So....

It's been awhile. Happy 2013!

A lot has happened since my last entry. I won't divulge here on the specifics. Just know that I continue to work on myself and my relationships with those closest to me. I'm a long stronger than I was a couple months ago. I regret that way I've handled things in the past, BUT they happened for a reasons, even if you don't believe in that sort of thing.

The past couple weeks have been a blur. A happy blur, but very busy. First off, I've been sick with the typical nasty cold/flu season stuff. It comes and goes in it's severity, today it's pretty terrible. Actually, my husband is also home sick with it. We're pretty miserable. Lucky Duke is here to take care of us :)

Christmas was fun, but not really relaxing. The 21st was spent celebrating my friend, Gilda's, birthday. We went to Hong Kong buffet and putt putt golfing. I'd never been to Hong Kong before, it was alright. I tried to stay on the healthier side, but I LOVE crab rangoons. We went with some co-workers, Jeff and Maggie, and another friend of Gildas, Gloria. Putt-putt was fun, I haven't played in awhile. We kept score for awhile, but just enjoyed being ridiculous after Hole 5 or 6. It was awesome! AND we didn't have to get plastered to have fun.

The 22nd hubby and I went for family Christmas in McPherson on his uncles dairy farm. We did the whole White Elephant thing, ended up with a panini toaster. I was pretty miserable and sick the entire time, and tried to keep my snot to myself. The 23rd-24th my mother, Gilda and I went to spend time in Hill City with my grandparents. I love it there. I started a fire in their fireplace, and we played Mexican Train dominos and 'You name it' card game for hours. We came back early on the 24th, and went right back to McPherson to spend the night with hubbys parents. We opened presents and enjoyed my father in laws amazing grill skills. On Christmas we went right from McPherson to my dads house in the country for some lunch. My dad hooked us up with some Zombie killing equipment (knives and such). It does make me feel a bit safer :) We then came home and enjoyed Christmas night with my mom and Duke.

I didn't take any time off work this past holiday season, which probably didn't help my cold. So right back to work I went the day after Christmas. New Years came and went quickly. Hubby and I enjoyed dinner at Martinellis on New Years Eve with my dad, step-mom, step-sister and her family. We then went and bought a Wii, and bailed on going to a country bar. We spent the night battling each other in Mario Cart (MY FAV GAME) and Wii sports. We spent most of New Years day playing Wii tennis, bowling and Mario Cart. Time well spent :)

I don't do new years resolutions. Too much pressure :) HA. BUT I continue to build my relationship with God and my husband.

Hope everyone had a great holiday season, bring on 2013!
