New Year!

It is 2010 now and we're ready to get going again. School started today for me and I went to my first class. This semester I only have two classes on campus (three if you count lab) and the rest are online. I hope I can organize and stay on top of things with my own motivation. Jeff is still waiting for his CFA results and should be getting those back on January 27th. I hope that this will be good news for him and I believe that it will.

Our Christmas was pretty good. We had Andrea over on Christmas Eve and we started on stuffing and cheesy potatoes for Christmas lunch with Nathan and Jen before we settled into some enjoyment of Christmas movies. Christmas morning was enjoyable and Santa treated us all well. Jeff and I got a king size down comforter on Black Friday and we have been LOVING it. It is nice and toasty and big enough that when one of us hogs the cover there is still some left over. We also got a really cool calendar frame from Andrea and we're excited to use that. Christmas day was also nice and we were able to talk to my parents on the phone and see Jeff's parents briefly before going over to Nathan and Jen's. We enjoyed our time with them also and spending time with the boys. They made a delicious turkey and ham and all the fixings lunch and it was delicious.

New Years Eve was spent with Jeff's sister and bro-in-law, Julie and Jeff. They hosted a Murder Mystery dinner (set in Egypt) and it was pretty enjoyable. We were assigned characters and dressed our parts. Jeff and I ended up being "old flames" and according to our part of the story Jeff killed my fiancee years ago in order to be with me. It was pretty fun to try to figure things out.

We're excited for 2010 and to accomplish the things that we have set out to do for ourselves. I'm hoping to finish school sometime in August and Jeff is hoping to pass CFA Level 1 and move onto test for Level 2 in the summer. Hope everyone else is having a good beginning to their New Year also :)
