Had a little Christmas gathering on the 23rd at my dad's.I made a roast and we played games :-)
Ironically, Dad had Christmas off this year, but Amy had to go to work! But she didn't go in until 3:30, so we had a nice family time before. Daddy and I headed to Katie, Jason, and Amy's apt around 12 (our fam. now gets started late...no 4 am mornings like when we were kids!). We ate, opened gifts, played new games, ate some more, and just relaxed!
My friends and I had decided to have a quiet New Years this year. What we didn't anticipate was having to hike up and down Haskell Cyn Rd for an hour in the dark! OMG...Jess left her purse on top of the car when we left the grocery store. We discovered it 20 minutes later, raced back to the store, searched the parking lot, and found nothing. Luckily, there are still some nice people in the world and a couple driving down Haskell saw it on the side of the road and picked it up. Jess's phone number was on her checks, so we got it back. Unfortunately, it was a bit windy and her drivers license, social security card, 4 credit cards, her inhalers, and a bunch of receipts had blown away. So....in my little black heels, cute jeans, and little pink shirt...I walked up and down Haskell Cyn Rd. with Jessica and Audra searching the streets for missing items. We walked up and down for an hour..but....I found her drivers license and social security card! So...it was well worth looking like a hooker on New Years Eve. The rest of the evening was uneventful. We all went back to dad's and ate and played wii until about midnight (btw JESSICA...I did not cheat during Smarty Pants :-)
I'm looking forward to the new year. But I enter 2009 with a heavy heart. Katie is not doing well. She wasn't able to leave the house since I got here and is almost always on oxygen. She needs a new pair of lungs. Please pray that lungs will become available soon....
A couple more days and I'll be home. I miss Shawn and my doggies!! Happy New Years friends! xoxo, Jill
