The semester ends & the holidays begin!

It seems like just yesterday that I was a nervous wreck about starting my first semester of Grad. school and now it has come to an end. It is crazy how fast the time goes by. The semester went very well for both Coyte and myself. Coyte really enjoyed the courses he taught and got a lot of research done, while adding a few publications to his name. :) I'm so proud of him and all of his accomplishments. I'll have to admit I was terrified to start back to school, but got the hang of things pretty quickly and had a great semester. It was my first time actually teaching my very own class and it was really a lot of fun.....very challenging, but FUN! Let's just say I learned A LOT about what works and what doesn't. :) I'm looking forward to seeing the little kiddos again next semester!
Well, the holidays are here and we are getting ready to make the long drive back to Indiana to visit my side of the family. I am really looking forward to it! We are taking the puppies along with us this time....I'm extra excited about not having to leave them in daycare all week. I really hate having to do that. They will enjoy their Christmas this year! :)
We were in Indiana for about a week over Thanksgiving and it was so much fun visiting with everyone. I can't wait to see them all again! We are planning to stay through New Year's this year as well, which will be fun. I'll have to post some pictures of our trip.
