The picture is me with my first "real" bow tie. They are not easy to tie! Tara and I worked on this for about two hours. We watched youtube clips over and over and finally I got it!!!
2012 has started well for me. Tara and I spent a lot of time together over winter break. The holidays went pretty well for me. Christmas was a bit sad this year because it brought back memories from having to put Cierra down last year. It helps to have a wonderful new puppy named Lily. Tara and I had tears several times this holiday season remembering our beloved girl.
Holiday times with family has been pretty good. I did have one experience with some of Tara's extended family. One of the teenage cousins was at Christmas with her boyfriend. They sat on a couch all night staring and laughing at me. I did not feel paranoid or anything!! I ignored them and did my own thing. Another experience I had happened just this past weekend. Visiting Tara's 80+ year old grandma in the nursing home and one of her grandma's friends stops by. Alpha introduces us to her and she referrers to me as her granddaughter's husband, Will. Tara and I both agrees it feels a little weird to be called a husband or a wife, but to have her grandma be so supportive of us is great!!!
Hopefully 2012 will have more blogs then the previous years!!!
Shalom!
