Christmas/ Winter Vacation

Well, just like that and Christmas is gone!!

We had a great Christmas, we went to my parents house for Christmas Eve and had dinner and exchanged gifts with all of my family, then we went and watched Night at the Museum.

We got all the girls in my family tickets to go see the Cheetah Girls concert in Salt Lake City on the 15th. I gave them their tickets in a CD case, When they opened them they were a little confused, because there was no CD, just the ticket. I told them if they didn't understand to turn it over and read the back of the CD, on the back it said exactly what we we're going to be doing from the date, to the concert, to where we are going to stay. Out of all the girls McKayla was the first one to get it, she started to shake and cry as she understood what her present was!!! Marissa was the next to understand then Kierra and then Hailey, and I still think Hailey doesn't fully understand! But, she will when the time comes! It was by far the best present we ever got them!! They will have a memory to last a life time instead of a toy that won't last!!!

On Christmas we stayed home and I cooked a turkey (it was very good!!). Christmas was nice and quite and it went by very fast!

I can't believe it's already Friday, three more days and winter break will be over!!! What was the school district thinking? I think the children deserve two weeks off not one!! They need the break!! I need the break!!

Tracking Santa with NORAD

There's lots of ways to track your relatives' flights in real-time, but there's one jolly fellow in red who doesn't file an official flight plan with the FAA who's a little tougher to track over the holidays. That's right, Santa Claus. Luckily the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has been tracking Santa for us for more than 50 years, and this year's no different.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Marissa's Goose Egg!

Today while Marissa was in P.E class she was running to get a ball, when she tripped and hit a brick wall with her head. She got a huge goose egg on her forehead!! I think it scared her more than anything! I think it also scared Dan and I just as bad!! Dan called me at work and told me what happened and I ended up leaving because I was so upset!! (It's not everyday I get a call saying Marissa's hurt!) It's very hard when your not there and you don't know what's going on! Marissa's fine, we brought her home from school and she hung out with her Dad. After composing myself I went back to work, and the world is right again!!

We are going to Salt Lake City tommorow to do a little more Christmas shopping and to take Marissa ice skating for the first time! I'm soo excited, it's been along time since I've been myself. We are also going to look at the Christmas lights at the Temple. We are staying at the Plaza, it will be nice because we"ll be right across the street.

We are now on Christmas vacation, Yay!!! One week off, I still think we should have more off. Whatever happened to two weeks? I'm so glad!

We went to see Rocky tonight, all I can say is don't waste your money!! I was so upset how everything played out in the movie! Rocky is a all American movie and they went and destroyed it!! What really got me upset is his wife was killed off from the begining of the movie. What were they thinking? Their love was a classic love story! They were suppose to grow old with each other! Don't even get me started on the last fight!! And in the movie Rocky was driving a Van, HELLO? I get Rocky is an all American guy and he's suppose to be simple but come on!! The Van wasn't even a Chevy!! They could of at least put him in an older Chevy pick-up!!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Eight More Days!!!

Eight more days until Christmas!!!

Marissa's home with the flu

I'm finally done with school, Whaooo!! For this semester at least! Marissa has spent this whole weekend sick, poor girl! I think she has the flu, not fun!

We where going to go to the Christmas fireworks at Khoury's, I guess not anymore! We will be able to see them from our house, so that will be okay!!

Eight more days until Christmas, and oh, so much more shopping to do!!

I'm so HAPPY!

This evening I'm so HAPPY! I'm all done with my math class and my technology class. After freaking out over my math test all day yesterday (hysterically freaking out!) I turned it into my teacher today and asked her to review it really quick and she said they all looked good! So, did I hear that right, 100%? Yay!!
Thursday is my last class for Diversity, The last thing I have to do in that class is present a multi-cultural book. I like those kind of assignments!

The Elko area is in a shortage for wood pellets. Sure, we finally get a pellet stove and we can't seem to find any pellets! Isn't that the way it usually goes!

Brrr... It's Cold Out!

The End of the Semester and a Little Venting!

The end of the semester is FINALLY here! Thank-God! I have to do some math homework, a math test and finish one more portfolio and I'll be all done! Yay!!! I'm soo excited my classes are almost done! Twenty credits down and a billion to go! I'll get there one day, hopefully!

Wow, fifteen more days until Christmas. I can't believe it! I did some Christmas shopping today, all the people out was insane. I thought it was the time of the year to be more cheery? I think someone should tell all the rude people out there! I would like to know, What ever happened to good customer service? I swear the teenagers today need to be smacked! (or their parents need it for raising them to be like that) Their so rude!

Marissa only gets a week out of school this year for Christmas vacation, what's that about? I'm very bothered by this! Don't they already work their tails off? I only get a week off of work too, we had to add a week of new curriculum to boot. I say they should have just given the week off to us. What's it all coming to anyways? Time goes by so fast anymore.

We all need to step in the slow pace of life for awhile just to regroup.
