Christmas

So I'm sluffing church today, shhh don't tell anyone!! My life is so crazy!! I use to think I was busy but now I'm really busy!! I have a sore throat and I think it's because I'm doing too much!!! I told Max today that I was not going to church and he had to take the kids. He gave me some serious grieve but I told him that if I went to church today I would have a break down next week and I wasn't joking!!

Last night was a ward Christmas party and Max & I were in the play that was put on by a wonderful lady in the ward who is a drama teacher at a local high school. She brought out the best in all of us! Only max and Brother Woodbury had any experience, the rest of us had NONE! We were all sooooooo nervous!! Well it went off without a hitch and everyone was laughing and just loved it! I almost got cut and lost a part because I couldn't remember my lines, but I didn't give up and I was a STAR**** last night!!! AOUHHHHHH! Max was very proud of me! I don't think I could have done it without him though! He was giving me pointers right up until I ran back out onto the stage! I'm glad it's done but in the end I really had a fun time!

Christmas is two weeks away and we have nothing, notta thing!! The tree is put up and that's about it. We really haven't been in the Christmas spirit! I think it's because we have been practicing the play every Saturday for the last 6 weeks, too busy with other stuff and just not into it this year. I think we need to do something for someone else because that is what the true spirit of Christmas is all about. I'm gonna have to think of something.

Last year I could get enough of the Christmas lights, the music and the feeling. This year I'm having a hard time listening to Christmas music. I don't know what is wrong with me?!!!

School is going well! Still plugging away!! I will be done with my associates degree in accounting on May 30th!! I think I will start a count down or something! Right after that I'm going on a very needed vacation and I'm very excited about it!!

Well this year has been a bumpy one and I'm glad it's almost over. This next year I hope will bring our family much joy and happiness!! We have a lot of things planned! My company that I work for is doing better and things look like they are going up! And Max is up for a promotion at work! He still has to interview, but please keep him in your thoughts!! He really wants this!!!

Have a great Merry Christmas!!
