And it begins again......

My little break is now over and for the next few weeks will be very busy!!! I don't know what I was thinking deciding to take 4 classes and still work full time! Oh yeah, that I want to be done with school! That is my incentive to put my head down and just barrel through it, and int he end it will all be worth it. So I went yesterday and picked up my books for my classes, luckly one of my classes isn't using a book so I only had to buy 3 books, but I walked out of the bookstore still spending $220, that is crazy!! So this is what I will be looking at a lot of for the next couple of months.

Disney

Well living so close to Disney has it's advantages, that and a sister who works there! Yesterday I was able to take Allyson for the day! We had so much fun and didn't feel pressured to see everything and wear ourselves out either. We went on a few rides had lunch, and saw a couple of princess. I didn't even bring my camera, I really just wanted to have fun.

We got a Wii

Steve went to Best Buy a few days ago to pick up his order, and while in line he heard them say that they had a couple of Wii's in stock, so guess what he came home with? That's right a new Wii. I'm usually not the video type of person but this dang thing is addicting and pretty user friendly too! The first day we had it we played it when I got home from work at 5:00 and I didn't turned it off, until Steve left for work, at 11:00! Geez I'm going to get nothing accomplished this weekend at this rate! We have played every night! I love the bowling!

Happy New Year

Well another year has past, and we are on our way to another great year. This past year went by so fast, I still can't believe it's 2008 already! Last night Allyson and I rang in the new years watching the ball drop and toasting our "champagne" (which was really just sparkling grape juice), Allyson thought that was the best thing ever and to drink it from one of my real wine glasses made it even better. After the ball dropped we walked outside to watch some of the fireworks that was going on all around us, and then we were in bed by 1:00 this morning. Steve got to ring in the new year at work again, I can't remember the last new year's he was home with us.

I try not to make too many new year resolutions mostly for the fact that I never follow thru with them, but this year I am going to try to be a better mom, and continue to get good grades in school. Not much longer and I will be done with school! Yeah!!

Allyson's wisdom

Some of the things that Allyson says I wonder where in the world she gets it from. This is what she tells me as we are horse playing around on the couch:
Her: Mom please don't torture me!
Me: What?
Her: Let me tell you what I'm talking about.
Me: OK
Her: Well the way you would torture me is like please don't stick scissors in my ears, that would be the worst torture.
Me: Have I ever stuck scissors in your ears? Or has anyone else stuck scissors in your ears?
Her: Well no, but that would be torture. I'm such a dork, Mom!

I swear I don't know where she comes up with these things, and I promise I have never stuck scissors in her ears for any type of torture or punishment! lol

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!!!!

I hope everyone reading this is having a wonderful Christmas with their families and that Santa was good to you!

New Car

Well we finally decided to trade in Steve's truck. He had only had the truck for about 6 months but with the transfer at work he was driving so much farther and with the truck we were putting in like $70-75 a week in gas so we went and got a Chrylsler Sebring. I'm really surprised how sporty and roomy this car is. This car is going to get 32 mile a gallon compared to his truck getting 19 miles a gallon, so we are hoping to really see a big difference at the gas tank! I will post pictures this weekend, he wants to clean it and make it all pretty before I take pictures!
