Hey everyone!  I got all my Christmas pictures uploaded so I will share some with you at the end of this post!  Today I didnt have to work!  It was so great!  I don't have to babysit this week either because they are out of town!  Soooo, what did I do today???  SCRAPBOOK!  ha ha.  I have talked about it in many posts before how much I love scrapbooking - so today was my ideal way to spend a day!  I got up and went over to my parents house and me and my mom scrapbooked all day long.  Well, we did take 2 quick breaks - the first was for lunch.  We had turkey burgers, apples, and green beans - delicious.  Then we ran to Von Maur real quick to do an errand - I can't give you anymore details on this errand because the person we were shopping for is a reader of my blog =)  Let's just say it was wedding related!  he he.  It was nice to not have to work at BBW today - although I really do like working there.  It's super easy and I like all the people that work there.  Did I mention the paycheck?? ha ha.

Anyways, now I am home though waiting for David to get home to have dinner.  Last night I made chicken in the crockpot for us, and tonight is the leftovers.  Yum!  I think then after dinner we are going to run to Sports Authority.  I got some gift cards to SA for christmas and this morning in an email I got some coupons so i was going to head over there and maybe get some new running shoes!  My old shoes have quite a few miles on them, so I think its time to get a new pair!  Nothing inspires you to workout more than new gear! =)

Thanks for reading!

Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone! Hopefully people are still following my blog even though I have been absent from posting in awhile!  I have to start by saying what a GREAT Christmas this was!  Does anyone ever feel like some years its a really great holiday and other years its just so so?  Last year was one of those years - not because we didn't get great presents, or spend lots of time with family but we were leaving town the next day and we spent the whole holiday rushing around getting ready to leave town.  On top of it, there was a blizzard and 2 feet of snow, so we were nervous about getting to the airport, and missing our flights, etc.  Well, I just knew this Christmas was going to be a good one!  I just had a feeling.  Boy was I right!!  Christmas Eve, we went to church at 3 and then went to a Christmas party.  I wasn't checking my phone at all because I didn't think anyone would be calling me!  When I got to my parents I ran upstairs to say "Hi" to Tricia (she didn't come to church and the party because she had to work!) and give her these cake pops I got at the party for her!  Well, forget the Cake Pops - SHE GOT ENGAGED!!!  It was so exciting!  I could type this entire blog about all the wedding planning we have already done but we will get to that another time!  I will  finish up the holidays first! =)

Christmas eve was a blast.  It was so fun seeing how excited Tricia was and calling all her friends and family.  My Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, cousin and all my family was there for dinner and presents then!  We had our usual Christmas dinner of beef tenderloin, twice baked potatoes, and asparagus caserole.  It was the best dinner!  Although I am probably biased - but my mom is the best cook in the world!  We had cookies that me and my mom had made and they were the best cookies we have ever made - did I mention that I just knew this Christmas was going to be a good one???!!!  =)  After dinner we exchanged gifts and then sat around and talked and had a few drinks.  It was a perfect night.

The next morning we got up and went over to my parents and opened presents.  Its always fun to open presents and see everyone's reaction to their gifts.  I will post some pictures here soon - but my dad's reaction to his gifts is the best.  He had a theme this year - everything was either golf or husker related.  I think he liked all his gifts except the old man husker sweater we got him - ha ha ha, he said he liked the one David got better and hated his.  Hopefully I have a picture of both these sweaters to show cause it was so funny!  =)  You are right dad, David's was much cooler than yours! =)  After presents we went over to Anderson's for more fun!  We had our traditional "Christmas Margaritas" and had lunch and then opened presents.  We watched some home movies of David and Emily when they were little and it was SO cute to see them as kids.  I really enjoyed watching the home movies!

Overall it was a great Christmas!!  Thank you everyone for all the fun gifts!  Will post some pictures from Christmas soon!
Thanks for reading!

So starting a blog right before the Holidays probably wasn't the best idea as we all know how crazy life get's!  So, for the third post in a row, I apologize for not posting very often!  Life the last few weeks has flown by - i have been super busy - but in a really good and fun way!  I have been working at Bath and Body works a ton lately.  I am really enjoying the job and its been REALLY fun to see a paycheck deposited into my checking account!  =)  The last time i posted it was my birthday (last weekend!).  I will upload some pictures this weekend for everyone to see!  Unfortunately the Huskers didn't win, but oh well.  I still had a great birthday.  On Sunday I scrapbooked at my parents house all day with my mom!  It was super fun.  Sunday night we went to Kobe's for dinner and then back to my parents house for cake and presents.  I got super cool presents from my sister and parents and I am so lucky.  I am not sure if I mentioned it in an earlier post or not, but David got me the Canon Rebel T2i camera for my bday!  It is seriously so awesome.  I am still learning how to use it, and having so much fun with both the lenses.  It is so fun to have a big clear camera to use!  Thanks David!!  You are the best!  I haven't had to babysit this week because the kids have been sick - so that has actually been kinda nice to have the week off.  It gave me  a chance to work on our xmas cards - which i just dropped in the mail today!  The rest of the week I have been working and that's about it.  I guess I have one kinda funny story - so yesterday at work I had told mom to stop in because the 3 wick candles she likes were on sale 2 for $20.  So, she comes in, i introduce her to everyone and she walks over to the candles.  As she reaches up to grab a candle the shelf breaks (its really high up) and the entire shelf of candles come crashing down on her head and on the floor.  She literally broke like 12 candles.  LOL!!!!!!!  I am laughing now only because she didnt get hurt.
Anyways - thank you for still reading my blog!

29 Years Ago....

Well, today is my 29th birthday!!  And I am spending it in the most perfect way possible!  Unfortunately I had to work all afternoon, but I honestly didn't really mind much.  Then all I wanted to do tonight was come home, put on my Nebraska sweatshirt, watch the football game, drink a beer, and order pizza on my couch at home.  I am typing this while I sit on the couch doing just  this with the best husband in the whole world, my sister who is my best friend, and her boyfriend Mike.  I honestly couldn't think of a better way to spend my birthday.  I know I haven't really blogged much this week - but when I started this blog I said I didnt know exactly how much I would be blogging.  Some weeks more than other weeks and this was a slow week.  Mainly because I have been really sick.  I have had a terrible cold and every free minute I have had at home I am sleeping.  On Thursday I got done with work at 3 and came straight home and basically slept until 10am on Friday morning.  Ok, gonna get back to the game - hopefully I can post tomorrow about a Husker win =)
Thanks for reading!
