Official Family picture

Here are our official family pictures for the year. My awesome cousin Audrie took them family one, but I took the other.

Mom's Weekend

Well starting last year my mom's group has decided to take a mom's weekend. Last year I went but ended up being terribly sick the whole time I was there. It was not fun. Just this last weekend was when we went. Here are a few pictures.


Those two are the lovely ladies I rode with.


This was a normal scene during the day. Everybody working and doing their own thing. At night however is when the craziness started. It was a fun trip as usual. I didn't get as much sleep as I hoped for; alot less in fact. But it was a good trip.

New family picture

Here's a family picture that we took in December. It was before Madison's preschool program and Andrew's work Christmas party.

Three Santas!

Mikah is such a cheeser in pictures. Madison and Jenna love to play with him, although Jenna has a tendency to act as the older sister and not be so nice to him. Poor kid.

Goodbye Heath

To say I was shocked would be a slight understatement. When a celebrity like him dies, one that I really like, I ask myself why I'm so affected by it. Is it because of death in general or is it because he was someone I liked a lot? I'm still not really sure, but I keep thinking it's a mistake. I keep going to the news site and looking for something to happen. I guess you could say I'm in the denial stage of grief. But why? I didn't know him personally. I knew his as an actor. I liked the roles he played and I thought he chose them well. Anyway my heart does go out to his daughter. I have a 2 year old myself and I couldn't imagine leaving her. For her sake I hope it was accidental.

May you now rest in peace Heath.

What to do?

So I decided that I'm not going to be able to get my BA (not terribly upset about that). But I'm not too sure what I do want to do after I get my AA in March. I just don't have time or money for a BA right now. Maybe in the future I'll work for a place that reimburses for school, that would be nice. Anyway I'm not sure yet if I want to get a part time job. Hubby sure doesn't want me to and for good reason. If I were to get a job there is a part of me that thinks I'd regret it. But for now I'll finish school, get my AA, take a couple of classes about accounting and chill for a bit after that.
