J here writing this week's blog installment. Not too exciting of a week. We're still getting used to the time change. I really dislike it being dark by when I get home from work, but I know I'm not alone in that.
Thursday at work I was in charge of putting up the Christmas tree. Couldn't get much help because everyone else said it's tacky to put up the tree before Christmas (I agree of course but just did as I was told). The Salvation Army gave us a bunch of children's names with their Christmas lists to hang on the tree. C and I picked a little boy who is 18 months old. We went shopping for him Saturday and got him some really cute clothes. C had a lot of fun with it.
Friday night we went to see Harry Potter with Anna and our friend from MSU, JPG. It was really good and left us wanting to see the next one immediately. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait til summer. We didn't get there very early and had to sit up front. C refused and sat by herself a little farther up....typical :) Also, Saturday morning C woke me up at 4 to see if I could hear a noise in the room. I could but we couldn't find the source. She couldn't go back to sleep but of course I did. Today, we found the culprit. It was a spider the size of a half-dollar! C was thoroughly freaked out and has said that she is sleeping on the couch from now on even though I killed it.
The State game was very exciting but extremely disappointing. At least we fought hard with a very good team and managed to score some points. Ole Miss looked good against LSU, so we'll have to bring our A-game next week. UNC lost in football (to NC State) and basketball this week. I am looking forward to rubbing in the basketball loss since they were ranked in the top 10.
We are very excited about getting some days off this week. We have finished up most of our Christmas shopping but have managed to not put the tree up yet (much to C's dismay).
On a more serious note, C's grandmother had a mild stroke and is in the hospital in Bay St. Louis. We are hoping she will be moved to Tupelo this week. Please keep her in your prayers.
Until next time, we send our love from North Carolina.
