Emily and Chris

I’m sure that everyone who ever looks at this site already knows what we’ve been up to, but just thought I would drop a line.

The most important thing is that I was finally able to register for my classes.  I am sure everyone is sick of listening to me talk about how hard it was and why, if you don’t know and are interested let me know Anyway, it is finally takin care of (only one whole week into the semester) and I’ll be able to start attending classes on Monday.  The bad news is 1) I had to withdraw from band.  It is sad to me that I will no longer be a band geek, but there is just no way to fit it in my schedule or make it work. 2) It is pushing back my graduation date.  I will have to go one more semester (instead of Spring 2010 it will be Fall 2011).

I got my eyeliner touched up.  It hurt SO bad!  My eyes look fabulous though   I also got a new hair cut, just a trim and some bangs.

We have been completely addicted to the Sopranos lately.  We have watched almost the entire series since Christmas.  If you haven’t wathced the show, I highly recommend it!  It is so easy to get emotionally invested in the characters.  One of the things I thought was most interesting about the series is that they keep the same actors, even the little children, through all 7 season (1-6, but 6 has two parts).  Also, if you have watched the show, did you know that the guy that plays Silvio is in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band?  And his wife on the show, is his wife in real life!  Read about it!

Chris got me the coolest game for Christmas!  It is called “Little Big Planet” and it is one of the most creative things I have ever seen!  It has the cutest little people in it and very unique and innovative levels.  It is SO fun!

Phil’s birthday was on the 13th.  He is SO hard to shop for.  We really did it this year though.  Rebecca, Chris and I went in together on a SkyScout.  It is a person planetarium.  You can point it at a star and it will tell you (with a voice!) what star you are looking at, what constellation it is, the size, distance from Earth etc.  Also, you can tell it what you want to look at and it will show you where to point it in the sky to look at it.  It is SO cool!  I think that Phil will really enjoy it.

So… that’s it!

I thought maybe it would be fun to do a recap of some of my favorite things of this year…
