Hi friends and family! Again, I apologize for the lack of updates, but I figure most people who might read this we already talk to rather regularly. But, by request, here is an update.
-Gary did well in his first quarter of classes. He is now coming to the end of the second quarter, taking Greek II and Medieval Reformation. On Wednesday he attended a special event at Fuller - there was a viewing of A Beautiful Mind followed by a talk/question-answer session by John Nash, the man whom the movie was based upon.
-He still super loves his job and enjoys going each time! :)
-The baby I watch is close to 15 months old and keeping me busy! He is adorable and fun (when he's not teething!).
-I am still working at VS on Sunday afternoons, is was only about once a month, but will now pick up as another girl left.
-We are keeping busy with church - Gary plays in worship band 2x/month, I attend a young women's book study, and we are very involved with our young couples group - often getting together multiple times each week. These 6 couples (well, 5 plus us) have become our core group of friends with whom we've spent the holidays and most of our free time.
-We recently celebrated our 5 year anniversary (from when we began dating) and Gary planned in outing in Santa Barbara to celebrate. We went to the zoo (where we attended an elephant's birthday party!), did some shopping, and had a fabulous dinner.
-We have both been sick a lot, which has added to my lack of time/ability to blog. I was in the hospital in mid-December which set us majorly behind on everything for the holidays, but we got through it (although, our families are yet to receive gifts from us - sorry!). We've both been sick back and forth over the last several weeks which has certainly not been very fun :(
-Tomorrow we will have a house guest, a friend of Gary's (who I also knew in college) will be coming through town & checking out Fuller.
-Somehow, Gary managed to grow up without watching Boy Meets World, so we recently went through got and watched all of the seasons - and he loved it!! Now we are sharing other favorites with each other as we watch Kings and Gilmore Girls.
I think that's most of it! If you want to know more - or just chat - give us a call anytime!
I have had requests for pictures - I have not had time to edit/select them for Facebook, so I am putting links here with all unedited photos (yes, even the blurry yucky ones - lol) for those who are interested :)
