The New Year

Well, the new year is here and it brought tiredness and work with it. ¬†I am doing good, just tired from to many late nights on vacation and traveling. ¬†On New Year’s Eve, James, Ruth, Daniel, and I stayed up playing Wii until midnight and then went out onto the porch to watch some of the fireworks across the bay. ¬†We said our Happy New Years… finished our game and went to bed. ¬†Mom and Dad had been up playing games with us but went to bed around 10. ¬†It was a very nice and relaxing vacation. ¬†We didn’t really go places, We did the whole “I am going to the mall, Does anybody else want to come?” We never all went the same place together. ¬†It was much more fun to stay home and enjoy the time together. ¬†We got home on Saturday night and have been going none stop ever since.

I have been back at work for 2 days and I am already getting some extra hours so that is nice. ¬†I am also coaching jr. high girl’s volleyball and the first game of our season is on Thursday. ¬†I am looking forward to it… I am also hoping for a winning season, but I don’t know if I will get that. ¬†Yesterday was James’ 24th birthday. ¬†One of his students brought him a cake and we went out to dinner with my parents, Tim, and Ruth. ¬†TGI Friday’s has good food and after we had stuffed ourselves we got our dessert to go and headed to our house to play some Wii and hang out. ¬†It was a great ending to my vacation.

I am back to being busy. ¬†I have volleyball practice Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri from 3:45-5:00. ¬†The extra time is nice for James since it gives him time to work on stuff at school and church. ¬†I am also able to volunteer in the school office and I really enjoy that.

I hope you all had a great vacation.

July 1st…

So it is the first day of July and I have spent the day at the fireworks stand. ¬†We got the product around 11:00 and were open for business just after 12:00. ¬†Our first sale wasn’t until 2:45 and I don’t think we have sold anything since then. ¬†I will probably be here everyday until the 4th. ¬†I have been sitting outside for the last 2 hours making sure nobody walks off with our generator. ¬†It is nice to sit in the shade and enjoy the breeze. ¬†Although I do think my forehead got burned earlier today.

We have church tonight and then on the 4th we will have a picnic at the church. I am looking forward to hanging out with friends and family. ¬†Ruth will be staying with us on the 3rd to the 4th.

I have a few things going on in July. James and I will be going to visit Rebekah and Matt in Delaware with my parents on the 28th. ¬†We will return on August 4th. On August 6th I leave for Portland, Oregon for James’ cousin’s wedding. ¬†I will be in Oregon until the 11th with the Ashton family and then on the 12th we will all drive back to San Francisco. ¬†On the 13th Ruth, Daniel, and I will drive back down here to So Cal. ¬†Daniel will be visiting us for a few days so I will have some company. ¬†I am looking forward to visiting everyone this summer.

A fun…but busy weekend

Well it is Monday, Memorial Day! ¬†This has been a long but very fun weekend. ¬†James, Ruth, and I left Thursday at 3:30 to head up to San Francisco for the Family Gathering in honor of Grandma Margie. ¬†We got to Mom and Dad’s house around 11:30 pm and headed to bed. ¬†We were all tired from the drive, we had hit traffic in LA.

On Friday morning we were up around 7:00 am and on the road by 9:00 am. ¬†We were heading up to Oroville where the Family Gathering was going to be. ¬†We took our time on the trip and got in just before 1:00 pm. ¬†We then started getting things ready for Saturday. ¬†We went to the store, printed pictures, cleaned the house, organized food, took a walk, and played with Melissa. ¬†We had a great time and were all ready for the next day. ¬†

On Saturday morning family started to arrive at 11:00 am. ¬†We had a great turnout, about 75 people showed up to honor Grandma Margie. ¬†It was great to meet family members that I hadn’t gotten to before. ¬†Being with Melissa and the rest to the family made the whole day perfect. ¬†We left there around 4:00 pm and enjoyed a quiet evening at home. ¬†

Of course on Sunday we had church and the a Memorial Day church picnic. ¬†It was freezing and no one had the proper clothing so we went to Target and found absolutely nothing to help keep us warm. ¬†We headed to the Giant’s Dugout… a store that sells only Giants gear. ¬†We found sweatshirts, beanies, and jackets to keep us warm. ¬†Then we headed to the park. ¬†It was a lot of fun even if it was really cold. ¬†We got home around 4:00 pm and the siblings started to go through old pictures with their parents…Melissa and I both took a nap. ¬†James fixed dinner and dessert. ¬†We enjoyed spending time together as a family.

Today we are going through more pictures and having Bar-B-Qued porkloin for lunch. ¬†We are also going to make ice cream. ¬†James, Ruth, and I plan to leave around 2:00 pm and head back to LA. ¬†I have really enjoyed being with the family.

Melissa has entertained us all… she will sign words or say them. ¬†She now signs and says Auntie and Uncle. ¬†She also says Grandma and Grandpa. ¬†She is a charmer and so cute. ¬†I love her and am really going to miss her. ¬†I am glad that we got a lot of pictures of her. ¬†I also got video footage of her playing with all of her aunties and uncles. ¬†

It has been a great trip. Pictures will be up soon. ¬†I will let you know.
