HELLLOOOOOOO 2010!!!

Happy New Year Everyone.....a day late, but none the less, Happy New Year!!

Let's get caught up, shall we? I finished this quarter with 2 "A's" and 1 "B", with a spot on the deans list. Not too shabby, huh?? One more week and the grind begins all over again. This time a marketing class, composition two and a graphics's class. Little excited to start the graphics's class, using Adobe Illustrator. I will have the same instructor as I had last quarter, so I have good idea of what this instructor will want and need so it should make it a little easier on me in completing the assignments.

Christmas was wonderful. I got a lot of nice things. However, I didn't get my Wii. Maybe for my wedding anniversary in February. OK a girl can dream a little, can't she? :0)

My husband and I went to the movies. We usually go a couple times a year. We did make a resolution of a date night once a month. Hopefully we will follow through with that! Anyhow, we saw "Blind Side" http://www.theblindsidemovie.com/ and thought it was a great movie. I use the cry factor as my movie "great" gage and I cried 2x's. We also saw "It's Complicated" http://itscomplicatedmovie.com/ we really enjoyed that movie too. The whole movie theatre was laughing out loud. I just love Steve Martin and have for years! We are hoping to see "Avatar" http://www.avatarmovie.com/ we are just waiting for line to go down.

New Years Eve was celebrated at my sister's house. As always it is a blast!! Being with my entire family sure makes a great start to the new year. We play games, eat dinner together and just hang out with each other. We also do a "Pollyanna" gift exchange and it gets funnier and funnier as the years go on. I love cleaning my closest cause you never know what you may find for the gift exchange. To my family reading this, you are in for a BIG surprise next year. Larry cleaned out his work gifts from MichCon! That's all I am going to say!

We were also blessed to have my Aunt Margaret there. If you remember last year at this time she was sick and we found out she had cancer. After a year if chemo and surgery, she is considered "cure". She will have to see her doctors every month for a while, but at this point, she is doing much much better. Thanks you for all your kind words and prayers. It meant a lot to me and my family.

I have been working on the St. Vincent dePaul fundraiser scrapbook weekend. It is set for the weekend of April 23, 2010. Here is the registration form....its last years, as the new one hasn't been posted/updated on the website yet, but it still can be used. The cost is still the same as last year. We would love to have you come and scrap with us!!! http://www.svdpdet.org/assets/CampScrapALot2009Flyer.pdf

Well I must be off. My husbands car didn't want to co-operate today, so I need to get ready to go and pick him up from work. In Michigan, it's a bit chilly here (-10 with the windchill) so too cold to walk.......have a wonderful day, until next time!!

OHHHH one more thing!! Happy Birthday to my friend Karen Y. Here's to many many more!
