lets see if I can get you caught up here…

 xmas eve – inlaws (and dh’s aunt and uncle) at our house. Pretty non eventful. After we ate and the kids opened their gifts, we cleaned up a touch then Nanette (dh’s aunt) and I went thru Gmil’s yarn, needle/hook, and pattern boxes I have here. I guess last time gmil was by them in California she taught the step grandkids there to crochet. So Nanette was grabbing a bunch of hooks and yarn and a few simple patterns to give to the kids. Then we went thru pictures so that she could put the story board together for the funeral.

xmas eve turned out quite well.

xmas day- kids were up early (of course) and we opened gifts. you should have seem Lexi she is a pro at gifts now. 3 days later now she is still asking to open more gifts. 2 yrs old can be so funny.

for the most part the kids got what they wanted. R was missing 2 things, but dh and I looked everywhere… even online and none were to be found of either. oh well he has a birthday in January no biggy (thank god he is at an age to understand that so he wont get mad about not having it)

Then we went over my my gma (my moms mom). almost everyone was home except one cousin and his wife. and his brother surprised me when he walked in the door… I guess he is home from Iraq.

oh ya and Kim has to stay home making sure their furry baby was not going to dye (rare allergic reaction to a rabies vaccine) I have not heard if the cat has passed yet, but K cant have kids so her cats ARE her kids so we all feel for her.

lets see then the 26th…. FUNERAL day….

we got there at 9 and no one was there not even the priest, so we let the kids be kids until people started pouring in. That was one of the things gmil always loved, just watching and listening to the kids having fun, so no one stopped them because we all knew how much her only biological great grandkids meant to her. but then people came pouring in so it was time for dh and I to standd in the reception line.

My parents were there 1. because my mother became the nurse extroidinarre and helped gmil out alot and 2…. to watch the kids

So hugs and kisses later we had the ceremony. it was beautiful. It really bothered me being closed casket because I so wanted to see her one last time… BUT I know gmil all to well and… well lets just say she could not leave the house if she was not dressed to the nines and her hair and makeup was not done perfectly. *giggle* no not prissy just a bit ocd about that.

I was doing so good during the service until communion. totally lost it inbetween the bread and the wine. but I was able to take deep breaths thru it til I got back to the peu to say the communion prayer… which totally helped… even thu I am not catholic and gmil was… but know what… 6 of one half dozen of another.

then we went to the cemetary thank god they kept it very short… IT WAS COLD!

then we went to the restaurant…. and just as we sat down a wonderful thing happend…

I took off my coat and grabbed my cell phone to turn it back on… no lie the  dag gone thing rang within 30 seconds of turning it on….

It was the Waters Spa , I had submitted my resume  last week (www.kohler.com ). I check there occassionally and apply for all the marketing internships… yes they had more listed…. BUT I am still in school (and some had higher credits needed than I have) AND I have kept my license (for hair) up to date and have 13 years experience. so I submitted that one instead. They wanted to set up an interview… however I did not have my large purse with me, so I explained I was at the funeral but I am very interested and that I needed to call back. ok no prob. So yesterday I set it up for Jan 2. I am probably jinxing myself for writing about it… but ehhh oh well.

I would love that job.

oh and we found out from gmil’s sister in law that her son once owned our house. we lol so hard. they owned it right before the people before us did. so now the family joke is to keep it in the family when we want to move.

lets see then what..

oh when mil and fil stopped over yesterday to say goodbye, they breifed us on all that needs to be done before gmil’s car becomes ours. mil needed some paper from the lawyer (since her power of attorney is not fully offically approved [bad timing with holidays and no one in office]) so we dont have to worry about that anymore. We always drove gmil’s car when we needed it anyway and she told us it was ours before she even got sick.

then today we got more snow . lol I am so sick of snow, then of course mil calls to tell us they got home ok (just 30 minute delay on their flight)

we were in the middle of taking the xmas stuff down so we missed the call, but when dh called back she said she could not talk long because it was 81 there and they were going golfing. What the life huh?

and we are freezing

oh then r and I tried his new pottery wheel… umm ya I will stick to knitting, crochet and spinning. I am NO GOOD at pottery making lol lol

I admire anyone who does it. WoW!

did I miss anything?

ummmmm oh bunnies are still doing good they are getting so big. still have not shed fully so I dont have much of their wool to spin, but I have been saving it and carding it with some merino.

ok I think I am done now. lol

its 12:36am… I really should try to sleep. dh is snoring on the chair I should wake his butt up too.

ok night night
