Dustin has been playing around some with the camera the last few days and is having a good time with it. Here are a few of the pictures that he took today on our day off of school.

Resolutions

We decided that this year we were going to join the masses and make 2009 the year to get in shape! Last week we joined a local gym, Planet Fitness, and have really enjoyed working out. I never realized how much working out could clear the mind and give so much more energy. We have gone nearly every day and hopefully will be able to keep it up. (My Tuesday and Wednesday night classes could pose a slight problem.)

As most of you know, this past Fall, we took a Financial Peace class through our church. We have been working hard at paying off our debt, and hope to be out of it except for our home within the next few years. We highly recommend taking the course if your church offers it! It will be frustrating and hard but worth it.

Help keep us accountable!

Christmas and New Years 2008

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Well, now that our vacation is over, I finally have time to post about it!  We were very busy over break, but had a wonderful time with all the family.  We were able to see the Nieter's for a few days, then down to North Carolina to visit Dustin's grandparents, then his parents, brother, and his girlfriend came up to visit for a few days.  Then it was back to Chesapeake to drop the dog off and head to Indiana for a week!  I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see "real" snow from Indiana, but was happy that temperature was above zero (it had been below that the week before we went up there)!

We are now at home relaxing and getting back into the swing of things at work.
