Christmas is long gone!

The snow didn't stop us! After waiting in line at the tire store to purchase some chains for Jonah's car (it was stuck at my house, and he was at work) for 45 minutes, and seeing tons of people get turned away because they didn't have their size, we got our chains and made it home for Christmas! It was a very quick trip, but well worth it. AJ's personality is really starting to show! He is so hilarious, loves to play and loves his "Mama." This saturday is his 2nd birthday party! Here are some pics of the christmas festivities...

Remember the red beanie at thanksgiving? AJ was quick to find Chris' blue beanie. He did this hat combo on his own. My sister says the first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is put a hat on. So cute!

I decided to check out MY digital-macro setting, too.

My sweet little mommy.

Ya-ya got AJ this weird looking rat/mouse puppet. He would throw things at it and laugh and run away. Uncle E liked to play with it, too!

Meet Ray and Julia, our sweet new friends.

wayyy too much snow now

Chris, Colin, Ryan, Marlin, Jonah, Eli, Graye at the Doug Fir. We all walked there and met up for some hot toddies. We have SO much snow, I have never lived like this! I tried to take Chris to work on Saturday, but slid everywhere and couldn't make it up hills, so my car is stuck 4 blocks from our apartment. It's been fun walking everywhere, but if it doesn't melt we won't be able to make it down to Corvallis for Christmas! Lets hope it goes away within the next couple days!!
Pony Village in the middle of Burnside. No cars at 8pm.... ghost town!

Winter Wedding

Geoff and Celeste got married at Edgefield on Sunday! Sooo fun! Pictures are out of order, but you get the idea. Such a pretty snowy, winter wedding.

SNOW

"HUGE CHANGES"

"DANGEROUS STORM"

"BAD ACCIDENTS"

Seriously, the news needs to settle down a little. I find it very amusing how the local news stations create a huge buzz around snow. It never even sticks! Maybe this year is different...

We'll see!

I hope it doesn't get too crazy on Sunday. Our friends Geoff and Celeste are getting married at Edgefield. Yay! Can't wait.

Graduated?

I officially finished my last term at PSU on Tuesday night, and I'm done! After my final I went to my work and my nice regulars, Curtis and Wayne, bought me a celebratory drink. They were so excited! It was nice to celebrate right after my final. But now, it feels very strange to not get up early and head to campus on a Thursday morning. I'm going to need to find a new hobby, because I only work 4 nights a week right now, and I think I'm going to go nuts... Any ideas? I will play more guitar, cook more meals, clean the little apartment more, and do more laundry. Those are the things that have been avoided while I was in school.

Also, as I was checking out everyone's blogs and waching The View, I spilled tea ALL down my sweatshirt. Nice.

Hmmm.... maybe we should have a baby!

(AJ was upset... but still trying to smile. Ha!)
Our babe for now :)
Just kidding! ( But seriously, I'm a little baby crazy. Hormones? My age? AJ? )

ALMOST THERE...

One paper to write today, two to turn in tomorrow...

Two papers to write this weekend, one to finish...

One final on Tuesday evening...

Then...

I'm done with undergraduate courses and will be receiving my
BS in Psychology in June!
