It is 2007!!

So my first blog of the new year is a little late. It has already been a busy beginning of the year! Lets go over the end of last year first...

Christmas: We had a lot of Christmas' this year. On the 23rd we went to Ray's dad's in Port Orchard. That was a lot of fun, the dogs actually were getting along! We had oyster stew and chicken, wonderful like always! His dad and Maggie really seemed to enjoy the gifts we gave them so that was nice. On Christmas Eve I got off work and went to my parents to watch the game and then to church. Christmas morning Ray and I had here with Max, then I left to my parents, then to my aunts and then to Rhonda's. A very busy day! I got SOOO much kitchen stuff so that was great! 13 cookbooks total this year!


Birthday: On my bday my mom and I got manis and pedis and went shopping. Then that night family (Williams and Blankenbecklers) came over for dinner. I got even more kitchen stuff! Yippiee!! We had planned on going to the casino on Friday with Jess and Steve but things didn't work out. Ray and I went to Ikea instead and got a few things, the entertainment center we wanted was sold out though.

New Year's Eve: We spend with Jess and Steve and a lot of family at Vickie and Kevin's. It was soo good to see everyone again! It was a fun night and there is a video of it out there! Scary! It was so good to see Jess and Steve the night before for the UFC fight as well! Miss them already!

New Year's Day: I spent with my family at the William's while Ray was sick at home. We played Texas Hold 'Em most of the day. My aunt and I actually ended up bring the same thing to make that day and for some reason mine didn't turn out as well as they had the night before. I hate when I make something for people and it doesn't work. I feel stupid then.

Work: Ynette has given her two weeks so her last day is the 21st. It stinks that she is leaving because we get along really well but her moving to Everett makes sense. I really want the assistant position and I will do whatever I need to, to show that I can handle it. I think work will be better as well since Ynette is leaving and that caused a lot of tension in the office with her and Tiffany. Just sad to see her go.

Sickness: As far as my sickness goes, it's all better now. I stopped taking all the pills I was taking and I'm feeling SOO much better! Yeah for no more pills as well!

Weather: We've had the craziest weather this winter and we got even more this week. Tuesday started off with a big storm and a light dusting of snow everything. Then Wednesday was the snow storm. I left Snohomish at 3:30 and got home at 6pm (usually 45 min drive) and the sucky thing was that the snow was moving south so I was just behind the moving clouds the whole way home. It was a scary drive once I got off the freeway and came up the hill. Everything is so icy now, the parking lot here is just plain ice! I think we got a total of 6 inches here, and pretty much everywhere had that as a minimum.

That is it so far, going to take some more pictures of the pretty snow now that it is sunny out. That is the best when there is snow and sun!
