The January that was different.

Last year, January drug painfully by. As it approached, I braced myself for the same sluggish pace as last year, but have been pleasantly surprised at the difference. The amount of new people I'm meeting exploded in January and I've been spending most of the month building these new relationships.

I've gone rock climbing quite a bit this month at GVSU. Katie and I decided to climb every other Monday, alternating with book group.

I hosted a dinner part at my place this last Friday. We had Mexican Casserole to eat.

Andy sat up this pulley system in our doorway. If you'll notice, I've pulled myself off the ground.

This is Holly.
