Christmas Eve Blizzard 2009

I wish I had clever titles.

We spent last weekend in Tulsa attending the Christmas Train and hanging out at the in-laws.Rashad, Crysta, Ashley, John, Megan & Stephen

Phyillis, John, Janet, Scott


This event is put on by Tulsa's Church On The Move. They have taken a old west town themed camp area in Dry Gulch USA and made it into a really festive holiday attraction. There are cute shops to look at, a few places to eat, go-karts, bumper cars, and of course the Christmas Train. It's a short 5 minute ride that takes you along a journey of Jesus' life through large painting and real life scenes from his life like the Nativity Scene, Crucifixion , and Resurrection. There was live sheep and everything! It was actually all pretty neat. Dominic would have absolutely LOVED the train...that's why I took a video.

I also sorta got my first unofficial Christmas gift. Janet gave me her old sewing machine! Her mother gave her hers so you could say she had a spare one that she was happy to pass on to me. Now I can do all my sewing at my own house. Only bad part is I can't go crying to my mom when something breaks or doesn't work right, now that I won't be using hers very often.

One more thing....I started work with a Temp. assignment this week. It's with Midland Mortgage which is part of Midfirst Bank. I file. Literally. All day long. I file hundreds of mortgagey papers into their files. At least I am busy and I am getting more money, but I'm on my feet all day. The first day I wore heels because I knew I had to dress nice and I didn't know what I was going to be doing. Bad idea. My legs hurt so bad the whole day and night.

I also had an interview with a temp-to-hire position at Chesapeake Energy today. It went really well and it would be FANTASTIC if I got the job. Say a prayer!!!!

Merry Christmas!

All tied with a bow.

I have one more gift to wrap. Then it's off to the post office and waiting until Christmas morning.

Thanksgiving

I know the video is small but the audio wouldn't load with YouTube because of copyright issues. So anyway....here's the movie on my blog!!!

Last Batch

I just pulled these peppers off the plant last week, and pulled 4 more yesterday. I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving and I'm still getting fresh green peppers. I think it was the last batch though. I have plenty buds still, but it's too cold now. Growing these was so much fun, and I can't wait until next year to do it again!

Do you see what I see?

Do you see that? Look, right above this post title. Yes, in little letters. It is almost 6 months until we leave for South Africa. Nothing is planned. But at least we will get there and have a place to stay...for the second half of our trip. crap. I have a lot to do.


I wouldn't mind seeing an elephant..but I hope this doesn't happen.

promises promises

I will go run tomorrow. I will. No matter what....I will go run tomorrow.
