OMSI Trip

Last weekend Tyler and Haley were able to come up for a visit. We took the opportunity to meet up with Matt, Carrie and Owen at OMSI. Fun was had by all!



The highlight of the day was the fire alarm going off in OMSI, having to evacuate and two firetrucks came. It turned out to be something on fire in a garbage can. Needless to say, we stayed long enough to see the firetrucks and firemen and then headed to Red Robin for lunch.



Haley also had fun that weekend doing my hair...What do you think?

Christmas 2008

I had said I would post pictures from Xmas a while back. Finally, here you go.

Bubba and Maggie could hardly wait for Santa to come.



Fireman Dale was very surprised to find out that Owen was really Santa!



Fun was had by all when Pete and Karla treated us all to lazer tag and arcade fun!!





Owen is trying to take off with his Haley...



Stay tuned for New Years and OMSI trip pics...

Holy Moley!

I can't believe that it is snowing again. We woke up on Friday with about an inch of wet snow and now it is snowing again. It is supposed to start raining later tonight, but this is just weird. I am starting to feel like we are living in a completely different place. I love the snow, so I am not going to complain. I just don't want 14 inches again.

Happy New Year

This has become a bitter-sweet holiday for me. I love that we are going from one year to another (even though this holiday seems to come faster every year), but it comes with a memory I would really like to forget. I feel like this is a good sounding board for me so here it goes.

It is 1:19 AM on Jan. 1, 2009 and I am in tears. Even though I just spent an awesome evening with Steve, Julie, Nick, Tyler and Haley, I can't help to think about the loss that we suffered a few years ago. As we cheers'd in the new year with cider and champagne I started to cry. I miss Daryl. And I hate that he had to leave us the way he did. It makes me mad that we will never be able to talk to him again or see him again. I hate that he will never meet his beautiful grandchildren.

Yes, I have had a couple cocktails and I am feeling extra emotional, but they always say your true feelings show when you have been drinking.

I love you Daryl and I hope to see you again someday!!!!
