Max and Mae

Our "good" computer is still sick, so I have been a little less in the picture uploading mood here lately, so I decided to work on my blogging goal, pictures or not!  I still plan to recap a couple of months with pics when I finally get them, but here are a few things going on around here these days.

Right before we left to go to Mississippi for Christmas, Chris and I went to Valdosta one morning, and when we returned home we heard a sad little meow coming from the empty house across the street.  So I, being the "animal enthusiast," checked it out.  This sweet, tiny little kitten came running to me as soon as she saw me.  Then, Max came barrelling out of our house towards me and the kitten I had just picked up.  Naturally, I freaked out when the kitten started going crazy and jumped out of my arms - to run TO Max!!! She was only a few weeks old at the time, and has now adopted us.  Her name is Mae.  Mae and Max are friends and love to snuggle :)

Other than that, things have been pretty much routine since we got back from Christmas.  We work during the week and hang out on the weekends with a few pinterest projects and basketball games here and there.  The neighboring kids have came over the past two days for basketball games and football throws. 

After a parts reorder, Chris finally got his smoker put together tonight and is now in cooking mode! He has a mile-long list of things he wants to cook in it!  We are also hoping to go on a camping trip soon in our new tent. 

Our computer is sick :(

So, I decided that I was going to be a better blogger... and our computer got a virus (actually 2)! For now, I will make do with what I have and fill in that two and a half month gap when I get my pictures from that time. 

In December, I FINALLY GRADUATED! Woo hoo! I now have a BS in Biology and have no idea what to do with it, but that's totally OKAY! We had some awesome guests for the festivities, including Moms (Tina & Elaine), Dads (Huey and Mitchell) and a "surprise" visit by Addy, Brook and Laken :)    (Sorry, Laken, you ran from the camera, so we don't have any pics of you.)

 

The next weekend we went to Atlanta to shop for Christmas.  Then before we knew it, Christmas was here, and we were in Mississippi!

This is my new little buddy, Jackson!

(more pics to come - the old laptop is not cooperating very well)

Christmas was great; we got way too many presents that have been put to some good use.  We also got to see all the family (that includes you too, Courtney).  I have sore arms right now from playing basketball using our new basketball goal, and we had the time to play while Rudy the Roomba vacuumed our house!! :)

We spent New Years Eve at Billijean's shooting fireworks and sitting by the fire.  She and I got dressed up to take some pictures.  That only lasted about 10 minutes (ha ha).

(Once again, pics to come later)

Hope that our newer computer gets a good treatment and gets over the viruses very quickly.
