A Little Eccentric

Nutcracker around town!!

Hello! Less than a week until I leave for France!! To save us all some time, I will answer the questions I have most frequently been asked the last few weeks:
1) Are you excited? -Absolutely! 2) Are you scared? -I am positively terrified! 3) Will you bring me back a present? -Geez, people, I am not made of money. I will be busy being selfishly filled with the pleasure of being by myself in a foreign country that I adore for 5 months. That being said, yeah I'll probably buy lots of presents for those I love. (i.e. the people that send me things while I'm in France...jk)
This has been a lovely Christmas Break. I have been sick and injured a lot, but somehow I managed to have fun. I got over strep, a cold, a blowgun injury, a tetanus shot, and my wisdom teeth being removed all in a couple weeks. Right now I am sitting with an ice pack strapped to my head because I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday. It is the first time I have had anything done with my teeth (I've never even had a filling, etc.) or any type of surgery (I haven't been in a hospital since I was born) so it was a weird experience for me. The anesthesia was crazy; before you even feel sleepy you are knocked out cold. Poor Becky and I basically spent all day drooling and sleeping, but are starting to feel better now. Fortunately the playoffs started this weekend so I at least get to watch lots of good football. (This is my my mentality and yet I am single...sigh)
Earlier this week we had more fun with Erin's giant nutcracker. We decided to bring it around town and take some pictures with it. It was really fun and the pictures are pretty funny. We got some odd looks from passerby, but it was worth it. Here are a few of the shots:



Here we are in the Plains Hotel, in front of the Capitol Building with a big bronze buffalo, deciding what movie to see at the historic Lincoln theater and at the Lane Frost statue in Frontier Park!
