Christmas break

While I don't officially have a Christmas break (on account of being a working woman, haha), it's been a great couple of weeks since Trey finished his finals! We managed to make it to every family's Christmas, despite the blizzard, and we've gotten to spend fun time with friends, as well. We went to Eishen's with a group from Trey's med school class. We also went to a Thunder game with one of my best friends Emily and her husband, Michael, who is also in Trey's class. And most recently, we spent a few days in Fort Worth to celebrate Allie and Mark's wedding on New Year's Eve! Trey got to catch up with the SigEp guys and I had a blast with all the girls. It was especially great to see Rachel, since she's been busy working in Dallas since she graduated.

Allison, the beautiful bride!

I'm an aunt! Sort of...

Introducing Duncan Geurkink! He's the newest addition to our family and is so full of joy and love. He's a silver lab that Jack and Kayla got a few months ago. Jack has already spent a lot of time training him...he's so smart and playful! You can't help but laugh at all the silly things he does--like crawling under the coffee table and pouncing on Woody, haha. He's already 4 times the size he is in the picture (above)! He's quite a mess, but we all love him so much.

My First Tree!

It's amazing how much joy can be found in the little things. Having a Christmas tree in my apartment over the holiday season has made me feel so at home. I'm so proud of my little 7-foot pre-lit tree. And I'm thankful for all the ornaments that have been given to me (mostly by my mom) over time. Each one is special to me.
