Breathing a bit easier...

My Dad was admitted to the hospital yesterday. Seems, like his children, he no longer needed a gall bladder, so it rejected him causing great misery and pain. While there, they found some other fun.

Well, today he had the gall bladder removed (amazing considering how much gall he really has) and he is back to feeling his crazy old self. The other items also seem to have disappeared, so life can get back to normal.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Best Day Ever

Thank you hubby and kiddos for making yesterday awesome! We celebrated my birthday early this year in case hubby has to be out of town for the actual day. It was all a surprise. I knew we had to leave the house by noon, but that's all anyone would tell me. First stop was the mall. He took me shoping for whatever I wanted! WOO HOO! I had lots of fun, though I was a cheap date as usual. I can't help it, I LOVE a good sale. I got 2 cute new tops and a new pair of shoes and a new pair of black boots all for less than a hundred dollars. I know I shouldn't be all excited about being cheap on my birthday, but you girls know the feeling we get when we hit a kick butt sale. Then we went to dinner at Long Horn, which was great. We were going to go to Cheesecake Factory (my fav) but was not even close to being that hungery. The best part of the night was going to go see Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochery. They were so amazingly hysterical. The only part we are sad about is that we didn't take the kids. We weren't sure about the content. But for the most part it was completely fine. So next year I hope they come back to our area and the whole family can go. Thank you family for a great birthday! xoxo I love you

The way to end the new year...

Is to start with pep talks for all those missed resolutions.

Ugh!!! We NOW return you to your blogging pleasure...

Finally, after a host move and some other fun drama, the blog is back, and just in time for 2008!

Have a happy new year and I'm sure there'll be more to follow. The standing website may take a bit to get back to speed, but I'll hopefully get that running right over the next couple days as well.
