More of an Update Than Anything Else

It seems hard to believe that the last time I posted was over two months ago...my goodness how time flies! Life has been very busy in the past two months.

November: I started my new job as the Events and Visit Coordinator at Trinity. Our first major event was November 9-10, the Taste of Trinity. I got a small glimpse of what I am going to be planning--I say "small" because I was a little too overwhelmed to understand what minute details had to be worked out.

Then came Thanksgiving. Jeremy and I stayed here in the Chicagoland area and had dinner with our friends Eric & Abbey Toohey (our former upstairs neighbors). The turkey was the best I'd ever had (perhaps it had something to do with all the butter?).

December: Before we knew it, December was upon us. My finals week was the week before Jeremy's finals week, so we had two weeks of end-of-the-semester craziness. It actually worked out really well because we didn't both need the computer at the same time. We both passed our classes and I am looking forward to next semester. Because Jeremy is a full-time student, I can audit a class for free at Trinity. I am going to take "American Church History" with Jeremy on Tuesday nights through Trinity. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I am taking "The Academic Library" and the intro. course into my degree. I'm excited about all the classes. :)

For Christmas, I had an entire week off of work (paid!), so we drove back to Nebraska. We spent time with a lot of people, including both our families. It was great to be back to Nebraska, but we were glad to get home, too. It was a nice realization that our apartment really feels like home.

New Year's Eve was great--we hosted a small party for some of our friends. We played many board games and had plenty to eat. Apparently my chocolate chip cookie recipe is also good with a mix of peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. :) It was an experiment suggested by Jeremy and seemed to go over well--in our party AND in the office. :)

So we are about caught up with life now. We have enjoyed relaxing before the semester starts. Things are starting to gear up for the two Spring Tastes of Trinity. I am really excited about being able to take the reins for this.

Anyway, overall, life is great! We still really enjoy our apartment and campus life.

Happy New Year!
