After Xmas

Well, its after Xmas. Finally.

Holidays were not too bad, got to spend extra time with my grandma. Sarah's aunts and cousins came into town and we were able to spend some good time with them, so that was nice. Eli had fun, he liked most of the toys he got from everyone. He didnt play with the paper as much as we expected though.

Last week I became an uncle. Our niece Evelyn was born 12/22/08 after a nice long ordeal.

Happy new year to everyone!

Christmas time

Christmas time is offically here. Only 9 more days til christmas.

Unfortuately along with this time of year comes snow and cold. And the inevitable spending time with family, though I admit not all of that is bad, just being locked inside with most of my family for the evening of Christmas Eve. Its only once a year and I still put up with it for my grandmas sake.

Well, to everyone I am not sure if I will hav a chance to post again before I travel to grandmas for the holiday, so in case I dont, everyone in the immortal words of Krusty the Clown have "a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, a Kwaazy Kwanzaa, and a dignified Ramadan. "

Breathing room

Well, my busy time at work is finally over and I have time to post again!

Things have been alright overall. Thanksgiving went on without any problems. The biggest thing that happened at all was I got a Nintendo Wii. Its great! Im just getting used to playing a couple of the games and I am already addicted.

I hope everyone had a good holiday week and good luck surviving December and the Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/New Years time coming up!

Busy

Well, its been a while since Ive been able to post. Work is really busy this time of year so it cuts down on my time to surf the net and post here. Couple more weeks of this then we should slow down.

Overall not too much has happened. I was in a car accident over the weekend. At the time it seemed relatively minor, but the other driver did over $5K in damage to my car and the estimate is still rising as they take apart my car more. Good thing it was her fault and her insurance gets to pay for everything including my rental car!

YAY!

Well, the election is over, mostly. Unless you live in GA, MN or AK. What a mess in those states, trust me, I live in MN.

Great thing America did on Tuesday electing Barack Obama. I think he will put us on track. As far off track as Bush has gotten us, it will take some time to get back, but I think he will lead us there. Congratulations to Barack Obama and his family and Joe Biden and his family. Congratulations to America as well for not succumbing to fear over this election.

What a mess the GOP has become. They need to figure out who they are and they need to do it within the next year before midterm elections. It could be worse for them if they cant figure it out.

I was sorry to hear about Obamas grandma, I am close to my grandma as well and cannot imagine what he was thinking on the biggest night of his life.

Election day

Its finally Election Day. One way or another it will be a historic election. Either we elect the first black president or the first female vice president.

So, regardless of who you vote for you should still vote, but if you are voting McCain, feel free to forget or just assume that he will lose and stay home anyways.

GOBAMA!

Happy Halloween!

Its Halloween today. Ive never really been into the holiday myself, but alot of others are, so Happy Halloween.
