More Social Life

I had a great opportunity to sit down and really catch up with my beautiful Bj

I loved that I was able to do that missing her so much when I am away.

Kate and I were able to meet for lunch and talk for hours (LOVE IT!)

then we were off to walmart to do the daily errands before heading over to gridley to pick up the boys and eat pizza with the Ringgers and the Stollers

I got to see these two guys that bring so much fun to my life.

I was also excited to meet Josh's wife and Chris' fiance but neither came:(

Josh had a legit excuse for Julie since she was at home with friends

and he was kicked out of the house for the night. Chris.... had no

excuse and I think was just to ashamed of me to let me meet Kelsey. HA!

After supper we sat and talked for hours, poor Roger couldn't' stay

awake so they got on the floor to take a picture with him:)

Great friends I am hoping to see down here in FEB!!!!
Tuesday was Kristen's birthday so I spent the day painting the nursery
at their house, then we all went out as a fam to celebrate Adam and Kristen's birthdays
(one last time together as a fam before I flew out)
Wednesday morning after an hour of phone tag I was able to meet
Ellie for breakfast and catch up with her

Katie and I had been together a few times but had never gotten a picture

so when we dropped off Ionda on the way to Indy Wed. afternoon we finally

got our picture together. She is SUCH a fun girl!

Praise Jesus for Great Friends and Opportunities to See Them!

Christmas

This was a surprise for me to see at our table for Christmas.

My aunt Sharon from WI heard of its greatness and bought it to try!

Yay! A Social Life!

Hubers, Plattners, and Blake are great company

BUT...

Its nice to see and visit other friends in person too:)

open house for people to come visit Ionda while he

is around central IL

lunch, catch up, and a hair cut with Wendy & Ella
Always good times and lots of laughs with Lisa and Sarah!

Coffee and catch up with Kristy while we are both around central IL

There were more friends and visits in there but I didn't have my

camera with me. I have LOVED every social event so far:)

WooHoo for a social life! If only for a few weeks:)

So Far...

I have LOVED being able to join in on the normal everyday life of my family

Getting to hang out with Jax and then taking grandma out for her birthday
Getting to sit in the stands like a proud fan as my brother coaches basketball

In this picture Jax and I both look like we are ready for bed

but we had fun together at the basketball game:)

Let the fun continue!

Tis the season

With only a week left I started making Christmas cookies as those whom usually receive plates of them had started asking me about them to make sure I hadn't forgotten that they needed to be made before I leave for the states.

So the dough was made and cut out
Cookies were baked and frosted

or just baked and a sweetie was added

I am now thankful to say that I have all my Christmas plates

ready and sitting in the fridge to hopefully hand out as soon

as the rain stops.

Blessings

I thought this was cute

If you have ever visited this wonderful country (real Jamaica not resort Jamaica) as you

drive around you commonly see animals whose owners tie them up alongside the road

during the day to eat then come collect them later and take them home. As I opened the library

for play time after school one of the boys came to me asking for the

donkey and I told him to go look in the toy box. Later as I noticed this (pictured above)

Jessimar had found his donkey and tied him up while he went to play (the donkey sat like this for about 2 hours) then after play time came back to collect him and take him home

(put him back in the toy box). To Funny!
