Brains!!!!!

Wow!! I haven't blogged in forever!! That's because now that the holidays are over, there's nothing new to write about. Work is busy!!!! And weekends are for sleep and relaxing.

and I confess.... I've been obsessed with something else! It's not as cute as a blog. I can't be as creative with it. But it is obsessive. It's called Facebook and most of you know about it... and you are even getting obsessed with it too!!!!

I have found so many of my old friends on there! That's so important to me because in my senior year of high school and the next 11 years I was pretty isolated from all of my friends. And when I got on facebook I saw some of their names but thought, "oh, why would they want to talk to me if they EVEN remember who I am..." Then I started getting invites from them to be their friends again. WOW!!! I felt loved and liked!! I really miss having friends! And every few days I find even more friends that I used to have. I never knew I had that many friends!!! And they want to know all about my life, not just me wanting to know about their lives.

And I can even keep in touch with family... I never see Kim, Tiff and Megan that often, but now I can send them messages!!

I felt like I was neglecting the blog and wanted some creativity... I promise to post more often... now Denise, it's your turn. You too Steph and Missy, you guys need to update us. Denise, I'm always talking about you at work, but don't have any updates from you. Is he kicking like crazy? Summer's boy was kicking like crazy during our meeting the other day... I'm living out your pregnancy through her belly :)

Ok... gotta go relax and watch tv.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!! (in case I don't blog before then)

Christmas Time

Wow! I can't believe it's almost Christmas! We have had sooo many Christmas parties to go to and then decided to hold one on the laaaassssttt weekend before Christmas. It has been great to spend so much time this month with family, friends and coworkers.

Megan took Thanksgiving to reflect on family and now I'm taking Christmas to reflect. I honestly feel this is already one of my favorite Christmases (and Christmas isn't even here yet). It went from a completely isolated holiday in the past to celebrating and smiling and spending time with people I care about every weekend. I can't wait for Christmas day to spend at Mom and Dad's with the family. One of my favorite memories of Christmas is always later that night when we are sitting around the table joking around and talking like we are all still kids again. I want to thank everyone in advance for spending Christmas Day with us. Brian and Mykenzie feel very welcome around the family. That was my first rule when I met Brian, I will NEVER miss another Christmas with my family.

Mom and Dad, and Pam, Rob and the kids.... Thank you for being there Saturday night. We appreciated you spending time with us.

Skip, Kim and the girls... We are doing it again next year and I will give you more notice so you can make sure you are there.

Denise, Eric and the boys... how about flying home next year for Christmas??????

Merry Christmas family! See you in 3 days :)

P.S. The camera didn't make its way out until later so I don't have any pictures of Mom and Dad or Pam, Rob and 3 of their kids. Maybe Christmas
