It's a sad day

in the Cramer house. We will not be getting our new puppy. It is for the best but still sad to know that we won't have a new addition. We visited her at her current owners and realized she would not be a good fit for our family. She is very high strung and loves to jump on people. It just would not work out. We are hoping to maybe find another puppy but we are willing to wait. Oh well!

In other news, I go to see my doctor on Thursday. Please pray that we get some good news and for clarity as I ask my doctor my list of questions. I will update you all when we know more.

We also enjoyed dinner with Holly and Justin on Friday. We gorged on cheese fries and burgers at Snuffer's (I know you are jealous Mindy!) It was fun to catch up with them as we hadn't seen each other since before Christmas. Maybe we can make it a once a month occasion! (Hint, hint) We also finally took down our outdoor Christmas lights on Sunday because it was sunny and somewhat warm. Luckily we were not the last people on the block!

It Should Have Gone Better

We are back from the game and if you haven't already heard we lost badly. It was a lousy time to play the worst game of the season....it should have gone so much better. Regardless, we had a good time and were very happy we didn't pay $1200 to get into the game. Instead we watched it outside in the parking lot on a big projection screen. It was cold and depressing but there are great memories. The craziest thing is that they predicted 170,000 people showed up for the game. The stadium holds about 72,000. Out of the 170,000 they estimated 30,000 were Florida fans and the remaining 140,000 were Ohio State fans. Didn't speak well for Florida!


They day before the game we joined 35,000 Ohio State fans for a pep rally in the baseball park. Here are some pictures of the band and our friend Chad (who is really an Oklahoma fan!) Doesn't he look thrilled to be rooting for the Buckeyes!

Christmas Chaos and Other Stuff

We survived Christmas! It was a fantastic holiday topped off by the best gift ever from Joel! He gave me a 5 day trip to London over spring break!!! I am so excited. March can't get here soon enough.




For Christmas, my mom, Mindy and Doug came to our house for 4 days. We had a great time catching up and planning the wedding. Mindy and Doug brought their new puppy Fletcher too. Woody wasn't that keen on him because he was so small and kept stealing his toys. However, they learned to get along but Woody was relieved to see them go. It is great practice for his new sister.

Speaking of Bella, we will be getting her in the next two weeks. We decided to wait until after we get back from the football game (we leave Saturday). That will be a fun trip and hopefully we can get tickets to the game!! I'm hopeful if that counts for something.
That was our holiday in a nut shell. I'll post more pictures when I get them from Mindy (hint, hint)!
