Bye bye! Bye bye!

Usually I don't feel obligated to write some sort of End of the Year Blog, but I think 2008 deserves it. It's been quite a year.Last New Year's we were in Portland, but just visiting. This year we're in Columbia, visiting. That's how this year started - flying back to Columbia to finish school. Then things just kept happening:
Josh graduated.
We road tripped to Portland.
Josh got a job.
We got a living situation.
We got married.
I graduated.
We came out to Columbia.
And that's just what happened directly to us - not to mention all the stuff that happened to our family and friends! Emily (both Emilys) graduated, Pamela went to Nicaragua, Alyssa moved to Oman, Nick and Liana got married... last night at Twigs and Kandace's, Twigs prayed and thanked God that we could get together and hear what God has been doing for us all in the last few months. That's pretty much all we can think of in regards to this year. It's pretty crazy. And a good thing, too, because we've got another year full of decsisions and changes.
Mmm... it has been a good year. We are celebrating by sitting on the couch together, Christmas tree on, laptops out, watching football and waiting for friends to arrive.
Happy New Year.

Snow Day

Josh is addicted to Craig's list (he protests over my shoulder). Not surprisingly, so are a lot of other people, and the cold weather keeping everyone home has resulted in TONS of adds put up today. We've checked the site a couple of times today and found that more than 100 adds have been placed in furniture since the last time we checked. Weird, too, that tons of those people seem to be in our immediate part of town. Anyway.
Though we like looking for great deals and treastures, we really just enjoy the adds. Some adds are impossible not to click on no matter what you are looking for. Beyond the really bad grammar, spelling and other weird things people do to get their add noticed, some things are just werid. Or somehow ended up with ridiculous titles.
These are some of our favorites from today:

Sightings

Yesterday, while waiting for the bus, I saw two of my professors. I never see professors at the bus stop at 3:45pm. And these two professors, in particular, I have never seen outside the classroom. One, my Mark Twain prof from 3 years ago has grown his hair and beard out to be quite curly and bushy. He hopped on the 12. Then I saw Janet Cowell the awesome linguistics prof! I think she got off a bus. And busted out her industrial sized razor scooter thing and rode off toward the center of campus. It was quite entertaining.
