January

Soo this month has been incredibly busy!! The first weekend in January we were obviously in Hot Springs.. But after that we were smacked in the face with reality.. The second weekend, was the first competition of the year for all of my new little tumblers. They did a great job and were a bunch of show offs. Stephen stayed home that day since I was only going to be driving there and driving back. That same weekend my upper levels stayed home and participated in a clinic for trampoline. On Sunday we all met back at the gym for a "kick off" party and team pictures. The third weekend we were in Knoxville, TN for another competition. Stephen and I actually LOVE Knoxville and I think, secretly wished we had gone there for college. It is just such a neat city. However the meet was cruel! 13 hours straight of coaching and judging (for Stephen). Basically we got back to the room that night and passed out. Last weekend, we again spent the morning at the gym for Stephen to get his recertification and I had some lessons. Then we drove to Durham to see RENT with Carole Ann and Kristi! It was A M A Z I N G!! I absolutely loved it and could watch it 100 more times.. We then went and had dinner, and then spent a few hours back at Carole Ann's apartment looking for places for her to live when she moves to Chicago in May. :(
Sunday started off with brunch at Holly and Caleb with lots of friends, proceeded and followed by lots of entertainment by Liam! He is just so darn cute! After that we came home and watched a movie and then spent the rest of the afternoon organizing our house and preparing the week. In between weekends, we have been working ALOT and Stephen has started back in school.. Things are busy, busy, busy and we are looking forward to a relaxing weekend sometime in the future!

Ahhh.. Vacation..

Better late than never right.. Here are some pictures from our trip to Hot Springs, Virginia where we celebrated Christmas/New Years with family. Stephen and I had 5 days off in a ROW can you believe and so on New Years Eve, along with Carole Ann and Bella, we drove up to meet Ann, Donna, Ryan and Mark. We had an absolute wonderful time resting, eating, playing card games, eating, playing the Wii (and getting so competitive that we break the overhead light fictures.. hehe Ryan..), hiking, watching movies, did I mention eating. It was so hard to come back to reality afterwards, but sure enough we all had too. Hopefully we will be back up there sooner than later!
