Holiday Madness


That's what I'm blaming my lack of posting on, the Holidays. It just gets so crazy busy. I just wanted to get a quick post out to let everyone know we are alive! Alex has had his Christmas program at school and his party is today. I took the kids to see A Christmas Carol last Friday, had to take out a small loan to do so, and they loved it! It is a little scary however. I've been shopping, wrapping, baking and working. But, it's all coming together and I can't wait to be with my families. I feel like Addie does in this picture however, I just want to sleep!

A little update on the status of my recent life changing decision. I apply to MU in January and hopefully will get accepted, fingers crossed. Then, since I will miss the beginning of the semester in January (I have to have had to be working 6 months at the U before I receive tuition reimbursement) I will start my prereq's in May. It seems like a really long time to wait but it will be worth it. I'm also considering a transfer in February to the L&D/Post Partum unit at CRH. That's where I want to be in the end anyway, so why not move now?

I hope everyone has a wonderful, blessed Christmas. I will miss everyone as I know I won't see you in awhile due to the holidays. So, until we meet again...Merry Christmas.

I love Joey's balls...and Michelle's and Jill's...


That's what the annual Christmas party at Joey's house was all about this year. Balls. The kitchen was full of balls, no kidding. We had peanut butter balls, Oreo balls, and almond Oreo balls. What did you think I was talking about? Pervert.

This was Addie's first Christmas cookie rodeo. She had a good time with Abbey and agrees the balls are awesome!
This is one of my most favorite events during the holidays. We have so much fun and I love these guys. Can't wait till' next year...
