We had ourselves a Very Merry Christmas

So, Christmas has come and gone. I can't believe its already over. Christmas Eve we went and saw Mimi. It's our usual Christmas tradition. After that we went to our usual Christmas Eve lunch! This one was a lot less crazy than last year. Last year we went to Cheesecake Factory and Kemp fell and busted his chin. He cried and cried and cried. Natalie was sick and not feeling well. Right when we got Kemp to stop crying, I busted into tears. I started ACHING all OVER and my throat was killing me! I didn't even get to eat anything because my throat was hurting me so bad. Jon ate his food as fast as we could then he took me home. I spent my Christmas Eve in bed! I had STREP. YUCK! I dont really remember my Christmas Eve or Christmas last year because it was spent in bed! :(
But, anyways! We went and ate at Sweet Bones Alabama at the Summit and it was great! Thank goodness for the Iphone because I pulled up Shrek Christmas and the kids watched that!! :) The
Iphone comes in handy for a LOT of things!!!
Of course, it wouldn't have been Christmas Eve if DAD didn't ask me to wrap GranJans gifts! He laughed and laughed when he showed me what he got her. Aqua Globes and a Chopper. Yes, they were her gag gifts! Actually, I want her Aqua globes, but she won't share with me! :( Haha!
We went to Lakeview UMC for Christmas Eve and it was great. Steve was talking about something that really hit home for me and Jon. I won't go into details, because I don't know how all is reading this, but I am hoping for a change in 2009. While, it won't happen over night, I pray that it will happen over time. :)
On Christmas morning we got up and went to Natalies house for just a bit. Then we headed down to Thorsby to see Jons dad. We opened gifts, played Auburnopoly (gag), and ate lunch. We spent most of the day there, then came back to my parents house and had Christmas with them! I got LOTS of goodies! I must of been on the NICE list for sure! Santa over did HERself this year! Thanks, Santa! :)
Of course, Mom and I had to go shopping and get our gift wrap for next year! I am one of those freaks who likes to have MATCHING wrapping paper for everyone! I got some REALLY pretty paper at Target! I can't wait to wrap them in it next year!
After church today Jon had to head back to Auburn. We were really nervous about our house because there have been a lot of break ins around us! Luckily, he called me and said everything was fine! He is only going to be gone until wednesday, then hes coming back here! (He has to work on Monday and Tuesday!) We haven't spent New Years away from each other in 5 years and I wasn't willing to start now!! :)
No new news on the job front. Still looking around. I still think my best option is the Auburn Temp agency! I just gotta go there and talk to them! :) Pray pray pray that I will find something! I NEED something soon!
Well, thats all the news on the Cullens!
I hope everyone had a VERY Merry Christmas!
I can't believe 2009 is almost here! I can't wait to see what happends for Jon and I in 2009. 2008 was such a great year for us, I don't know if can be topped! :)
Blessings and Love..
