Chuck E. Cheese

Chuck E. Cheese's is really adult code for HELL on earth. I think if you've been as an adult you'll agree. I remember going as a kid thinking this place is awesome. But then something happens...something terrible. This place of awesomeness turns suddenly without warning to a place of doom. I'd rather a poke in the eye...seriously! I was watching my niece and nephew on Saturday and "we" decided to go to Chuck E. Cheese. Okay. No problem, right?? WRONG! The parking lot was packed! We had to wait for a parking spot, then wait outside in the pouring rain in line to get inside, then wait in line to order food, then wait for the food, then wait in line to ride the rides or play the games, then wait in line to reciept our tickets, then wait in line to pick a prize...so, after $40 and two hours (90% waiting in a line) we left with a belly ache from the really greasy pizza and a small glitter packet (our ticket prize). I sound really negative, but the kids had a great time. Both of them feel asleep on the ride home...finally peace and quiet! Just a quick stop at Costco to buy a jumbo size container of hand sanitizer (for my whole body); I'm not a germaphobe but that place was dirty!

Snowmobiling

I went snowmobiling with some friends. It was great fun! I still don't have my computer up yet, so I don't have all the pictures I took with my camera. I used a friends computer to post. This picture is of my friend Cody totally wiping out! I haven't been snowmobiling for soooo long! I'm doing great and having a lot of fun! I'm still staying with my sister; I don't have a move-in date yet for my new place. When I finally get my computer up and all of my pictures downloaded, I'll post some more of them. Sorry for slacking! Are you happy now? I posted!!

Christmas Eve Day

Charlie Brown Christmas is one of my most favorite Christmas movies...along with Frosty! I'm usually the type of person that has all of the their Christmas shopping done and decorations up before December even begins...usually...not this year though. So much has happened over the last couple weeks and I'm still trying to catch up. I'm not in my duplex yet...hopefully soon...so, I'm still staying with my sister. It will be fun to stay with her family for the Holidays, but I can't help but feel like I'm living out of a suit case. Last night JD and I went to dinner and exchanged Christmas presents; it was a lot of fun, just like old times, but this morning he left for Argentina. It was hard but I'm excited for the new things to come. So, now on Christmas Eve day I finally have some free time to get the rest of my shopping done. Merry Christmas!!

CRAZY!!!

I'm going crazy...I'm just waiting for the men in white coats to drag me a way! We've had a laundry list of things to finish on the house before it was official. Now that the list is complete I've been starting to pack. It's been a lot harder than I planned on, but also very therapeutic...so is the wine rack, if I drink all the wine I don't have to pack it! I keep saying I don't have that much stuff to pack, and then I open another drawer or closet and list goes on. I found a duplex in Bountiful, but it won't be ready before I need to be out of my house. So, I'll move in with my sister until it's ready. Maybe living with a couple kids for a little while will help me have some compassion for those of my dear friends with kids during this hectic season! JD is leaving Christmas morning for Argentina; traveling on the actual Holiday is saving him a lot of money. We have really cut things down to the wire: we sign the papers over on the house and then JD leaves a week later...I am truly blessed!!!! Things have just really worked out! Now, will someone please bless me with sanity!
