We’ve had a nice couple of weeks with Christmas and all. We got to see a lot of family and were out and about most of the time, but it was a nice break nonetheless.
I’m not ready for a new semester to start at WVU – from the teaching POV anyway. I am teaching again, but I am also taking 2 classes online. Steve is taking the same classes, so hopefully it won’t be too overwhelming. Our new baby is due March 16 or so and we’re looking forward to that. I have to admit I do have *some* apprehension for how we’ll be able to juggle everything, hopefully it’ll all sort itself out.
I met Steve 10 years ago this February on the Friday before leap day. So that is a milestone I’m proud of. Ten years ago I didn’t have any idea where I was headed or what lay before me, but I am very happy with how things have transpired. I have a great husband and a beautiful daughter who amazes me every day. I have a good job… and a mountain of debt – so I must be living the American Dream!
This is kind of a rambling post…sorry.
Been visiting Facebook a lot more lately. Keeps me entertained and I’m impressed with how much nicer, cleaner and responsive it is to use than MySpace (which is way sucky in comparison, IMHO. It kind of reminds me of a teenager’s bedroom.)
Todd Moser just sent me a link to a site called Geni which is also very cool. It lets you create family trees and invite people easily. The thing I like about it is it provides a nice easy to use visual layout of your tree. Haven’t seen this before on a site. The interface reminds me of a cross between Flickr and Facebook.
Iowa caucuses tonight. Noah is there and I hope having a good time. He’s stumping for John Edwards, which I think is very cool. He’s my pick, so I really hope he wins. He’s the only candidate I feel understands the needs of the middle and lower class as well as rural America. Basically if he can continue to say he feels that this country is pandering too much to corporate interests, then he has and will always have my vote.
