Thank You and Thank You!

I would like to personally thank a couple of people...

1st the a$s hole that plowed in the end of my driveway while I was gone for Christmas. I loved coming home from vacation only to discover there was no way I could get in my driveway. Leaving a place for me to park by my mailbox was a nice touch. (Who does that???).

2nd P's husband for being so kind as to drive his 4-wheeler over and plow me out.

Snow!

Sigh of Relief

Well, Christmas is finally over. This was my families first Christmas since my grandma passed away and it is nice to have it behind us. We decided to not do the big family get together because my grandpa wanted to have a small deal with the republican side of the family, of course, he bowed out at the last minute and didn't even go. Anyways...we had a great time at my brother's mother in law's place. My niece was so excited about her presents it was so cute. She definitely took note of who gave her what because when she came up to me to give me a hug she made a remark about me only giving her one gift. Little stinker.

Late Saturday C made it home from visiting his family in Wisconsin. It was so good to see him. We exchanged our gifts, he gave me an all inclusive weekend get away, and sipped Chai. I am finding it harder and harder to leave him at the end of the weekends. We were going to go away for New Years, but I don't think the weather is going to cooperate. Bummer...oh well, I know/hope we will have many other opportunities to go away together.

It's Here

This is the view from my office window this morning

Boyfriend

You brought me flowers, no one has ever given me flowers "just because" before. I had so much fun hiking with you, cooking with you, and introducing you to a few of my friends. Thank you for showing me how to run my snow blower, and then doing my driveway. Thank you for plunging, gross!!! I picture us doing stuff 6 months from now too!

This one goes out to:

"A" from work who once hit a moose with his Geo.

Thank you C for passing this along.

Survived

We just laid off 3 people from our department. The good news is I wasn't one of them, the bad news is that my good friend J was.

Big hugs to J.

Meet the Fockers

Thank you C (from this point forward C3 will be knows as C), for an amazing weekend. I can honestly say I enjoyed every moment I spent with you. It was so nice getting to meet your friends and co-workers. Thank you for going shoe shopping with me (promise I won't make you do that again).

Perhaps meeting my family so early in our relationship was not my smartest move. Thank you for being such a great sport. Hopefully I didn't scare you away!

Can't believe I have to wait five days to see you.

Crazy Wonderful Weekend

I left work early on Wednesday and met C3 at his place for Sushi and some cuddle time by the fire. You would be proud to know that I ate real Sushi, not just the cooked kind. I spent the night with him for the first time, and let me tell you my lumberjack flannel PJ's were a big hit (what was I thinking???).

On Thursday my parents hosted Thanksgiving. We had 22 people over for dinner. It was a mad house. The best part....when Kona pooped in the basement and my Dad discovered it while giving a "tour of the house" to my cousins that were visiting from out of town. AWESOME!! Kona felt a little under the weather because she ate large amounts of green Kong. I beat Jacob at arm wrestling, but know in about a year he will be able to beat me.

Found out that Grandpa asked some lady that my grandma was friends with back in junior high to live with him. Luckily, she doesn't appear to be crazy and said no.

On Saturday I went to a cookie party and then met up with C3 for a lovely dinner at the Down River Grill. The next day we took the dogs for a walk by Bowl and Pitcher and then had lunch at the Elk. Oh, and he called me his "girlfriend" which I liked very much!

All in all it was a great weekend.
