Well, here I am. I've decided to join the blogosphere. My first mission was trying to think of a clever name for my blog. I googled, "Rhymes with Lear," and got some sites with poems by a guy with the last name "Lear." A problem we often have with our last name is having to spell it all the time as people want to spell it "Leer," when it's "Lear." So I typed, "rhymes with Leer," and got a list of words that rhymed with "dear." Gosh, that's a long explanation. Sorry. Anyway, I came up with sheer lear as sheer can mean to vear off course. In my life before Shane, and in our married life, we have swerved off course a bit, but not necessarily "bad" swerving. I planned on things being a little different, but I love life how it is now and wouldn't trade it for anything. Then, I realized I put in my address as ShearLeer. This is cool, too, because I'm in cosmetology school and I use shears. Lol....
Last week, Shane and I went to the Biltmore House. We were given tickets for our anniversary from his Uncle Bud and Aunt Chris (Yay!). We had a grand ole time even if it was 40 below (not really, but it was cold). We went to the winery and sampled lots of wine (I guess "tasted" is the correct terminology). I found it interesting how you have to stand around the tasting bar because there aren't any seats. I concluded the reason is probably because people would never leave if they could sit and drink free wine all day.
This week is full of activity as we travel to Sevierville, TN and Lenoir, NC for family festivities. We'll cap it off by hosting some family at our house for lunch on Christmas Day (Avery's 1st Christmas and our 1st in our new house). I'm so happy about Avery's 1st Christmas. I can't wait to see how she reacts, although I'm sure she'll love the paper more than anything. I'm also really excited for everyone else to open their gifts we bought for them and I'm super excited about Shane's gifts (I even tried to get him to open one a couple hours ago and he said no).
Deep down I'm ecstatic about all the delicious food I'll be consuming. If you know me, you know I don't do much cooking. I'm happy to say that last week I made homemade meatloaf that turned out well (next time I'll try a different recipe, though, because I wish it had more flavor), and today I whipped up stuffed porkchops right before I went to work. I'm no Betty Crocker, but I'm getting there.
