New Year plans

For new year's eve, Jody and I are planning a quiet night at home. We will go to Jody's Mom's house after Mass this morning.

Friday evening we stayed up late with a good friend, Curtis. We ate dinner together, went swimming in the pool ,and crocheted, and chatted. It was very fun.

For my friends and family, I wish the best for the new year. And for us too. I will be finishing my Bachelors Degree in spring. It will be a year of adventure and changes. Who knows where we will all be a year from now?

men knit

I found these two fun videos on youtube.com. The first is a trailer for a movie about the new trend: manly knitters. The second is a response to the first. It is verry funny.

Christmas cheer

The managers at our apartment complex have opened the pool for two weeks to celebrate the holiday season. That is really nice of them. They have also decorated the community room, with a tree and lights. I am glad that we ended up moving here, it has turned out to be a nice neighborhood- quiet and friendly. I haven't taken knitting down to work on by the fireplace yet, but that sounds like a good idea. Christmas is less than a week away now. What fun- our first Christmas together!



We have nothing to complain about, but check out this fun choir!

december update

Since I last wrote an update on this blog, we have had a very hectic time. Jody has been sick for about a month, and I have been sick since Thanksgiving. Today we are starting to put the house in order again. Jody is doing dishes, and I am working on the living room. My next task is vacuuming.
School is over for the term, and I have signed up for next term. It should be a good term- I am taking my senior capstone, contemplative practices, and Hebrew 302, and meybe (probably) a linguistics class also. I haven't signed up for that yet- Ling 410 community activism. Books aren't available yet for next term, but as soon as they are, I will go into PSU and get them. I already have the book for Hebrew, and I plan on spending at least an hour a day studying for that class. I finally started my Hebrew blog, and put an embedded video of Chava Alberstein on it. Jody showed me how to do that, and it wasn't at all difficult. Youtube provides the code, and all I had to do was copy and paste onto the blog post. Jody has been putting lots of videos on our joint blog, teamramey.
