Happy New Year!

(I was unable to post pictures, but I will get check back later to see if I can add them)

Welcome to 2007 everyone!

Kevin and I have been very busy during this holiday week. I was able to have 10 days off! That is unheard of!!! I enjoyed every minute of it. Kevin was out of town until December 22nd, but then he got Christmas Day and the 26th off. We just hung out all weekend. It was nice to be able to have conversations with each other lasting longer than 5 minutes. Kevin got some sort of stomach bug on Christmas night, so that was no fun. Especially since may parents and our nephew Scott were arriving on the 26th. He took the 27th off because he had no energy and was unable to eat much, but was feeling much better by the next day.

My parents and Scott got here on the evening of the 26th. My parents stayed one night and then headed down to San Antonio. When our nieces and nephews turn 13 they get a trip to Texas, so this was Scott's trip. It wouldn't have been quite as fun if Grandma and Grandpa would have been here the whole time. So then it was time to play. Most of the time Scott played video games. You see, at Aunt Allison and Uncle Kevin's house there are no rules. Video games for five hours? SURE! Cookie dough for lunch? SURE! Candy for breakfast? SURE! I think he had fun. We ended up cramming a bunch of stuff into a few days. We went to Dave and Busters (and restaurant with TONS of video games), Six Flags, to see A Night At The Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Nor Museum, The Sixth Floor Museum, Bass Pro Shop and Kevin took Scott fishing. It was quite a trip. It was very fun, maybe a little too short, but still VERY fun!!!

everyone left on the 30th. That morning Kevin and I went to look at a truck we had found online, and ended up buying it! We had been looking for a bigger truck for Kevin and we were very fortunate to find this one, we got a GREAT deal on it! So, then it was back home to drop off the truck. We were on our way to Houston for the evening, and we were going to stop off in College Station where the Rockwall girls basketball team was playing the in the championship game. It took a little longer to buy the truck so we were just going to head down to Houston. Our friends in Bryan (right next to College Station) knew were had planned on stopping there so they wanted to go out eat to, well they told us about the fancy restaurant they were going to take us to so we decided to head down there anyway. They took us to a place called Christopher's very fancy and the food was awesome. Because our anniversary was the next day we were given a special treat with our dessert. Thanks Aaron and Kay Ellen for treating us to a wonderful time!

Then it was down to Houston for the Texans game. This was our anniversary gift to each other. I must say, not too many men could say that their wife would actually ENJOY going to a football game on their anniversary. We had a great time, especially since the Texans won!!!

Then it was back to Garland to celebrate the New Year. The Swansons were here and so were some friends the Humphreys. We just ate and played some games! That was the end of our whirlwind week. We got to see family, do fun activities, hang out with friends, celebrate our anniversary, watch sports and relax. We couldn't think of a better way to end one year and begin another!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
