Hello family! Greetings from sunny South Carolina! We had been AMAZED at the "winter weather" here and are enjoying wearing t-shirts and flip flops some days. Haha, it does still get pretty cold sometimes too but there were several bursts of warm weather throughout January.
It seems like just yesterday that I was updating the December blog. Wow! How the time has flown! Honestly, this will probably be the shortest and most boring post yet! January was seriously uneventful as we really just worked. The only pictures we took during the month were from a baby shower that I co-hosted with my girlfriends and it was at the very beginning of the month! Here are the pictures below...
 |
| We split up all the hosting duties and my job was to make cupcakes, party favors, and a veggie tray. It was a co-ed baby shower and they didn't want to know the gender of their new baby so we went with bold colors for the shower! |
 |
| The food table. |
 |
| Jason and Katie Kelly are on the left side. This was their second baby. They actually ended up having their baby only four days after the shower! Haha, we were lucky to get it done in time! |
 |
| Wes, Jacob, and Payton sampling all the baby food flavors. They had to guess what each one was. Wes got four out of five correct! It's because he has such a distinguished palate!! :) |
 |
| Carly, me, and Clory. We honestly threw this entire shower together in less than a week so we were pretty relieved that we pulled it off and that everyone seemed to have a great time! |
 |
| The guys were a big help as they came over early and helped us get everything ready...we were running behind! |
Other than that, we really didn't do anything in January. I went to Greenville two different times for People to People meetings. I am currently in my first year as a "delegation leader" and I'm hoping that I'll get to travel with them this summer but am not really expecting too. You kind of have to "put your time in" in order to travel and it all depends on how many students enroll. It is likely that if I do not go this summer, I will go next summer. Here is the website for the trip that I may get to lead this year, depending on how many students enroll (http://www.peopletopeople.com/TravelExperience/Pages/Students-European-Heritage-WH-2012.aspx?zip=29646&range=75). Again, I'd be super excited if I could do this trip but am not getting my hopes because enrollment numbers are down with the economy like it is...so it will probably be next year! But enjoy the video!
Ok, sorry our lives were so boring this January! Hopefully we'll have more to update y'all on for the February post! We love and miss you!
