Because Lauren requested:

Christmas festivities are over, on with the New Year. We had a fun Christmas, it was different this year- being married. We got alot of ‘together’ gifts. We got (or rather I got) a Martha Stewart Housekeeping book- that thing is ginormous! But its very interesting. We both got alot of clothes which is wonderful. We got a new computer desk from my parents because we now ned a place to put our printer instead of on the floor beside the computer cart. We received some money from his grandparents and parents- can we say savings! Tuesday we had our friends Darin and Jaime over for dinner (it just happened that way). I made lasagna with my mom’s supervision so i didn’t screw anything up. I do need a bigger pan though! Last night I got the stomach bug and man did that suck! I dont know if its because I got a reflexology treatment done yesterday that released everything and it just showed up. I was drinking tons of water to flush out those toxins. Last night- despite beginning to get sick- Joe’s parents took us out to dinner at a nice old resort area outside of Lancaster county and near Reading- it was neat. I had Chicken Alfredo but couldnt eat it all. Friday and Saturday we intend to catch up with some friends that are in town for the Holidays. That will be a lot of fun. Saturday we are going with another friend of Joe’s that was in the wedding, Kevin, to Shady Maple Smorgesboard with Joe’s annual gift card. The two of them use to go and now I am invited since he took me last yr when Kevin wasn’t in town. Lucky me lol!

Speaking of savings earlier- we are considering buying a house, since there is alot of equity in home owning, rent sucks you of money that could be used for monthly payments and Joe has stocks that we can use for a downpayment. So if you think about it pray for us as we decide what is best.

Well I guess I going to get ready and try to make it in to work despite the fact that I still feel weak. Wish me luck!
