Christmas, mice, and Nashville

I'm a horrible blogger. I haven't given any updates in quite some time, but then again, my life is one big routine, and not much changes from day to day. With the holidays here and this semester of school nearly complete, I'm sure my routine will change, and maybe I'll have interesting things to blog about.

Thanksgiving was just last week, and that was a great day. We spent the day with Bradley's family, which was very nice. They are a wonderful group of people to be around and the food was good too, so that was a double plus! We also got all of our Christmas decor up, so I've been feeling a bit cheery lately. Christmas time always makes me feel happy- I don't know if it's the lights or the music or the good food, but I just feel happy when Christmas time is here. It's probably the food :)

Speaking of food, we have been feeding a little family of mice. We caught one with a live trap a few weeks ago. Last week we set up the snapper traps and we caught 3 in a row and then another one that night. I think that's all we've got so far, and hopefully they are all gone. I feel sorry for them when they die on the trap, but when I find rat poo in my kitchen, my sorrow quickly disappears. We also have a mole in our front yard. It's been digging around. We think it probably ventured over as a result of the construction going on next door- there is a Jehovas Witness church being built next door.

Wedding Plans
Well, not much going on there. I'm going with each of my bridesmaids within the next month to look for dresses. So that will be fun. Other than that, I haven't really done much. I do a lot of thinking about it though, now that I have time to think :) Bradley still hasn't gotten extremely excited. I keep telling him how many days we have left, and he said to just let him know when we get about a month away, so maybe he'll get excited then. We did decide on Nashville for our honeymoon. At first we were just going to stop at several places that we want to go to between now and then, kind of like a road trip, but when I researched stuff between here and there, Nashville had a lot of things we were interested in. We are going to take at least 2 little detours along the way. One is to Mobile, Al to see the USS Alabama. It's a ship we can tour and they have a lot of airplanes too to look at. That is more for Bradley- he's into that kind of stuff. My detour leads us to Juliette, Ga to the set of Fried Green Tomatoes. It is one of my all-time favorite movies and they have preserved the set and even opened the famous Whistle Stop Cafe, so we'll definitely have a try a fried green tomatoe. In Nashville, our big thing is going to the Grand Ol Opry. I just hope they have someone we recognize. But if they don't, I'm sure the experience will be unforgettable either way.

Ok- thats all for now. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
