Here comes February

Again, it's been too long since I've blogged. Here's a quick overview of the events from the last two months:

Dec: I finished grad school, we took a trip to CO, we returned to FL and celebrated Christmas, I was accepted into UF Grad school for Chemistry

Jan: I rung in the new year by re-reading Harry Potter #7 (finished 2 hours into 2010), we lost a very close friend of ours to suicide, my best friend gave birth to a beautiful little girl, we tried to help my coworker out by adopting her dog but had to send the dog back because all 4 of us were exceedingly stressed, I took my first business trip since Alyssa was born, we traveled to Atlanta for friend's funeral and took the sites while we stayed there for the rest of the weekend. Whew! Now you're all caught up.

It has been very tough loosing Ryan. He was a great friend, a brilliant chemist, and an accomplished athlete and musician. I miss him very much.

Being done with my master's has been amazing. I have so much more time now which I spend with LeMar and Alyssa while they're awake or reading novels, not textbooks :), when they're asleep.

I am VERY excited for the Olympics to start in less than two weeks. I will be able to enjoy them much more this time since I don't have schoolwork that needs to be done. We are also looking forward to a trip to Gainesville to familiarize ourselves with the area and preview the Chemistry department at UF.
