I was a bad blogger in December, but for good reason!
Not much happened.
Well, that might not be true. My job is new and exciting. The people that I work with are smart and funny. I knew I was in good hands when I saw the Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness on the fridge at work.
Josh visited me for his birthday, so I surprised him with a trip to Wilmington. I rented a boat for the evening. We stayed on the Jubilee Snooze ‘N Cruise.
Look at how much fun these people are having! I was terrible at taking pictures on this trip, mostly because we drank two bottles of wine and ate yummy food. The owners of the boat served us dinner, and we sat and talked with the old man while we ate. He informed us that Samuel L. Jackson will film a movie on his boat this month. Also, while sitting in the lounge area of the boat, we saw Virginia Madsen making out with some young guy. We experience the most random celebrity sightings.
Then Josh went back to Arizona and I went back to taking care of things in Raleigh-Durham. I found us a place to live at the end of November, a super-cute townhouse with a 1-year lease until we decide where we want to live (or buy!). Blah blah blah new furniture blah blah blah move-in inspections blah blah blah.
On December 22nd I headed back to Arizona with a tickle in my throat. Aside from a couple of nights out with friends, the rest of my time was spent in bed. I am still resentful of my third coldlflu in six months for stealing my final desert days from me. That cold did not steal my ability to make three delicious pies with my baby sister: Apple with Crumb Topping, Pecan, and S’mores (yeah, S’mores). Christmas was wonderful, as always. Blah blah blah I got more than I deserve blah blah blah I liked giving gifts more this year. I love my family.
On December 27th, Josh, Jackson, Alex (there’s a reason he was Josh’s best man, he came all the way to help us move!) and I embarked on Day 1 of our three-day cross-country voyage. Again. It was not as fun the second time around, but at least it’s our last time for a long while.
New Year’s was uneventful, due to exhaustion from moving in and being sick. Blah blah blah resolutions blah exercise more blah blah eat better blah blah.
So, I guess a lot happened in December. And a lot is happening in January. We have more to do before our house feels like a home. I start grad school soon. Work is going to be insane. I need to update this thing more so that I stop having gargantuan updates. I have lots of posts in mind, but I never manage to sit down to write them. I still need to write my year-end recap. Crap.
Anyway. We are almost completely unpacked. We are here. We are stressed out. We are happy.
Happy New Year, friends.
