Bye bye 2008!

So, I have not blogged in quite a while. Between working my ASS off and vacay, I haven't really had time. I can say that I am truly enjoying Nick's time off of school. He starts work on Monday and we will be commuting together as much as possible. It is nice to have some time where I get him al to myself. Xmas was ok, Jenn wasn't home so it was weird. Not like I didn't enjoy the rest of the fam it just felt incomplete. My dad, me, Kali, Nick, Sara and Jamie all went bowling one day. I think dad likes the particular alley we went to just for the food. Between us we ate 48 chicken wings, fried mushrooms, fried fish, french fries, and fried shrimp salad. And it was delish! Good memories! And we even got to play taboo a couple of nights while I was home. We went to the caterie one night and that was fun to hang out with Jo and Jude. We used to hang out there all the time, it is weird going back!

Life in St. Augustine is weird right now too! Duncan doodle is with my mom. I now know what it must be like to have someone die. I sometimes find myself talking to or about him as if he was here, may sound strange, but we forget that he isn't here. Poor baby, mom said he had fun running around the yard today, I hope he doesn't get hit by a car like all of the Crosbie dogs of the past! I would die! Work is not going so well. I am completely overwhelmed by the responsibilities I have and I am counting down the days until we hit the road. It is not like I am thrilled to leave St. Augustine, but I sure am looking forward to moving on to new things.

New years was really fun. Nick and I were both pretty plastered. We went out to eat sushi for dinner then met up with friends and went out after. It was kind of funny, we were toasting to the new year and it went as follows... me: "I am excited about 2009, I cant believe you will finally graduate this year and we will be home" Nick: "yes, here's to unemployment and living in a trailer...your right, at least I am graduating" Then we both laughed. It will definitely be a year of many changes. our goal is to go wherever life takes us and to hopefully have jobs and a house by this time next year. But, you never know! At the end of the night we called three different cabs. We ended up being stranded, sitting on our friends door step in the cold waiting almost an hour for one to show up, we laughed again saying "So, I guess this is how our year is going to start" :) We finally got picked up eventually and ended up going to bed at 4 in the morning. We woke up late today, went out to lunch and went to see Benjamin Button. It was a good movie, but pretty sad. After, we went next door to the Hallmark store because ll xmas ornaments are 50 percent off and we don't have many. We decided to buy each other a xmas ornament every year. Nick bought me one that is really pretty that has Noel written on it which is my middle name. I got him a Santa on a surf board so that we will remember that it is from St. Augustine. We also bought a gold cross and a turtle. I will miss it here, we are collecting boxes and we booked a moving company. I am nervous but excited.

I hope everyone had a nice New Year and stayed safe. Hopefully, I will be posting pics soon.
