The last few weeks have been hectic but wonderful. Christmas was awesome. I got stuff for my Cricut, a digital camera (YEA!) and 2 blueberry bushes. The down side: I haven't planted them yet as we are going below 32 at night. By Monday, the weather is suppose to warm a bit. As a die-hard Floridian now, 32 is way too cold.
A few weeks before Christmas, I was asked to take over a World History class for a homeschool co-op. So this Friday I start a new adventure in teaching a small group of high schoolers (about 10 kids). It will be different than anything I've done before, as much of the work is done by the students before class. The class is primarily for discussion and analysis of information. It should be lots of fun and keep me off the streets.
On December 29, Hubby and I celebrated 25 incredible years of marriage. As I was only 21 when I got married (and Hubby only 20), we are a statistical anomaly. That's A-Okay by me. I definitely hit the jackpot with my hubby. He is the best. We make an absolutely phenomenal match. We grew up together and fortunately grew together. Without being too preachy, I also give much credit to our shared faith and the power of the Holy Spirit. Being involved in marriage ministries like Engaged Encounter has kept our focus on the bigger picture. The best things in my life stem from my decision to marry Hubby. I am one lucky gal. That night the girls went with us to the Melting Pot for a great fondue dinner.
The whole evening was fun. I really enjoy spending time with my girls. They are neat people and even if I weren't related to them, I would want to spend time with them. The Imp didn't really like the whole cooking her own food at the table thing at the Melting Pot and after cooking 4 pieces of meat said, "Can't we just dump all the meat in the pot at once?" I don't think she'll be going back to the Melting Pot, although she did think the food was delectable and she may go back just for the chocolate fondue dessert. To top off a great day, our waitress was extremely fabulous. 
On the 30th we drove to SC and then on Jan 2 we got to renew our wedding vows with my dad officiating. 2 of my brothers (and their families) were there as well. I really teared up during the recitation of our vows. "In good times and in bad.." has a whole different meaning after 25 years of good and bad. To have Hubby look me in the eye and tell me he still loves me was sensational and powerful. It's not something I will soon forget. I'm so glad we did it.
And the pictures were taken with my new digital camera!
I continue to be content with my life and think 2010 is going to be a great year.
