is happening in my world. Happy New Year!


Happy New Year!

What an exciting year 2007 has been. I finished my next to last semester at Iowa State. That seems to be the most exciting thing I can think of. It was one of the most stressful semesters of my college career. Of course, the summer before was also full of tears. I took an American Sign Language course, that still out weighs any class I took at ISU in the difficulty category. Needless to say I am glad that is all behind me.
