The cake!



Well, i turned 26! Yes, you read right! It was very enjoyable birthday. It was also the first birthday that i didn't have to work in a while. As a special treat it was the first time in quite a while that it snowed! So my mom made pancakes for breakfast and Jennifer took me to see Australia and then Transporter 3, both movies were excellent. Then we came home and made lasagna, opened presents and ate cake! I really enjoyed all of my friends for posting something on facebook or texting me! Thanks!

It's Christmas!!!

Well it was a long hard year for my family and especially for me personally, but I made it through and it was worth it! It's Christmas Time! Finally, it was a close call, but well worth the wait! The trees are lit, stockings hung, and cards...well there in process! I don't know how a simple thing such as christmas lights can bring such happiness, but i'm grateful for it!
