I haven't updated this in quite awhile! I've been dealing with a lot and also working a lot. I didn't know working 40 hours a week could be so draining. I feel like I never have time to get anything done at home! When I get home from work I'm so tired and on my days off I head to Moses Lake. I really love my job, though. December was a great month for me at work, I sold a lot! Anyways, this year Christmas was also great.
On Christmas Eve, Heather and I headed up to Moses Lake. Our Dad was supposed to come but had to work overtime because the roads were bad. He wasn't able to make it up at all. First, we had to stop by my moms house to grab something. Heather's car SUCKS in the snow and we got stuck in the driveway!!! So we had to shovel ourselves out and eventually made it out... lol. Then we headed out to the Farm for the Hirz Christmas. We were a little late. Everyone had eaten and everyone was playing games when we got there. We quickly joined in and had so much fun!!! Uncle Scott was entertaining as usual. Every year we play a game where one person is blindfolded and goes and sits on someones lap. The persons lap their sitting on has to say "Ho Ho Ho" and the blindfolded person has to guess who it is. It sounds boring but we all get a kick out of it EVERYTIME!!! It's so hilarious.
Presents there were great. The cousins always exchange with one other cousin. I had Makenna and I got her a curling iron, iTunes gift card and nail polish. She had me and gave me socks and a Victoria's Secret gift card! Then Mimi and Bampa gave all of us grandchildren McDonalds card, Movie Money and 10 bucks. Nice! And then of course Mimi goes all out on family gifts! It was a very good night, like every year.
That night me, Heather, Brent and Carolyn all headed to my moms house. We hung out for awhile and just went to bed. Christmas morning was great! We started breakfast and got ready. Everyone started arriving... Brian, Garett, Uncle Mike and Grandpa. Breakfast was taking too long and all of us kids were getting anxious to open our gifts. Brent and Carolyn gave me and Heather Vic's lotion... and my mom gave me and Heather robes, sleep shirts, socks. Brian gave us all Macy's gift cards, Mike gave us Visa cards and generous Grandpa gave us all lots of cash!!! Very nice. Christmas morning was great and we had lots of good food to eat. I was so happy Garett could come... he is always the life of the party and so funny! The last time I saw him was back in June in Utah... when we all had to cram into Brent's small car and drive from Provo to Salt Lake about a million times!
Anyways, after everything was done, me, Brent, and Carolyn left with Garett. We took Brent and Carolyn to her parents house and me and Garett got stuck in the snow again! It wasn't too bad though, and then he dropped me off at my boyfriends.
After awhile Heather picked me up and all of us 4 kids headed to Tri-Cities to spend Christmas with Dad. Then Christmas got even better... Dad gave me and Heather lotion, makeup brushes, and tons of gift cards!!! I got afew more though because Brent and Carolyn and Heather all got brand new TV's for Christmas..... LAME... lol jk. Heather gave me Marc Jacobs perfume and a nightgown. For Heather I got her perfume, a gift card and a scarf. We together bought our Dad a tool box which he seemed excited about. Carolyn had hinted to me that she wanted a purple purse, and she knows I'm the Handbag QUEEN sooo I HAD to get her a purple purse! She loved it. And Brent I got him a gift card to Best Buy since everywhere was out of Mario Kart. Oh well.
Oh yes! And also for Christmas I got my windows tinted... my car looks so good now! lol
It was so nice to see everyone again... I feel like I never have enough time for anyone anymore with working up here in Richland and being occupied with my social life!! LOL. Anyways... I hope everyone has a great 2009. I guess my resoulution is just to save some money...
I have some pictures from this year. Goodnight!
