Something New

In an effort to keep family and friends updated on Tipton happenings I (Melissa) have started this blog. Ryder has his own website, but this one will be for the entire family. Please be patient as I figure out all the cool stuff I can do.



Christmas was so much fun this year. Ryder actually understood the concept and was very excited when "Santa" brought him just what he wanted!


During my two weeks off I spent a lot of time with Ryder and quite a bit of time reading. One of the girls Jason works with got me hooked on the Twilight series. I have read the first two books and went to see the movie over the break. I tried to get as much "fun" reading in as I could because I will be starting my masters classes again next week. I am happy to say that I have completed 9 hours and have a 4.0! Today was my first day back at school and I have to admit I was sad. I get so used to being home with Ryder and doing things on our own schedule. Hopefully this year will continue with the trend of time flying by after Christmas break.

Our Christmas present to each other this year was a treadmill! I refuse to walk around our neighborhood because I am afraid of the dogs that are allowed to roam the streets. Jason says I should just carry a stick, but I know that would do me absolutely no good if a dog wanted to attack me! I also argued that if we got a treadmill I could walk regardless of the weather, which proved handy today. I think the high was somewhere around 34 and it was sleeting most of the day. I have started out the new year with high hopes for some weight loss, so we will see! The first time I walked on it Ryder said "Mommy, are you treadmillin'?"
