My grandma (biological dad&#8217;s mom) died and so my mom and I drove down to Panama City to be there for that and then my other Grandma had her knee replaced the next day.  The highlight was I was able to see and recconect with a lot of my family that I haven&#8217;t seen in awhile and now we&#8217;re all vowing to keep in touch more often.  Needless to say it was a really emotionally draining trip and it was good to be home.  Stoli went &#8220;swimming&#8221; in the Gulf while we were down there, although her reaction was too be expected.  We have to carry her out in the rain and she steps around puddles, imagine a huge puddle.  But she does know how to swim, I had to wade out and stand on a sand bar to get her out there but she swam.  I&#8217;ll post pics of the trip soon.  <\/p>\n<p>I finally managed to register for my classes &#8211; 8 more credits after this semester.  This semester is just kicking my butt.  I have papers in every class now.  One was just assigned a couple of days ago with only 3 weeks left of the semester.  We&#8217;re off this coming week for Thanksgiving (and so is Casey) but I have so much stuff that I have to get done before the end of the semester I won&#8217;t really have any days off between that, cleaning, cooking for Thanksgiving, and decorating for Christmas. <\/p>\n<p>We went and bought a tree tonight &#8211; a 7.5 foot, pre-lit tree and looks really good fro being fake.  I&#8217;m all in the holiday spirit now and can&#8217;t wait to decorate the first tree of our own!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry for the lack of posts &#8211; it&#8217;s been a rather hectic few weeks.
