December? Really? Really.

Ok...so Dan and I are not good at blogging. And I guess what we aren't good at getting Christmas cards together either! I think we were a little worn out from sending "Thank-Yous" so I think we will wait until next year to have our McCurley Christmas Card debut.


November was a good month! We had a great Thanksgiving. We had a few friends over and played some Xbox 360 =]. We had lots of great food including a peanut butter cup pie from Perkins. I am thankful we have great friends to spend the holidays with, as we are unable to get back to Iowa as often as we would like.


I started my new position at work today. I am assistant manager in another department at the firm. It is great! I have a great co-assistant manager and a great manager. I will a lot from these ladies. The people in the department are great too. I am really excited. It is hard to start out and not quite know exactly what is going, especially since I had my other position mastered and made into a well oiled machine...but change is good!


There really isn't a whole lot else to report on. We are FINALLY settled into our new place and are welcoming visitors! (Wink)





Also I decided I want to become more crafty. I was in a bookstore the other day looking at craft books and was like I want to do that. I am not very good with scissors or any of my fine motor skills, but hopefully things will turn out ok. I am teaching myself to knit and want to start making my own stationary, which means gifts and cards may appear more frequently, in the mail...because who doesn't love mail! Let me know if you want anything!


Last but not least, I read a great book over Thanksgiving called the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I read it in a day. It was probably the best book I have read in a long time. It is a young adult book, but it was much better than the Twilight series. The Hunger Games is also part of series and only two of three books are out. I have yet to read book two, Catching Fire, but I have only heard great things. I totally recommend it.
Any other good reads out there?
