We hope that everyone has had a great start to the new year! Things here have been same as usual, which I guess is okay :)Life in Texas has been good, unless you're a silly Cowboys fan (which we never will be-- Go Vikings)! We're excited to watch the game tomorrow and see some more amazing Vikings action!
Our Christmas was quiet and wonderful. As you know, we celebrated Christmas with our families, so that actual day of Christmas was very low-key. We cooked dinner, went to Christmas Eve service, had some dessert and watched Christmas movies. It's fun continuing to come up with our own traditions. Philip had to work on the day of Christmas and I got to be the lucky one who was on call. It was a busy weekend, but not too horrible (thank goodness)!
New Year's I was still on-call, and Philip had to work until 11pm. But, we were in the same place for our midnight kiss, so all was good! A co-worker of mine had a get-together at her house and it was a great start to the year to celebrate with friends.
We finally booked our weekend trip to Dallas! We will be there February 5-7 and we're hitting up a Dallas Stars game and staying at the Hotel Lawrence. Not much else is planned, but I would like to visit some of the places of my childhood, since we lived there in the late 80's/early 90's. The best part about the trip is that another Chmielewski sibling will be there at the same time! Tom is reffing in Dallas that weekend, so we'll spend a day with him after he refs a game on Saturday night and we watch the Stars kick butt!
