YAY!

I'm not sure if you all can tell what this is, but I'll tell you. Its my computer screen after I submitted my application to Duke University! and that was the last one I had to submit! So now I just have to wait to hear back from schools...for a few months...
Thanks to everyone who supported this process by giving me Christmas and graduation money! I couldn't have paid the fees without your help. and thanks to Mom and Brad for proofreading.

Happy New Year to all!

Trudi's New Haircut

Cheyenne & Emma Pictures =)

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post a few of the pictures I took of Cheyenne and Emma so that Grandma could see them. =)

This is from Cheyenne's pictures at Kennesaw Mountain:
And the picture where we all agree Emma looks like Mum:

New Mirror

Here is the new mirror.... hard to take a great pic because you can't stand right in front of it to take it...

The colors are really nice, looks like it belongs there.

If only I can get rid of the black splotches....

New Furniture Arrived Yesterday!

New Camera

So I FINALLY got the camera I've been lusting over for at least a year, and to say the least, I adore it! I decided to post some of the photos we've taken together.

The first few are from Blue Ridge. The first four being from Korey's grandparent's house. They own a LOT more land on the mountain than I thought they did. I learned this as we attempted to walk up said mountain! =(

This one is from the cabin Korey's step-dad just sold. It's still being built, but you can tell he really has an eye for picking some amazing landscapes. This is actually the view from the far right of the wrap around porch, before you even step on. So the view is very long and very majestic in person.

Our friend's son also turned one this past weekend! So we went up to celebrate. He's such a cutie!

I know mom & Mike don't want grand kids any time soon, but wouldn't this be sweet...?

So what do you think? Can I hone my skills enough to go pro? If not, too bad! You're going to have to get stuck seeing a lot more photos from me! =)

New Stuff

Here is my new coffee table, end table and lamp, which I bought today and which will be delivered on Wednesday. Going in the music room...

And here is Emma's new haircut, which she just got this morning:

And here is Emma in her new sundress with her friend Rachel...

Sad 10K News

For those of you who were interested, I'm disappointed to announce that though I was able to raise more than enough money (which will all still be going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) I've decided not to run in the race on the 27th. I've been training really hard, but for the past two weeks I've been having frequent pains in my left hip, thigh, and knee. I haven't run all week and the pain has persisted. I don't have time to find a doctor and make an appointment right now so I decided its probably best to stay off the track until I can get the issue checked out. Hopefully I can get the issue resolved soon since I wont have to worry about work for much longer.

I just figured I'd mention it.

I have snow pics too!

Last night during the snow storm my store closed two hours early so I was thankfully able to make it home before the hill iced over...but at this point NO ONE is able to leave my neighborhood. Not only is the parking lot a frozen block of ice, but we live at the bottom of the steepest hill around. Last time there was ice police had to block off our entire road because so many people were getting in accidents trying to get home or to leave.




My roomies made a snow man!

Snow In Atlanta

Just a dusting compared to what much of the country has been enduring, but still a rare event here in Atlanta.
