Backgrounds!

I have been wondering where all my friends on here get their super cute backgrounds.....and I finally figured it out!!!!! I went to The Cutest Blog On The Block blog and they have such cute and festive free backgrounds for blogs, I LOVE IT!  Just wanted to share that;)

I should have some new pictures to update my somewhat drabby (of late) blog by this weekend.  Saturday is the Meyer family Christmas and EVERYONE will be there, including my new little nephew Gage!  Then the next weekend is the Brunner family Christmas and our own little family Christmas (which Nate is coming to!) so, never fear, there are more pics to come;) I have all my Christmas shopping done, thank God, so it's smooth sailing from here on.

Not much...

Not much out of the ordinary has been going on lately!  It has been pretty busy at work the past few weeks which makes the nights after them just the opposite....uneventful!  I just feel like laying on the couch I'm so wiped out. Plus Nate doesn't get home from work until around 10:30pm so I feel like I should be up and spend time with him for a little bit too. So, I have gotten used to taking naps in the evening....not the best, I know. 

Nate and I are also "busy" planning our trip to Dallas.  I am taking the third section of my prosthetic boards there on January 8th so we are making a little vacation out of it.  Nate loves history so we are definitely going to the Book Depository Museum for some JFK info.  My friend Maja and her husband also live in Texas (Austin) so we are going to meet up with them sometime, somehow! Any suggestions on good hotels and other things to do there???

On a different note, I'm kinda sad tailgating season is over:( Even though my Hawkeyes pissed down their own legs at the end of the season I was hoping we could redeem ourselves in whatever bowl game we went to. Now, after the announcements for the bowl games yesterday, I'm not so sure that will happen. Mizzou???? Yikes! That will be pretty hard for us even if we play one of our "good games" like we did against Michigan State. If we play like we did against Northwestern or Minnesota you might as well forget it and go to bed. It would be nice to go to Arizona for the bowl game-in the middle of winter-but seeing as we are already going to Dallas it is not really feasable.....if it was the Rose Bowl it would be a COMPLETELY different story!
