Kristen threw a pretty awesome New Years party at her house. It’s rare when everyone gets together in one place anymore, but most of our friends came out to celebrate!

Christmas went pretty well. It actually went a lot better than expected! My brother was social and talkative the entire time we were there! Wow. It felt nice. For once I didn’t feel like an outsider.

Guess what? I officially started my Steelers collection! I have two things now... a signed mini helmet from Hines Ward, and an Authentic Wilson Football autographed by Mean Joe Greene! Woo hoo! There's soooo much more stuff that I want, but I won't be able to afford them until I start making some good dough. It kind of sucks being a poor ( Read more... )

On Friday night, my fraternity drove out to Heinz Field for security training. I was pretty impressed with the turnout, considering the more people we have, the more money we make.
