2012 Updates

I'm getting behind on updating this blog. January's weather was very mild here in NC. We had several days in the 60s. It has recently turned cold, but no snow yet.

Beth came to visit us the last weekend in January. Unfortunately I did not get any good pictures. We did get some good food and we were able to spend some time together. I love time with my dear sister.

Dane and I watched the Super Bowl at Zac and Karen's house with some of our other friends from Div School.

I think that the biggest thing that has happened in the last month is that Dane and I started going to the gym after work every day. Tomorrow it will be 5 weeks. Dane read somewhere that if you can do something for 5 weeks it becomes a life change. I think that means we made it! We talked about making this important life change when we were in the Outer Banks. I am so glad we stuck with it!

We think we have finally found a church home while we are here in Durham -New Creation UMC. The church is a racially and culturally inclusive faith community and is located in the heart of Durham.

I asked Dane if there was anything that he wanted to remember from the last month. He said that we need a picture of the Duke win against UNC. Austin Rivers made a 3 at the buzzer and Duke won at UNC.

Here it is, the game winning shot. :)

 

Dane picked these before a freeze a couple of nights ago. I think they look beautiful in our kitchen next to my favorite picture of my Gran. I keep the picture of her sitting next to my grandfather and aunt in her kitchen above my kitchen sink. I treasure the days I spent in her home and in her kitchen. I also have the apron she is wearing in this picture hanging in my kitchen.
