Hi everyone! I had some time so I thought I would post a little something. I hope everyone had a good Christmas this year and that everyone has their New Year resolutions in order! I turn 24 tomorrow…how scary is that?!?! I just can’t believe it! I have been watching some old clips on Youtube from children singers I used to listen to back in the days and it really brought back some good memories. I used to sit on our brown carpet next to the record player and listen to Raffi and Red Grammer over and over an over! (Yes we had a record player!) I think Mom still has my old records. Here are the clips in case you want to listen to them..:) The Raffi one has like 8 videos that go with it but here is just one of them. If you have children/grandchildren and they don’t know Raffi….they are seriously missing out!

Anyway, as most of you know I turn 24 tomorrow. It will be only my 2nd birthday way from my Mom if you can belive that and the very first birthday my dad won’t call or send a card which is very hard for me to comprehend. All I wish to do is hear his voice tomorrow and perhaps I will in my heart but not over the phone or get that little whiskery kiss. I know this whole month and the last couple have been very hard on myself and my family but I truly think tomorrow will be worse then Christmas was for me. Although, with my new computer from my wonderful husband, I was able to share gift opening with my family in video on Christmas day. But as was Thanksgiving, Christmas was just has hard for me to overcome. I just had to keep thinking to myself it was not a day for me but a day made for us through the birth of our Lord, Jesus.
Christmas Eve we went to our candlelight service at church with Jon’s cousin and his wife, and Ryan came along with us. It was a very nice service. I had let the boys open their gifts before we left…Jon was SO excited for his cowboy boots and even wore them to church! I stayed busy that day making breakfast and dinner for a couple of the guys again. They seemed to enjoy it.They all had fun opening gifts and playing video games all day long. I can’t wait for the playstation to be out of our house! Only a couple more days.

Jon will have another 96 over this next weekend so he should get off tomorrow around 12 but you never know. I don’t think we have anything too special planned for my birthday but maybe we’ll go to dinner or something. I’m not too worried. We did however adopt some adorable kittens this last weekend to add to our Richer family. Their names are Belle and Maggie and they are absolutely adorable. Maggie is on the left and Belle on the right. They were somewhat my birthday gift but Jon knew I needed some kitten love! Unfortunately, Maggie has a little cold so I took her to the vet and hopefully everything will clear up. She is very mellow and sleepy unlike our other kitty who really loves to play! But the vet said she should get better in a couple days. I told Jon that God chose us to have these kittens because he knows that we will take care of them and love on them no matter their condition.

Well, I think that’s all that is going on with us for now. I’ll try to post more often. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a safe and happy New Year! Miss you.
With love…
