New Year
Happy New Year everyone. I know this year HAS to be better than the last.. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.
Our family managed to get through Christmas quite well actually. I was surprised. I think we knew it was going to be very different and Emily and Kyle helped to make it special and filled with fun. They spent the night and bought Rock Band with the Beatles addition too. So after we had our traditional opening of the gifts and breakfast, we rocked out to the Beatles. I have to say it was fun and I was worried how we would spend the rest of Christmas day. I did not want it to be a sad day, as Christmas was such an important holiday for Craig. He didn't get the nick name Clark Griswold by being a scrooge. He had to have the biggest tree, the house decorated to the hilt and surprise gifts for all of us.
After playing Rock Band. We had a very untraditional meal. Emily and I made stuffed cabbage. I tried to pass down a tradition and she was very quick as learning how to make cabbage rolls. (one of Craig's favorite meals) We had dinner and reminisced all through the day. It was a wonderful holiday, considering. Emily and Kyle helped to make sure of that.
New Years I went to a party at the Eakers. It was great to see old friends that I hadn't seen in a very long time.
I canceled my trip to Aruba in March as I didn't have anyone to go with. I certainly did not want to go by myself. So now I have 3 trips I have to use by 2012!! Any takers
I also just finished chapter 4 of my book. So I am on track, however I think the book will be longer than 20 chapters, therefore it may take more time to finish.
I am hosting my first "party" at my house on the 23 of January for some people that Craig use to work with. It will be nice to see them again. I still keep in contact with them by phone or email, but I have not seen them in a long time, so I am looking forward to seeing them and having my house filled with happiness again. I love to entertain and have not done so in so long I am really can't wait to have people over.
Well, I guess that is it for now. Keep warm.
BELIEVING,
Shelly
