I also had a wonderful Christmas... :) the kids and I were given a pure bred, registered boxer puppy by the zoo keeper in Greenville! I was very shocked to get her!!! She is SO cute!!! We named her Jada. And guess what I got from my honey?!...... a promise ring! I was extremely shocked to get that too!!!! He walked up behind me and reached around me and hugged me with an open ring box held in his hand. I looked down and practically fainted! So between having a wonderful Christmas eve with my kids and friends and family, and a wonderful Christmas day with Jimmy and taking him to meet my moms side of the family for Christmas dinner, I had a good Christmas to say the least! Jimmy also took me to a movie Christmas night and we watched Marley and me. Good movie :) I cried at the end! Ok gotta go take care of Creed and the pup..... later!

God is seriously so good to me. He always takes care of me and provides. Tonight at work, Gerry, Dan, Cal and that group came in and gave me a Christmas card and insisted that I open it, and inside was 5-$100 bills from all 5 guys. I couldn't believe it and started crying right in front of everyone. They said, "we adopted you you know and we love you so we gotta take care of you. We want you and your kids to have a good christmas". And then on top of it they left me a $100 tip. I'm still in shock. I can't believe this happened.

Wow its been almost a week since I wrote on here..... the weekends are so busy for me since thats when I work. Friday I worked 14 hrs straight because it was our 3 year anniversary party at the Dugout. They had free beer and food after 9:00pm. It was alot of fun and I made good money! :) So, I finally got a camera a couple days ago! Now I can start putting pictures on here!!! About time Sam says!! lol :) I just need to sit down and figure out how the thing works! So many options and gadgets on that thing! Hopefully tonight when Sam comes for supper we get get some pictures on here :) I have a really hot one of my honey! Talking about my honey, I got to meet his Mom yesterday! After church Jimmy and I met her and her boyfriend at Old Country Buffet for lunch. They are both really nice and we got along just fine!:)

Well, Jimmy is coming over today and we're going to bake an apple pie from scratch! He used to cook at TGIFridays but he said he doesn't know the first thing about baking so I'm going to teach him! :) (Sam you're next!!!) LOL. And Sam if fresh, homeade apple pie from scratch sounds good to you, you know where you're going tonight!!! :) Add a cup of coffee and you'll be all set!! lol we all know how much Sam loves coffee :) I'm also going to make potato corn chowder for lunch...doesn't that sound good? Perfect thing to do on a snowy day, work in the kitchen and cozy up the house. :) Anyway gotta get back to the kids school here..... Just had to take a quick break!

So, yesterday I got slammed again at the dugout... we served 91 people for lunch which is ALOT when I am the only waitress/bartender! Everyone decided to order bloody marys too on top of it and thats a bloody pain in the rear when you're busy!!! Thankfully Tonia was there to help me! Anyway I made good money so that was nice :) Afterwards Jimmy and I went to Landons birthday party and watched movies and talked with everyone once the little guy went to bed. We had fun and ended up staying until 1:00am. Today Jimmy went to church with me and then we took a road trip out to the country to look at the house he wants to buy. It's so freakn awesome! I love it!!!! :) Then my sweet little honey took me back to the house and made me pancakes... I was starving and ate 3 plus an egg!!!! Yeah and Sam thinks I eat like a bird..... lol!!! Anyhow we just hung out with April and Brittney and watched the packers and then Jimmy had to go to work at 4:00pm. I picked up Creed and it was just starting to snow...so beautiful! Snowmobiling, here I come!!!!!!

So my sister Sarah got to meet Jimmy this morning!! We sat and drank coffee and ate donuts. :) Then I took him to my brothers house and he got to meet them too!!!! Three family members in one day! lol, he did well and they all liked him... of course! Right Sam?! Who wouldn't!!! My honey is just so sweet and likeable! :) So i think I have strep throat.... and since I kissed Jimmy before I realized what it was, now he got sick today too... sorry baby. :( Gosh I hate this time of year....

My Honey:)

My honey...his name is Jimmy and I just love him so much! I have never been this happy!!!! He treats me so wonderful, and I am incredibly lucky to have him in my life.

Ok, ok!!! I'm getting scolded for not keeping up with my writing here!! Sorry! lol...... Told you I sucked at this! :)
I started writing today but then Creed walked by and pushed the button and shut my computer down so I said forget it!
Don't you all just love Sams new hair cut?! Its gorgeous!!!! And her ideas for her living room?... I can't wait until its done! Its going to be awesome! Thank God its you Sam and not me.... I'm sick to death of painting!
I'm reading the book right now called The Shack..... Its really good. I highly recommend it for those of you that love to read.
Oh my word! I just remembered!!!!! Guess what? I got to drive my brothers' semi truck on tuesday! I LOVED it!!!! The double clutch thing is pretty hard though let me tell you.... I'll have to do alot of practicing to get that down pat! lol :) And trying to back up with only looking in your mirrors and going the opposite of what you think you're supposed to is nearly impossible! I had to pull ahead and straighten it out 3 times!! Gosh! Thats a little hard on the pride....
Ok, I exerted my brain cells and finger muscles enough for one night.... Time to go back to my good book :) Night y'all.....

OK!!!!! Lets give this a try..... I don't know what the heck I'm doing here but if I follow Sam's directions carefully, hopefully this will work right?! lol!!!! I am drinking coffee here as I am trying to think what to write... I'm not very good with putting my thoughts
and words on paper but practice makes perfect and maybe I'll become good at it by the time I'm 80!!!!! :)
I just got back from Ashland last night with all 3 kids. We went to surprise my sister Amanda for her birthday on monday. She was so shocked when she saw me, she screamed and turned white like she saw a ghost and then started bawling her eyes out! It was great!!!! The drive home though wasn't so fun....imagine three kids made to sit still for 4 hours straight...not fun!
Anyway, we need to finish school here and Creed is tearing the house up so I better go for now.
Hope this worked!!!
