Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a fun & safe New Year's Eve. We spent it at home with John's mom and step-dad. A nice quiet evening at home munching on pizza, bacon wrapped little smokies, Ro-tel cheese dip and various other junk food. I look forward to the boys being a little older and letting them stay up to ring in the New Year...but that time has not yet arrived. :) I did get to enjoy some big 4th of July style fireworks from our back window. I'm not sure who had the display but they were great!

This afternoon John's sisters, Evan, little Jake, and Joanie's boyfriend Steve came for lunch. Nothing fancy, just sandwiches, hashbrown casserole and leftovers from last night. It was good too see them all again. And as I am typing this, it is just John, Zach & I here. Drew went his grandparents to see "The Tale of Despereaux"...and actually Zach is taking a nap...and John is downstairs watching football. Which means - Quiet House!! WOOHOO!!! I plan on heading off to try and do some reading...something I haven't done in a LONG time. :)

Which means, I am going to push off an update yet again! I think I will try and take my laptop with me to the old house on Saturday when I run there to do laundry (still don't have my new washer/dryer in yet). I don't have internet, but I can work on typing up an entry to copy/paste over after I get back home.

For now...I will just say HAPPY 2009!!!
