So, after telling AT&T who's boss, we finally got our internet card figured out... what a pest it is to think you have something like a warranty (that you pay for) and have them deny and deny you that something is broken. Oh when you have only had it for a little over 2 months and it is not working right in front of your eyes?! Anyway... we got it all figured out and I am now able to update our blog.
So... Christmas was... interesting. Our awesome dog Doc ran away on Christmas eve and we were not able to go out to Lance's parents for the holiday for fear he would come back when we were not there. Christmas was great, Lance and I got each other clothes for (which were much needed, I think) and we were able to spend time with both families this year. Lance's parents were able to come out the day after Christmas... It was so nice to have dinner at our house with them, we finally felt the Christmas spirit. We went and saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button... which I LOVED! The break from school has been nice, I have been deep cleaning our house. Also, the Bradley/Rands craze is knitting scarves... we bought some looms (like the hat making ones, but different) and I have been going crazy.. buying yarn and making scarves. It's really easy, and I think they look cute. I have also been reading harry potter, I finished #6 and started #7 and I am totally a HP addict.
There is still no sign of Doc, but we have been calling the local vet hospital, visiting the animal shelters and keeping in contact with the dog catcher. Our hopes are still high that we may find or that he will come home.
Happy holidays! .... and I hope that you find that you are having a GOOD NEW YEAR!
