Back to work he goes...

Derek has just finished up his first week at Davis P.D. & loved it! It's a great change from Oakland and he's really enjoying the new vibe, people and community. He can tell the difference immediately; nicer locker rooms, welcome cookies, & a bunch of free stuff was waiting for him. He was swore in on his first day of work (13th) but a ceremony will be held on Jan. 5th for all us to attend! Im excited for that :)

Im very proud of my husband. He worked to so hard to get hired there & did it. Only 4 were hired (out of 80 I think he said). Davis is going to be a great change for our family. As much as he liked Oakland, I know he very quickly adjusted to Davis and is looking forward to getting on the streets the week after Christmas. We also lucked out that he gets Christmas Eve & Day off!

In other news.. I'm done with my first semester of grad school. It feels so nice to not worry about school for 6 weeks but I really did enjoy the semester.

Christmas shopping is officially done & the bottom of our tree is filling up with goodies. Im excited for Christmas. It will be the 1st of many that Derek & I spend together as a married couple... plus Radar has some presents under there too that I know she'll love!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...


... all through my house...

I sure love decorating for Holidays! It sure makes it feel like Christmas with a huge tree in the family room! I'm so exciting to be spending our first Christmas in our new house & as a married couple! Now we need to figure out our plans for Christmas Eve & day-- we both have such awesome families so we'll have to split up our time! Well, 22 days til Christmas my friends.... now I must fill below the tree with presents :)
