Like Holiday magic...poof, I am back!
I have heard from a few of you, even passing in the halls at work "why don't you blog anymore? Where have you been? Is everything alright?" I even heard from my friend Pete...thanks PETE! SO...to answer those questions and a few more, here goes in a nutshell.
Everything is GREAT! Life is great as we get ready to go into a busy holiday season. Funny I was at the doctor one day (no worries) and he said "so are you getting ready to relax during the holidays?" I had to laugh and answer "no, my husband is in retail and I work for a church, NOT A CHANCE!" But, I am ready, excited and looking forward to the hustle and bustle. I just pray that I don't miss a moment with my family that I can never get back! I have bought a few gifts and look forward to actually making my shopping list and getting started. I have attended 2 Christmas parties, one being today in LA. This one was at one of our vendors who serves AMAZING desserts!
The kids are great. Holly and Nick are still going strong and we even accepted an invitation to go bowling and lunch with his entire family last Monday even though I tried to think of a million excuses to not go! David reminded me that again "it's not about me!" We ended up having a very nice day and then off to another party(just David and I) that night with another vendor of mine and this one was TOP of the TOP in food, atmosphere and entertainment! What a great night that was!
Matt is impressing us ALL OVER THE PLACE! He is almost an straight A student and loves school, getting up at 4:00am the last 3 Saturdays to go to work with David to help prepare the store for the holidays! His size 17 feet are driving me INSANE because he can't quite coordinate them but HEY if that is the least of my worries...I am STOKED!
We have Kelly's teacher conference on Monday....yeah, I get to sit and listen to a 300 year old lady tell me what she thinks Kelly knows! Yet, I am pretty sure she is deaf and has Alzheimer's! I know MEAN...but seriously people she is pushing 300!
I have purchased yet another new phone! It's another Treo but it's the 680 and I LOVE IT! NO, nothing is wrong with the old one but after the "time change glitch" I just didn't want to take another risk!
So, I know that doesn't tell you much but our days have been full or extremely quiet around here! I have tons of pictures from a few occasions but I am not sure posting them without the stories will help. Maybe I will back track and tell some stories this week...just maybe!
Oh...and I got pulled over by the NICEST COP EVER today! He didn't even give me a ticket (well, really he had NO REASON) but he was so kind when he figured out that he couldn't ticket me AND upon asking me where I was going because I was a little frazzled (yes, I almost cried not knowing what to do...I know BABY)! He seemed concerned that I was upset and didn't want me to drive far (this is a story for another day...just a teaser) I told him "Saddleback Church" and he smiled and told me to have a GREAT DAY! He was super super nice....the last time I got pulled over years ago for going 11 miles over the speed limit the cop was SUPER mean!
