Friends

It's not fun to think about getting older (unless you think of the alternative!) but when you celebrate with friends, then it is fun! There are four of us who get together and do things together, scrapbooking (yes Sara puts up with it!!), eat, movies, play games, whatever. It is just fun to hang out together. Well, a couple of us have birthdays this week, so the four of us had decided to go out and eat and go to a movie Friday. All was great until a snowstorm came. I work in Imperial and the snow was worse there, so I was a little worried that we wouldn't be able to do this. I really needed a fun girl's night out. Plus one of the four's husband works for the Roads Dept, so I was afraid he might have to go to work and couldn't stay home with the kids. But the closer I got to Wauneta the better the roads were. Whew!! Was I releived. Everyone had decided to stay in town instead of traveling, which was just fine.

We went and ate yummy Mexican food and then opened gifts and just visited and laughed. Then went to the movie together, got our drinks and food, (yes eating is a rule when we are together) strategically planning where we were going to sit. Then laughed, gasped, and were shocked during the movie.

We all had fun, not doing much of anything really, just enjoying each other. And isn't that what friends are all about?!?!

Headline News!!!

Just in... Renee Wheeler does a great job of making Blog Headers for people and if it wasn't for her, I (my header anyway) wouldn't look so great! The rest of me is my own fault and no one else's. lol

Thanks Renee for your creativity and sharing it with us!!

New Year!!

This is what we all hope for with New Year's. Peaceful, calm, things flowing along, but unfortunately what we usually get is this...



Poor Pete was on his way to school the first day back and the time has changed for when school starts and gets out. School now has longer days. So Pete had to run to catch the bus. He started not feeling well on the bus and threw up 3 times before it got to Hamlet. Then he got off to ask our Asst Pastor if they could give him a ride home when he threw up 4 more times! Poor guy! He missed the first 4 days of this semester!

Matt still hasn't been to school. He has mono and they found out his thyroid isn't working right either. He's been having trouble with the medicine and our family doc is thinking of sending us to a specialist.

But it could be worse! I have a good job I love and I'm not sick. Jenn isn't sick and had a safe trip to Denver to her cousin's place. And God is in control. Nothing gets better than that!!
