The way these blogs are posted I want to make sure you realize that there is a blog before this one, so make sure you scroll down so you don't miss any of the events. LOL
I left off on Christmas day. On the Friday after Christmas I had to work until 5pm. I was going to play volleyball but received a text from my friend, Jenn, inviting me and a few others over to her house to play Wii Rock Band. I decided to go to her house instead of volleyball and asked if I could just stay the night (it is a long ride to her house.) When I arrived Mark, Jeff, Karin and Jenn were playing. Mark was singing and Karin was on the drums. It was interesting to watch them play. Karin took over the mike but was trying to sing all prim and proper (doesn't work with Rock Bank.) I got on the mike and mocked the song and actually did well. At one point, I was singing, Karin was on the drums and Jenn was on the guitar playing the song "29 fingers" by the Konks. What a hilarious song! We did great! We had Mark take photos of us and we all had a good laugh. The evening was a success with much music and laughter.
The next day I was going to go home but instead hung out with Jenn all day. She went to her weight watchers meeting and then we went shopping. She had never been to Kohl's so we stopped and were there for about hours. We found many great deals. Who can pass up a shirt for $2.00. I was trying on clothes I might have otherwise passed by. Jenn got a lot of good deals also. After Kohls we went to lunch at Panera Bread and then to Best Buy to find Wii games. We headed back home to be there in time for the gang to arrive around 4pm. We got to her house just before 4pm and I still had to take a shower. Ugh!
Mark, Jeff, Karin, Bill, Jenn and I were there for the party. We prepared spagetti for dinner and then got back on the Rock Band. We had a wonderful time. There were many good laughs. This time I did go home at the end of the evening.
I am so thankful for good times with good friends, even if at times it can be embarrassing. :)
Until next time!

Yes, It's me!
Yes, I am blogging again. Like I said in my last blog, I always have good intentions of writing down some thoughts but then get too caught up in other things. Plus blogging does take some thought and by the end of the day, I am tired and do not want to think anymore for the day.
So just the other night my friend Mark was commenting to me that I haven't blogged in a while and he misses it. My mom was sitting next to him and said she missed it as well. So this blog is for the two of you. I am thankful people read and find pleasure in my life and thoughts. I find it amusing but also a bit intimidating. Oh, well!
Since it has been a month since I last wrote, I will try to keep to the highlights of the past month. Christmas this year was better than I expected. I was under the impression that my family would not be celebrating until the Monday after Christmas which had me a bit bummed. However, that is not how it turned out. On Christmas Eve I had to work until 3pm. I was going to go to the 6pm service at the Chapel but was extremely tired from being up late the evening before for my family's annual open house and having to be at work early. Also it was raining and I was concerned that it would turn to freezing rain before I got home. So instead of going to church I played with my sisters and nieces on the Wii. My niece, Dakota, kicked my butt in the fishing game and my sister, Cassandra, kicked my butt in the cow racing. It did not matter because we had a great time.
On Christmas morning, I was able to sleep in and when I came downstairs my mom and dad gave me their Christmas gifts. I was not prepared for this because like I said I thought we were not celebrating until the following Monday. The rest of the day was relaxing. Some of my brothers and sister's exchanged gifts and we watched my nieces open a couple gifts. Have little one's around at Christmas is wonderful. They have so much excitement and it passes along to everyone in the room.
In the afternoon, my brother, Ryan, sister-in-law, Tammi and my nephews, Michael and Matthew arrived in town from Newark, Ohio. Then the festivities really began. Everyone gathered in our front room and we exchanged gifts. It was like a tornado came through the room. It was a wonderful experience to share Christmas with family and start new traditions.
I am glad any expectations I had where crushed and the actual happenings hold many great memories that cannot be erased.
Until next time!
Blessings to you
