"" silence ""

doing: work-kinda- on a monday. lame
feeling: TIRED!
listing to: nothing but beautiful silence!

i'm going to apologize in advance because i'm sure this will be full of misspellings. my eyes are crossing because i have such a headache! i'm trying to work but i needed a break!

Christmas. wow. we were crazy busy for 3 days straight! Ethan had a bit of a mishap at the DeHaan house on Christmas Eve. it involved running with a firetruck and ended in 2 battle wounds, one of wich will hopefully NOT turn into a scar! Ethan opened so many presents i'm sure his head was spinning! he got some great things that he just loves! matt and i were a little more low key. we got a few good things, money, giftcards, ect. all in all it was an excellent holiday!

Birthday. my birthday was yesterday! wooo for 26! i went to church in the morning, alone. my boys wanted to stay at home. then we all met at Pizza Hut(of course) for lunch. i got to see Nate Ethell, he's in Iowa for a week-ish and his family was at the Hut too! it was great to see him! and so random! i love randoms!
then i packed myself up and headed to Des Moines for some well deserved shopping! i went to a couple places that i dont usually go. didn't find much of what i was looking for... but i did find! there were some good sales too so it was a good trip! after i got home i fed Ethan and we took him to my parents casa. he hung out with Papa and Uncle Ben(who was sickly so i dont think they hung out too much!) and we went to celebrate at mexican! we met Bri Guy and his mom, my Mom, Ann, John Schmaltz and-suprisingly- Andrew Larson there! it was so fun! and a random group too! not usually who we all get together with but it was great! i had wwaayy too much tequila! but it was the really really good stuff, so NO HANGOVER!!

we hung out for a couple hours and then everyone collectivly decided that i needed to go to bed! i laughed at matt for a good half hour and then passed out hard!

today i simply have a headache. i actually got up this morning and made a good breakfast! it was yummy! i need to start doing that more!

not much else is going on. New Years looks like its going to be a quiet one. we can't find a sitter so i think we'll just hang out and watch a movie or two, get pizza and call it a night. matt and i have never been huge on the "staying up until midnight" thing... so we pry won't!! hopefully we'll be able to find something to do that won't make us out to be too totally lame! ah well, such is life!

i must go work some more. i want to finish a bunch of orders so my bin will be EMPTY! that will be a wonderful birthday present!!
