Let's see, Kevin and I were given a wonderful gift from Ross and Connie and Rod and Julie for Christmas, they flew us to California to spend the weekend with Kevin's aunt and uncle, two cousins, their wives and their 7 children! We had a WONDERFUL time. We stayed at Shaver Lake at a cabin owned by FPU. We got to play in the snow, take lots of walks, talk about all kinds of things and EAT like we have never eaten before. I do not have pictures because Kevin and I didn't bring our camera. I know, I know, when I have a child I cannot be forgetting my camera, I promise I'll be better by then. So, Rod and Julie made us a CD and are sending it and I will post pictures as soon as it gets here.
We got home from California and it was Spring Break. Ahhhh! I got to relax. It was amazing! Kevin had to work (normal jobs don't get spring break), but with me not working at night we were able to hang out. The Swanson's house was finished and escrow closed on March 16, so with paint rollers in hand I set out to help them paint their house before all the furniture was moved in. I didn't help a whole lot, but I was able to help a little. Priscilla did a wonderful job picking the colors for their house, it looks awesome.
I bet you are wondering, Allison, why are you showing us a picture of your treadmill? Well, that is where the Swanson's bed used to be. On Monday, March 19 the McNeely-Swanson communal living era came to an end. It was a little sad. I came home Monday after work, Kevin was working out of town and Aaron came by to get the last of their stuff and then I was totally alone. It was a strange feeling. As I left the front room to go to bed I said outloud, "I'm going to bed...if anyone wants to know."
Um, that's just to let you know that Kevin is still around. I know ya'll like to see pictures and so here he is.
Ok, so we're now almost up to date. Ethan turned three last Friday and as any good aunt and uncle would do we bought him a fish tank! Yes, we are the people who buy gifts that end up making the parents work harder than the child. It's just a small tank, very low maintenance. Today we took him to pick out his fish and he chose two Tiger Barbs. Getting a 3 year old to name fish was very interesting. We finally came up with Dalton and Aiden. Aaron's good friend is Dalton and his son (Ethan's friend) is Aiden, Kevin and I approved of his choice so it's done. Again, no pictures...sorry.
One more thing. I have been supporting the Houston Texans since I moved here in 2001. That was their inaugural year and they made the best #1 pick anyone could have made. David Carr (originally from Bakersfield, Ca and once the star of the Fresno State Bulldogs) has been the QB of the Texans from the beginning. He has put up with a terrible offensive line, no good running backs and a weak defense all to get blamed for their terrible record. Well, here's what I have to say (not that anyone cares, but this is my blog) David Carr will go to another team, he will start as QB, he will succeed and the Texans will continue to lose because they just gave up one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
I hereby renounce my support of the Houston Texans. My new team will be announced later (shortly after David Carr signs with a new team!).
