Ok, I know it has been forever since I have updated our blog. But nothing real exciting has been going on. It seems that time just gets away from me and before I realize it, the New Year is here.
We had a great Christmas this year. Our Holiday Season started out with my Grandma staying with us for a week then on Christmas Eve she went to my moms house. I love just talking with my grandma, she has always been a great friend in my life. I lived with my grandma my senior year in high school and it was so much fun. So having her at my house brought back lots of memories.
Christmas Eve was spent at my mom's annual Christmas Party where all the extended relatives come eat, visit and just have fun. Then we get to open our PJ's from Santa. As usual Marc had to work so when he got home at just after midnight we decided to wake up the kids (17 & 14 remember) and let them open all their presents. It was a lot of fun but the best thing of all I got to sleep in til 9 am on Christmas Morning.
This Christmas was a lot of fun because it was Kaesen's 1st Christmas. It is so much fun to have a baby around. He was only 3 1/2 months old but it was fun.
New Year's came and went. We spent New Year's at home with Johna and Mike (Johna's Boyfirend). Brandon was at a party at his friends house. I enjoyed watching TV and eating ice cream with everyone.
My days are filled with work, helping Johna apply to college, making sure Brandon's homework is done, I am grateful to still have a job. Being in the Mortgage field is kindda scary. But I must say that I have been really busy since rates dropped.
Johna has been applying to college and for scholarships, I was never so glad to see Feb. 1st come. That is the deadline for applying for scholarships. She is nervous about the whole issue but don't worry, she is a great student and has great ACT scores and most of all any school would be lucky to have her as a student.
She has huge bragging rights at our house right now for 2 Term grades came out and she had a PERFECT 4.00, she has worked so hard for Perfection and finally obtained it. We won't discuss Brandon's grades, that is a whole another story.
Tonight is another huge night for Johna she is receiving her Young Women's Recognition Award. I thought she had a lot of work to complete to the award. But I have to do a spotlight on her using PowerPoint. And boy is that a lot of work and I only had 2 days to get it done. It has been fun going through old pictures and remembering her as a little girl.
Marc & I can't wait for warm weather so we can get out on the bike and ride. That about catches everyone up on our lives.

So I finally find out you have a blog! Bree, The Source of all information told me. I am glad to get caught up a little. Now we need to get caught up a lot! Next week--lunch. I know, my fault, my stupid life but I need to remember what is important and most of all, who. I'll be in touch.
