I should have posted these pictures earlier, but I didn’t get around to it…kind of like I didn’t get around to doing Christmas cards until December 23rd.  Or baking Christmas cookies (at all!) until December 20/21.  Or making lefse dough until Christmas Eve…at 9pm.  Oh well, better late than never, right?  At least it all got done before Christmas!  Well, except for this.  So, without further adieu, updated pictures of our house, decorated for Christmas.  This will most likely be one of the last posts containing pictures of our house, so if you want to see more of it, come visit!

19 Dec 2005 9 days to go…
 |  Category: photos, Sarah  | Tags: ,  | Comments off

So the wedding’s in 9 days. Between now (Monday) and Wednesday, I have to do my stats take home (which, as Rick and Wendy so kindly noted at the top, should not take more than 10 hours if we’ve kept up), grade finals (in class and take home portions), grade papers, and move from my apartment to Dave’s. We’ll see how this works…
We have a pretty Christmas tree. It’s my tree from last year (one of those $17 Target ones), with both of our stuff on it. There are lots and lots of lights and ornaments. It is pretty and sparkly. (Now there are presents under it.)

We have a new pastor at my church. He is actually the pastor from my church at home from when I was little (he left my church when I was 6 1/2). It’s fun to have him again. Dave likes him too, I think. :)
What else is going on? Hmmm, I had to present in seminar last week. I had to make computer code to calculate Hoyt’s Reliability Coefficient using R. That was fun, or something, but I did it! Woohoo!
Dave was looking at phones last night. Apparently, it would cost about the same for him to add a line to mine and both of us upgrade our phones as it would for me to pay the early termination fee and transfer over to his and upgrade phones. Interesting. He prefers playing with cell phone websites to thinking about the wedding. :)
I’m going to go attempt to work on my take home now. Later.
