New Year's Eve 2008

So it's almost 2009.  It's hard to believe 2008 is done and I'll be graduating from college this coming May.

We had a good Christmas, small and simple.  I missed seeing my extended family, but it was absolutely wonderful to be at home with just the four of us - no dealing with idiosyncracies, no family feuds.  There were not nearly as many gifts under the tree as there have been in the past, but that was okay.  We enjoyed the rest and relaxation of spending a day at home in our pajamas.

Christmas evening we celebrated my 22nd birthday.  Again, uneventful but good.  Josh made me a delicious cake and he cooked the random variety of foods I requested.

My 1/2 Birthday!

Today is my half birthday.  The day of the year I get to celebrate my birthday since my real birthday falls on Christmas.  (I still celebrate then, too, but this gives me a separate day like everyone else).  Not a big deal, just a small celebration with cake and a few small gifts.  This year, though, we have to wait and celebrate on Friday.  Mom & Dad forgot about it until I reminded them on Monday, and Mom had a meeting tonight.  I'm a little bummed, especially because Mom didn't tell me until this late afternoon that we'd have to postpone the celebration.  Oh well.  I suppose I can wait.  ;)

Today I am exhausted, thanks to having no caffeine whatsoever.
