 Fisher:Sayward Christmas
Unfortunately the only pictures I have are of our impromtu dinner. We had a shrimp and spiral honey ham dinner plan, but it was foiled by shrimp and ham gone bad. 
And so - frozen fish and frozen fries.
Awesome.
We love you Fishers! Merry Christmas :)

My New Years Resolution
Begin writing 2-3 times a week. 1000-1500 words :)
This is a picture of my behavioral positive re-inforcement plan inspired by Peggy.
Every time I write I get to put a glass stone in the vase! Each color stands for different types of writing.
Woo 2013! haha

 Getaway in Jim Thorpe

Merry Christmas to us.

 I love Fridays. After shopping I found a dress for John's work Christmas party (which may not be happening, but I have an awesome dress) and these slippers to replace mine which have holes worn through the heels. It was time. I get pretty attached to my slippers, so I'm looking forward to getting to know these ones real well.
