Nothing much to say...

...but I felt like writing something anyways...

Nothing much has gone on in the last couple of months...

I am pretty much completely healed from having surgery...Let me tell you the couple of weeks after that was not fun at all...I cried for really no reason at times...I think it might have been the fact that I was in a lot of pain and I was taking some pretty strong pain killers and they were making me all emotional...Another sucky thing about having surgery, is that now I only have 3 vacation days left until MAY! I had to take a lot of vacation days to cover the days that I took off due to the surgery. This year hasn't been so good to us...First that car crash and the car being totalled and not having full coverage on it and then the surgery...Oh well, I'm looking to a WONDERFUL 2010!!!

We finally did take that trip down to see Scott's friend Kris...We went down the weekend of Halloween. On our way down there we got caught in a traffic jam due to some getting into a car accident on the highway, so we were pretty much stopped. While we were stopped we heard this HORRIBLE noise coming from the van. We found an exit and pulled over in Grand Rapids. Scott looked under the hood and thought it was the A/C compressor...We found a Tuffy's and pulled in there, and it was indeed the A/C compressor. We had to get it fixed...It was either $1200 to replace it or $156 to bypass it, so of course we did the bypass...Who can really afford $1200 right now? So about 45 minutes later, we were back on the road...We got to Lansing around 7pm. We headed out to dinner with Kris and Nikki. The next day we got up early and headed to the zoo after the zoo we headed to MSU campus and took some pictures. We then headed to iHop for some breakfast. We hung out for a little bit and then went and seen Paranormal Activity. Which wasn't a horrible movie, but I did laugh more than I got scared! After that we headed out to have dinner, at a really good italian place. We ended the night with a haunted hayride! I have never done one of these before. It wasn't scary at all. Random people jumping out at you, but before they jumped out at you, you could kinda see them in the woods so you knew it was coming. It was a wonderful (very late Katie's birthday) trip...

Scott is still the househusband...There isn't crap out there, he keeps looking and no one is really hiring...He will be getting unemployment again...SOON...So that is a good thing.
I'm still at the same job and I am still loving it! They have their annual administrative holiday party coming up! I have been to 2 of them and they are sooo much fun! We get to get away for a night and have a good dinner and a good time.
My dad just found out last week that they are closing Embassador steel and he will not have a job in about a week...After he is done there I will officialy be the only one that has a job! My sister, mom, dad, and Scott will all be unemployed! The job market it not getting any better, no matter what anyone says, it's either the same or it's getting worse. It pretty much sucks...

And of course, what would a couple months be without a little bit of family drama!!?? It wouldn't really be my life, now would it...Of course I'm not going to get into it. But it's getting better...

The Holiday season is approaching and for some reason I am more excited about it than I have ever been...I'm not sure why I am?? I have been ready to decorate for Christmas since November 1st when I took down my Halloween decorations! :) I'm trying to wait until after Thanksgiving, but I don't think that, that is going to happen. I will probably decorate this weekend.

So when I'm bored at home, I read random people's blogs...I don't know these people, but I do enjoy reading their blogs...I'm not a stalker!!! I found on some persons blog that you can get you whole entire blog made into a BOOK! So I thought...I am SOOO doing that...So that is mainly why I'm writing on here right now...So I can have more to print into this book...I will have the book made up after this year...My blog has more than one year in it, but I want to make another book for next year...That is if I write on here enough...And of course, before I have it made up and printed, Scott is going to go through the whole blog and fix the spelling and puncuation errors :)

So plan on hearing from me next month also...Next blog with be all about the holidays and what we did...

~Until next time
