I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a great time at the cabin on the lake. I’ve got a few funny stories, but I’ll tell you about them tomorrow and download some pictures, too. I haven’t done a grains of gratitude post in a few weeks. I guess it’s about time to do [...]

What an exhausting week. Hope everyone remembered to fall back last night as daylight savings time ended. I certainly couldn’t forget since I was at work.

First, I wanted to say “Happy Birthday, Ryan!” Today is my husband’s 33rd birthday. Not sure how we will be celebrating yet. I am sure cake must be involved since I told Gabi this morning, “It’s daddy’s birthday, today!” She said, “Yay cake mmmmmmmm I lub it!”

Old Friends- I recently started a myspace page and looked up some old friends. I have gotten in touch with a few of them to find out how they’ve been since high school. (Can you believe they asked if I am going to the 20 yr reunion? I can’t believe [...]
