It has been a while, I know. After Thanksgiving break, we only had 4 weeks until Christmas break. Since only 2 of those were actually academic weeks, there was much to be done on my part to get ready for exams and vacation. But at long last, Christmas vacation is upon us, and I for one eagerly await it.

Our anniversary was last week- 14 years! We are going away for our anniversary tomorrow. The kids are at their respective places of care, and Rob and I will be driving up the Blue Ridge Parkway toward Asheville, NC.

Be kind while you are Christmas shopping!
