January Recap

And January is nearly gone!
School started, I'm taking a teaching class which has so far been a lot of reading and trying to understand the psychology of students and responsibility of educators. Emily also started a writing group.
LSU won its bowl game, Auburn won the national championship, and the Badgers wonderful run came to an end against TCU.











  

Snowmageddon happened: we had snow in Birmingham! UAB closed down for a day, most schools were closed for the week. Watching cars slip on the road from the balcony was awesome. It also meant that I discovered that walking from home to work is quite pleasurable. So now I walk to work on most days.

Tom is really happy about the Xmas blanket that I made him. 



Especially since the Packers are on a winning streak! Yes, the jersey was a Xmas gift, #52 Clay Matthews!
Watching the Packers v Falcons game with the gang.

Then the BIG game: Packers v Bears for the NFC championship, complete with spinach and artichoke dip, deviled eggs, and pigs in a blanket. Standing room only. There was also yummy goodies that the gang brought. And when we won, Tom opened the champagne!

Dallas, and the Steelers, here we come!
