Last night I had so much fun, as I was telling you in an earlier post my favorite author was coming to BroadRipple for a book signing. Well that was last night, when me and Renee finally found the place, we went in and got our books and they had a tent set up out behind the book store. So we proceded to the tent and to our suprise they were serving wine. So we sat and sipped on some wine and and talked and laughed while we waited for Jill to appear.


Me and Renee before she showed up:

This is what the so called heated tent was, in my opinion it was freezing in there, needless to say we drank plenty of wine to keep us warm:

This is her entering we sat there for an hour before she showed up. She was fashionably late. Behind her is her husband which she refers to fondly in all her books as "The Cutest Boy in the World" awww how sweet:

Reading an excert from her new book:

2008

Well it's the beginning of a new year, and I feel like my family is off to a very good start. We love our new house, and work is going good. The girls are doing great. There isn't really anything new going on right now. Aerial has quit her job at Rally's, she absolutely hated it. She is trying to get a job at K-mart. I really think she would do much better at a job in retail than fast food. I'm not to concerned about it, she doesn't have any bills yet so that's a good thing. I'm also in no hurry for her to get a car either. She is a very irresponsible 17 year old so no rush there. Alot of responsibility comes with a car and I'm not sure she's ready for that. Other than that I don't have anything new to post so I'll get back to it when I do.

christmas....

Christmas was great this year. We spent the day with Dave's family and had an awesome time. My girls had a great christmas this year. They got new bedroom suits and lots of money and clothes. I'm really happy for them. I did pretty good myself, thanks to Dave's mom she goes over and above for christmas every year. Let me share some pictures:

awwwwww........

Poor kitty is going stir crazy, you see she is an indoor/outdoor cat and she has not been out to hunt for a whole week. She's really starting to get creative:

What you've been waiting for........

This is the living room, it's so cozy.

And of course the Christmas tree.

This is the bathroom, right outside of the bathroom is the laudry area.

Kitchen and the hallway.

another of the kitchen, I love the cabinets, off the kitchen on the other side is a really cool deck, can't wait til the spring to start using it. It is a bay area with sliding glass doors.

Aerial's bedroom.

Another view of Aerial's bedroom.

Ryanne's bedroom on top and the bottom pic is her cheerleading shelf with all her cheerleading accomplishments, she did a awesome job on her room. It's really cute.

And this is the master suite "Where the magic happens." teehee Don't you just love the ceiling and the pictures do not do it justice it is huge.

I love this picture, It's hubby Dave, his dad, his brother and his grandpa.

We did it.........

Anyone that knows me, knows that I absolutely hate my house. So we finally did it, we moved, just up and left it. I love the new house and I'm kicking myself right now that I didn't take pictures. I looked at Allison's blog and her pretty tree and it reminded me I need to take some pictures to post on here, so that's what I'm going to do tonight. Watch for them tomorrow.
