the best christmas in years!

This christmas was the best one i had in years.. It begain with waking up to very few presnts unter the tree.. actaully none ( that were wrapped).. its so easy durring christmas time to get caught up in the I want, I need i have to have mind set.. i had that a little bit this year.. but it was honestly the frist year I did not get anything on my list and was not dissappointed! maybe that is because my list consisted of a 2008 honda element which i knew would not fit under our tree let along down the chimmney! But there were other reasons why this christmas was the best! and it had nothing to do with materal things. it was the best because I got to spend this holiday with three of my most favorite people in the world, who were all given a second chance at life this past year! My father survied a major surgery that lasted 8 hours long, and when it was done the doctors told us they removed infection the size of a football, and if he did not have it done he would have passed away in two months! Lynnie became Cancer free this year, and surived over 10 opperations in the last 2 years, and i am sure should would want to me note that he new boobs and coming along quite nicely!!!! and my grandma guse is still with us.. and actaully got a new doctor.. A BETTER ONE!!! my dads dr!!! and she will be having surgery in the near feature! I thank God for letting us all be together this year! and for his healing hand.. that he touched each one of them and made them better.. and gave them another christmas to celebrate him!

I am also thankful for my "tool" the one that if you car goes into a lake/river/pond you can slice the seat bealt and hammer the window and be free!! I am excited about that! :)

what a day

It all started saturday night when i took a trip to our local target to get some art supplies.. as we were talking out the door a young girl comes running out yelling to my friend Karen.."mrs davie, mrs davie" you husband asked us to email you when we get some wii's in and we have 97 of them coming out tomorrow morning! we are handing out tickets around 7:30.. as i heard this i was thinking of my aunt and uncle sitting in the cold for hours already at kmart to get 2 of 6 wii's they were stocking the shelves with! I thought to myself.. I really want a wii.. it would be cool to have a wii..
at home Karen and i started crafting.. and every once in a while I would look up at her and say 97 wiis.. that is alot of wiis.. that night i did not sleep well! thinking that i could be one of 97!

In the morning a fried came over to watch some game on tv.. when he got there he woke me up and said.. "im here".. I said.. "target has 97 wiis".. and went back to sleep.. or tried to at least.. after tossing and turning for what seemed like a long time i woke up and got dressed, when my friend asked me what i was doing I said.. "will you take me to target ( remind you we were having a big snow/ice storm) he agreed and at half time made the adventure to target.. There I stood in line waiting for a numbered ticket. When i got mine I was number 24! I got a WII.. i could not believe it.. it was such a great morning.. I made friends in the line.. who were all jealous that i was buying the Wii for myself.. and was going home to hook it up! and they were all getting it for their kids for christmas..

When my friend came back, there were still tickets and he also got a wii! :) it was so exciting.. and very tiring! here are some pictures from the day!

It's been ONE YEAR!!!

So this is it.. ONE YEAR since my last haircut! I did it!! this is big for me.. because i get to a point and cut it!!! I think while i am home for christmas I will get a trim.. and maybe a little style.. and then.. ANOTHER YEAR OF NO CUTTING!!!!! YAY!!!!
