Christmas 2012

Haven't been on a while sorry about that. So Christmas was all well. James was suppose to surprise me with a camera but that didn't happen. We were filming a Batman skit for Glazelife. In the middle of filming his mom called and he put her on speaker phone will the first thing that she says is "Her camera is here." So it got James all upset and it scared me so I was upset and I was supposed to earn it with my own money. But it's all okay now. He made me wait though till Christmas to get it. And his parents got me the a bag and Michael got me a memory card. James got me a book to know everything about my camera, a Falcon's shirt, an Aeropostale gift card, 3 Hello Kitty fashion glasses, a Hello Kitty necklace, a crockpot and a sander. I got James Cortana, Red Spartan, Blue Spartan action figures, Braves hat, 2 shorts, sweatpants, bottle opener, WOW Monopoly, Power Bars, Slim Jim, body spray, and other candy. But it was a really good Christmas. My parents got me the iPhone 5. And of course I got spoiled from the people at work. Momma D got me 2 Hello Kitty sweaters, Hello Kitty pajamas, lotion, body wash, and a Rue 21 gift card. Munroe and Sowell both got me a Hello Kitty Chia pet. Jen got me a Hello Kitty shirt and a $10 iTunes gift card. And Bree got me a Hello Kitty mug, candy and Hello Kitty soap.
Christmas morning we cooked breakfast for Michael and our parents. That was an experience cooking all that food. But it went well, the food was good. I think everybody enjoyed it as well. We got James' mom a dutch oven, his dad Justin flip flops. We gave my parents a candle and money. His parents got my dad Jack Daniels and my mom a sauce warmer thing. My parents got his parents an American Express gift card and Michael an Amazon gift card. My parents gift to James didn't come in time. So he has a few more presents to open. Jaim and Nicole didn't get to make it but we will see them another time to exchange gifts.
For New Years we plan to go to South Carolina to see Aaron and all them. I'm so excited. Although James is off Christmas Eve so we have to leave a soon as I get home. But it's a good thing it doesn't take long to get there. But hopefully we aren't that busy at work.
Any who!! So I came with  2 A's in the fall semester. Yay! Starting the Spring semester in January. I'm excited. I taking a microbiology course, public speaking online and a firearms injury course. I'm interest to see how this online public speaking course goes. The firearms injury course is what I am interested about the most because we get to go to the range and we learn everything about assembling and firing a gun.
Well I hope everyone had an awesome holiday. I hope everyone has an awesome New Year.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Thursday was Thanksgiving Day. We went up to TJ and Nicole's with my parents to have lunch/dinner there. I made bacon ranch mashed potatoes and a salad. I attempted to make a dessert and failed. :( But it's ok Nicole made a dessert and it was really good. Mom made pancit and dad made prime rib. TJ and Nicole made squash casserole, green bean casserole, macaroni, and a dessert. It was all really good. And just hanging out with them was really fun. TJ and Nicole had to watch Sasha (Nicole's mom's dog), and she's a sheep dog. She's a big dog and really fun. I just don't think I could have a dog that big. She can do really cool tricks though like if you make your hand like a gun and say "bang" she will lie down like you shot her. The rest of the weekend was pretty lazy. We didn't do any Black Friday shopping this year. This year we just didn't really have anything to buy and we are on this whole budgeting thing but it's all good we can deals other ways and other times. Saturday we didn't do anything at all just hung out at the house. Then today we went to Heritage Park and had a little picnic and walked the trail. We took Cobey with us and he really enjoyed it. He enjoyed being out and playing in the grass. Although he wanted to pee on everything but that is not a surprise.

Back to work tomorrow. I'm not ready for it. I'm so tired and I don't know why. Also back to school. I'm definitely not ready for that. I've got to check and make sure nothing crazy is going on this week. This week I've got to prepare for Lt. Munroe's retirement parties. So that will be a sad time but also a fun time too. I'm going to miss him so much but it's for the best and he will enjoy it. For those who don't know, we okay no body knows. Lt. Munroe was my lieutenant supervisor at my work. For the time I've been there he has been like a father. But this retirement isn't a good bye. I will still try and visit him and talk to him. He is a really great person.

Ok so the craziest thing just happened. I can't stop laughing I went to take Cobey out and I started to hear this jingling noise well I had already had Cobey attached to his leash and once I heard the jingling getting closer I started to panic because we've had a few dogs come through our yard and some being big. Well I started to back up to our door almost tripped backing up and I was screaming James' name. Well I set Cobey down and the jingling is right at the steps here comes this little yorkie. And I trying to grab the little guy and still screaming James' name finally he comes out and we call the number on his tag. The owners came and got him but he lives across the street in this neighborhood. OMG the little fellow crossed the very frequently busy road I don't know how he didn't get hit because he was a darker yorkie and it's night time. Thank God he didn't. And I'm glad that he had owners. Because I wouldn't know what I would have done but of course make James let me keep it. But I can't stop laughing at myself because I thought it was going to be this big dog and he comes this little yorkie. GOSH...I need a fence.

Good night all I've got a few things I need to do around the house.
