Goodbye old year. Happy New Year!!!!

We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential.

Happy new year to all. Of course I am a little late in posting but what can I tell you it wouldn't be Stacy's world if I were on time.

I had an awesome time with my family over the holidays. I went to Graham and relaxed a while, helped Daddy move out of the old office and into the new. Relaxed some more and had lots of great fun. We decided this year to break from tradition and have steak on Christmas day instead of Turkey. Was it weird, with steak that good there was no room for weird! Anywho Christmas was wonderful!

I was lucky enough to ring in the new year with some new friends. We had an awesome time playing games, watching movies, and eating yummy sweets at my friend Cassie's house. It was great fun.

A few days later I was able to meet up with some of my old college buddies. (look at me sounding all old and stuff) We went to the Cotton Bowl. We arrived in the parking lot at around 9 a.m. The game didn't start until two but that did not mean the festivities had to wait until then! We had a good time catching up and cooking out. Wish I could say our team did a great job and we celebrated a victory, but my Red Raiders lost, and we celebrated other things instead while we waited for the traffic to clear out.

Now I am back in the grove of school, still loving teaching. Right now we are finishing up our first semester. Mid term exams are next week! After that it is on to learning about tolerance, TAKS practice, The Outsiders, Tom Sawyer and much more.

I got a new camera for Christmas and am still trying to figure things out. I have a few picture posted here and the rest are on my picasa. I have some video of that amazing Goin' Band From Raider Land too. Someday I will have time to sit down and figure out how to post video that doesn't take day to load. Until then deal with the pictures!

I hope everybody has started their new year out with a bang. Lets have a fabulous 2009!!
