Welcome everyone to our new blog! We (and by we, I mean me- Amber) decided to create a blog so that family and friends can keep up with what we're doing. We understand not everyone is on facebook, myspace, and livejournal has become passe. That being said, here's what's been going on with us so far...
For Christmas, we went to Mexico City to visit Johann's parents who moved there for work. Johann's sister Liz was there, too. We miss the food there already! We had such a great time there; saw a lot of the city, museums, Xmas party, climbed the sun pyramid in Teotihuacan, etc etc. Can't wait to go back.
For New Year's, we took a roadtrip to Columbus with our friends Jesse, his girlfriend Caroline, and our newest friend Mahdi. Bart & Lisa are awesome hosts, their house is awesome and there was always yummy food to be had. They had a get-together for the new year and we met their friends, played a funny half-game of cranium, and had a good time. We also got a quick, Bart-led tour of the Ohio State campus. It was quick because it was freezing (I think near 8 degrees or less). Good times!
Since then, we have gone back to work (mostly). Johann has been going back to campus to meet with his advisor. We both stayed home on Thur the 7th: Johann because of the winter snow storm, me because my assignment let me go for the day and I had been dealing with some GI problems since the weekend. It was nice to stay home together and relax.
This weekend, we saw Sherlock Holmes, which was great! Guy Ritchie can be hit or miss, but this was a good movie. I hope he does more of them! Yesterday, I pretty much stayed on the couch since I wasn't feeling optimum. The dogs appreciated it, since they got a well-deserved bath and were freezing afterwards. Johann made caipirinhas, and we just hung out being lazy. Today we have been productive. We got up early, made pancakes for breakfast, I did dishes and started a potroast for dinner, Johann ran some errands and went grocery shopping, and I painted the inside of our hall closet. We're hoping to get the shelf and hanger-bar up today so it will be a fully functional closet- yay!
Happy 2010 Everyone! Here's a copy of our holiday card picture if you didn't get to see it.
