Happy New Year!

Hello Again and happy Saturday! Today I am feeling quite tired and I finally realized that its because I'm sick. I have been battling with a sore throat the past couple of days and slept in until 10 today. I have showered and eaten and still feel a little foggy in the head. Foggy-tired = sick. You know when you feel like your immune system is down and there is a war taking place inside your body? That's what I feel like. (you might be thinking "Gosh Katie sure has been sick a lot." Yes. Yes, I have. It's because the girls at work have been sick with various illnesses for the entirety of fall/winter. And no matter how hard you try to avoid there breathing/snotty noses/germs there is always the instance of direct-face-to-face contact in which you know you just got sick.) So, I am going to try and just relax today. I do have some reading for school to do and so will probably accompany Wes to coffee for some studying, but still that sounds relaxing to me.

Anyway, It is now January 8, 2011! This blog is 7 Days overdue... my apologies. In the past 7 days we started school, finally unpacked every last bag from Christmas, went back to work, had dinner with cousin Caleb and Nina, oh and, celebrated The New Year! On the day of New Year's Eve I missed friends and family badly. This usually happens when Wes works on a holiday. I know this because I felt this exact same "poor-me" feeling on the 4th of July this past year. And yes, I was invited to go out on the town and party-it-up with some girls... but really? a show of hands as to how many of you think I would enjoy that? With the right group of girls (oh girls you know who you are!) and safety precautions (a car to use perhaps?) I could be game for a drink at the right place but this invitation was not such an invitation and so, I politely declined and Wes and I decided to pretend that 9pm was the New midnight. We played games and enjoyed yummy food and Champagne. Then Wes went off to work at 9:30 and I was beat anyways. :)

First, we went to Palios for some free Mochas and a couple games of Rummikub

Then, it was back to the house for some bread and olive oil, cheese and crackers, and oven-warmed olives

Don't forget the Champagne, wish we had Champagne Flutes though...

And more games!

So, that was our New Years Eve. Very low-key and just the way we like it. Hope you all had a great first week of 2011!
