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.
