The reason/reasons I have not blogged recently:
- We have been crazy busy.
- We are switching over to a new photo editing/storage program.
- We have had some special visitors.
- I am lazy.
- All of the above.
If you chose #5, all of the above, you would have been correct! The most recent reason is that I am being lazy. Plus, if I blog about it, it is over. And who wants Christmas to be O*V*E*R?
To begin with, the semester is over. Let me repeat. The semester is over. We are all still alive. Everyone ended with respectable grades. We survived our first semester of marriage, a new community, high school and early morning seminary. I am so proud of all of us!
During finals week, my parents came to visit from Provo, Utah. They, however, forgot to bring the snow with them! We had a great time while they were here. We studied (Papa did pretty well on his Freshman English final) ate, shopped, laughed, talked, wrapped presents, slept and repeated it all over about 6 times!
While they were here, Kat unfortunately mentioned that she had a school project to work on. It was a project regarding Greek columns. Thanx to Papa we all know WAY more about columns than we ever wanted to! But, we were able to complete the the project four weeks before it was due. We had to take pictures, at three separate locations, of the three different types of columns.Not only did we complete the project for Kat, we also completed it for her friend from school. Please note, only two pictures were taken at the same time and the same place. We took sixteen pictures at different times! Here is an example of one of the columns.
On the Friday after finals competed, we took a quick tour of downtown Nashville and went to Opry Mills Mall and Opryland Hotel.
Here is another pop quiz. Is our family tree #1 or #2?
#1
#2
Yes, our family tree is #2. Opryland Hotel has some beautiful decorations and some fun shops. Here are some pictures from when we were walking around the hotel.
