I know it's been a long time since I posted last, but there isn't a lot going on these days. My training is going and the weather has been extreme lately. I ran last Thursday when the high for the day was 23 degrees. I about froze to death. And then I ran yesterday when it got up to 60 degrees which was really, really nice.
I spent the weekend in Louisville at the Cardinal Christmas Classic where our swim team competed. All of the kids swam really well, and it was fun to watch them swim. And I also got to catch up with my aunt Francie and Carol who I hadn't seen in a few months. They were gracious enough to house me over the weekend.
The Cats are now ranked 3rd in the nation which is awesome. I was blessed enough to get a ticket to the UNC game thanks to my girlfriend. And a few days later we watched the UConn game which was another extremely exciting game. We defeated IU this past weekend which always makes UK fans happy. The football team is headed to the Music City Bowl (again!!!). And I'm headed down there with them. The game is the 27th of December and should be a lot of fun.
I'm really excited about the holidays. I get to travel home and spend time with the family which I love to do. And I just love to watch Christmas movies. Elf, Christmas Vacation, and The Christmas Story are 3 of my favorites. I think I watch The Christmas Story about 6 times a year, all of which are during the 24 hr. marathon on TBS on Christmas Eve and day. I also like to watch the Christmas Carol and Home Alone 1 & 2 (I refuse to watch the third and fourth).
In preparation for the holidays, Casey and I have been doing little things to decorate around the house. We helped Beth put up the Christmas tree and ornaments. The following night we made a bunch of homemade ornaments which was a lot of fun. I haven't made the applesauce and cinnamon ornaments since I was about 8 years old. I forgot how good they smell, and how horrible they taste, haha.
