Goal...Accomplished!

My goal today was to put up the Christmas tree and decorate it! And I did it! I do not have a star yet, but that will come soon!

Under the tree is a teddy bear one of my students gave me last year! So sweet!

And this is what Lucy did all day! ---------------------->

What we have been up to...

With the holidays coming up and the fast approaching final exams, I have felt like a hermit/computer nerd in my own house. I have done nothing but research for the dreaded thesis paper due in American Lit. and still no idea where to start! But I will get through it!

Last Sunday we went to my cousins house in Eatonton and had Thanksgiving. It was nice to visit with my aunt! It is a long drive, but my cousins new husband so graciously took the responsibility of driving and all I had to do was sit back and relax! That was nice.
Nathan did not go with us because he has been in tremendous pain with his elbow.Not sure what exactly is going on with it...the doctor says its tennis elbow...we think it might be bursitis or something along that line. Anyways, I spent that day without him, which is one of my least favorite things to do!

I have been off work all week, which has been nice and relaxing, and got many things around the house done. Today I will put up the Christmas tree...after my nap!
Wednesday I had lunch with a long time friend, Jessica, and we had a great time. She helped me find a much needed duvet cover at Linens N Things! That store is going out of business, and I got a $80 cover for $31! I was impressed!

Then yesterday, Thanksgiving, we went to Nathans moms side of the family first, and then to his dads side. It was a great time at both!
After all the festivities we came home, built a fire, and crashed!

This morning I woke up and took Nathan to work, and figured that since I was already up, I would hit some stores. I am not too much of a early morning shopper, but after 7am I am ok. So I got was I wanted at Staples, and walked right out...no wait. Then went to the crazy hole...AKA Walmart, and was informed that the sheets that I thought were a good deal, but did not need too bad to stand in line at 3 am, were sold out...oh well. That is what I call Black Friday fun! I might go back out later to buy Christmas ornaments! Let the Christmas festivities begin!

Tomorrow we are going to my other aunts to have Thanksgiving with the other half of my family...long story...and fry turkey and all the yummy food there!
then...Sunday we go to the Cipriani's for our annual Turkey Tetrazzini...then Monday is back to work!
Well...thats a wrap up of what the Goss household has been up to! Busy, tiring, yet together we have lots of fun!

Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday Nathan and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. We both cannot believe its already been two years. Time flies when you are having fun!

Monday night we decided to go to dinner because we wanted to be able to relax the next day and enjoy each other. Oh side note, we took Monday and Tuesday off from work. So we went to Kyma, which is part of the Buckhead Diner Group, and I had a gift card I recieved as a gift. So that paid for a quarter of our meal. Then while we were there we realized it was resturant week. For those who do not know what resturant week is, it is where the "fancy" restruants have a special 3 course meal for $29 each! So we decided that we would come back the next night, which was actually our anniversary, and eat off the "cheap" menu. So we went back last night to Atlanta Fish Market, and it was pretty good! Then of course we came home and were in bed by 9:30pm. We are getting old!

The picture above is from our traditional, because I made it a tradition, anniversary before dinner picture.

The picture below is Lucy wanting to be in the picture also! She is so funny.

The weekend was uneventful, except for the awesome Soup Swap I went to Sunday and learned how to make homemade carmel sauce...yummy!

This Satruday I take the GACE, please pray for me. I HAVE to pass it to get into the PSOE at school.

Sunday we are thinking of going to ride the motorcycle somewhere! I love the fall weather!

Sick :(

Well today I am home sick. I have a sinus infection...no fun.
My children at school are sick and coughing all over the place, so I am sure that doesn't help!
This week is also finals at school...so today is a great day to study study study!!!
Nathan and I are going to the Cherokee Pignic tomorrow night and Saturday, so I will be sure to post pics from that.
And...our 2nd wedding anniversary is vastly approaching! 2 wonderful years have flown by!

Well, I went to my cousin's wedding on Saturday and saw many family members. Some got on to me for erasing my first blog...so here I return again!

The wedding was beautiful! I got some very pretty flowers from the night!
