The last 8 months worth of pictures....

So, as you can see, I haven't downloaded pictures off of my camera since before Christmas. I will now attempt to show you what's been going on since then...

First of all, we had our friends get together at our Starkvegas apartment to celebrate the holidays and a few December birthdays...

Then Rich and I celebrated our Christmas at home before we hit the road to visit the family. Delta got to open her presents first...

Then Rich and I got to open ours...

We spent the rest of the holidays travelling all over the great state of Mississippi. I have a few pictures of that, but for time's sake, I won't post them now.

After Christmas, I really buckled down and looked for a real job. I was miserable at MSU and was desperately looking for a change. Finally, mid-March I got a job offer at University of Alabama-Birmingham working in the the Pathology Department/Center for Free Radical Biology. I can't even tell you how thankful I was to get this job. Well, my boss and I decided that I should start April 1st. Holy crap! I had to find a place to live and move in 3 weeks! Well, we pulled it off. Rich stayed with my brother in Columbus, until he found a job and I went it alone in B-ham for a couple of months. Thankfully, Rich found a job in the Trust Operations department at Regions and started in June.

At the beginning of the year, Rich and I made a deal that if he got down to his goal weight of 210 pounds (down from 250 pounds), we would buy him a new TV. Well, I was very surprised at how he threw himself into running and blew his goal weight out of the water. He is now sitting at a very healthy 186 pounds. He has since then taken running 5K's and 10K's. He is currently training for a half-marathon this coming February. He ran 13 miles just this morning. Running's not my cup of tea, but I'm glad he's found something active that he enjoys.

We've also done a little camping...

We also spent a weekend at campmeeting and this weekend we went to Memphis to celebrate Rich's godson's first birthday. Of course, I forgot my camera on these occasions. Needless to say, we've been busy. I'll sign this off with our most recently family photo taken a few weeks ago. I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures. Later!
