New Year

Well our new years plans didn't come off as planned. Derrick ended up in the ER being diagnosed with diverticulitis. So we had a low key night with antibiotics and pain meds.

We did talk a bit and made some plans for the year to come. We want to eat healthier, exercise more and all that stuff. We are both going to try and focus some on our careers. I hope to take my real estate licensing test this month and hit the ground running! We also want to market the condo better so that our occupancy is higher.

Alex still had friends over and some fireworks were lit. I think they all had a nice time. It was the first time that they all got together since some went away to school.

The pugs are pictured above the way the spent the new years, ironically this was also their resolution. To spend more time in this position. Missing from the picture is Goblin and Angus.

Relaxing Knitting

On Sunday some of the members of my knitting group came over and we spent 4 hours knitting, chatting and snacking. It was so nice to sit and relax. Michelle and Tina worked on socks, Maggie on a baby blanket, Abby on legwarmers, Betty on a shawl, Robin on her cardigan and I worked on Alex's fingerless mitts as well as my Ingenue sweater.

Maggie brought her two week old daughter Margaret. Oooo baby noises. She was so sweet.

The weather was unseasonably warm, we had the door open and the thermostat read 75 degrees.

I was so proud of how nice the house looked, still decorated for the holidays. I might be sad to see it all come down next week.

I also received my certificate certifying that I have completed my real estate course. Now I need to find a broker to work with and take my licensing test. Then I'll be ready to work!
