Intermediate Post

Well… it’s been a while since we’ve updated, so…. let me get you all up to speed… School has started. I’m in classes non-stop. Virginia is taking a class in Education Law. (BOOOOOOOORING) Other than that, we’ve been doing a bit of wedding planning… some sitting around the apartment…. we got a new TV… we’ll do something soon and get some real content up.

“Holiday” Break Update!

Photo album : Linky!

Well, we had a lovely little trip home for Christmas… We were home from about the 19th-29th of December. Of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas without going over to the Page house to make some trains and ginger bread men. Here, Virginia works on a sled and some reigns. This is probably the only gingerbread item that is “people friendly” from that day. The rest… well… is a little adult-oriented.

It was a good time, and we got to hang out with the Olivers! Will, Ned, Nat and Erin all came over to take part in the festivities.

Meanwhile, things at the Trovato house were also beginning to look a lot like Christmas… Mom was cooking, dad was spoiling my cat… my cat was destroying the house and the tree… and being a bad example to dad’s cat. Mainly though… dad was spoiling my cat. He gave her tuna each Sunday, and of course on Christmas day. Also, at every chance, he shared a bowl of ice cream with her. Notice his Christmas Socks.

After all of the Christmas festivities, we came back down to Boone, because Virginia needed to have her tonsils taken out on the 30th. So, the morning of the 29th, we packed the Taurus with all of our lovely gifts and the cat and headed back south. It was such a lovely day, that we hopped on the Parkway at about Galax and enjoyed the scenery on the way back. It’s a good thing we did, because ever since then, Virginia hasn’t been in the best mood to travel.

She’s not happy overall that I’m taking the picture, but this is after the tonsil removal, and she’s really been doing quite well. She’s been a trooper about the whole deal, and is actually taking herself off of the pain medication. Yeah, she’s all Rambo like that.

Until next time, enjoy the current scene from Boone.
