Monday Mania~Monday Memories~January 2012

It was Back to School here today...new semester...new students...
I felt like today was two days long, however, it was a good "couple" of days!

Last year...I was not a very consistent blogger,
so, I have lots of stories untold!  I hope to get caught up with a review of 2012...Month by Month.
So here's to January!
We saw the new year in with our best friends... of course!


While hubby and I were in Fargo, with Emily, celebrating a Bison National Championship,
Amy was in San Francisco...falling in love with the man of her dreams! 

Meanwhile, back at Central High School,
My sweet Knitting Club was  creating scarves for Special Olympics Athletes...

My friend, and School Resource Officer,
was presenting to my Personal Development Class...

And my Fitness for Life class 
was enjoying the benefits of preparing and eating the incredible edible egg!

In January 2012,  
I endured the dreaded dentist appointment...


...and Hubby and enjoyed some Wings Hockey Fun.

At home I was stitching away...

But some of the most fun of all...
The Jazz Group...
good music...with good friends!

January 2012...It was a good month...


Take care,
~Natalie

Hail the Bison~Repeat National Champions

Congratulations to the North Dakota State University.
Our Bison Football team won their 2nd National Championship Game.

In January 2012, Hubby and I joined Emily in Fargo to cheer on the Bison...
I think we got the last table at Buffalo Wild Wings!
It was a Wild and Crazy celebration there...Great Memories!

We no longer have our season tickets, 
but hubby was able to secure 3 tickets to attend one of the playoff games.

We have a new Bison fan in Nellie...
our foreign exchange daughter from Denmark.

This year we watched the Championship Game from the comforts of our home.
