First things, first…… Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friends and family!

I feel so bad for not being able to send out Christmas cards this year. I have never missed a year, but I just did not have enough time in the days to put together the ones I wanted. So this in a way can be a Christmas card. Heck I didn’t even decorate my house! The only reason why the Santa is out is because he got left behind last year, so he was in the hall closet staring at me everytime I went to get the vacuum out. Sean also decided to make me decorate the tree tonight. UGH! So nothing this Christmas is normal.

This holiday season has really been hard both mentally and physically. With Mom gone it’s just hard. I had the yard sale last weekend, and although it went great, it sucked! I hate giving away her stuff or even selling her stuff because it just doesn’t feel right, plus the sale was on her birthday. A HUGE THANK YOU to all that came and helped out. Now to start painting and renting the house out.

I can’t wait to start 2009! Sean is now working for a great law firm in LA and really likes it there. Finally a job that he doesn’t get stressed about! Plus he takes the metrolink and doesn’t have to drive, plus the firm pays for his train ticket. Jake is still in Preschool full time and loving every minute of it. Me, not so much. I swear he comes home with a different sick bug every week. Of course it had to be the tummy bug the week of Christmas.

We hope to go camping alot in our trailer this spring and summer. It’s nice to just get away for the weekend. I’m hoping to go to Yosemite since I’ve never been. Talk about paradise! Some people like beaches, or resorts but I love the great outdoors with the hiking, animals, sites to to see and of course great sunrises and sunsets.

Sean, Jake and I wish you all the Happiest, Healthiest, and Best New Year ever!!! 2009 Here we come! It’s gotta be better than last year, right??
