Well it's been a month since my last post, so I figure I may as well alert anyone to the new stuff going on in my life. There isn't any. j/k
Bella and I went up to my mom's house on the Tues. before Thanksgiving and I helped her set up her new 42" LCD flat panel tv(About time she upgraded...sheesh). The picture didn't really look overwhelmingly different, but that is mainly due to the source of her signal...her 10,000 yr old DirecTV receiver. Once she upgrades to the HD receiver then her picture will look great in all its 720p glory. The next day Tonya and Anissa arrived with their respective clans, thus overloading mom's house to the breaking point. It was good that Bella got to see all her "southern" cousins again before she makes the move up North.
Thanksgiving day was hectic, to say the least. This was the first Thanksgiving in 3 years that I was able to take the time off and actually get to spend the whole day with the family, instead of only a couple of hours. It was really nice to get to see "the cousins" and all their families. Also, Brandy and her kids, Nicail and William, came to the celebration as well. They seemed to survive the onslaught. William spent most of his time outside playing with Shaylie and the kitten that was found. I believe it got named "Ginger" by someone. William really wanted to take it home, but Brandy refuses to get another cat, seeing as they already have two cats (and a REALLY annoying dog, and I can't leave out the two pet mice) at home. Nicail and Anje got along pretty good as far as I could tell. I kept seeing them together and that is usually a good sign.
Brandy had a blast playing PIT with Anissa and myself. She'd never played it before and she really likes it. Brandy had to head home that night since she had to work the next day. But it was really nice to be able to spend time with her and her kids AS WELL as my family.
Oh and for those of you who don't know, Krissy and Bella are moving up to Ogden around the 21st of Dec. Aaron (Krissy's fiance) got a really good job offer up there, so they are making the move. I will miss my Bella a lot, but will make every effort I can to get to see her. :) May involve getting a new car. lol
I'm in the middle of trying to figure out what to buy everyone for Christmas. This is not EVER an enjoyable feat for me. I never seem to be able to pinpoint what people want as gifts. (Mike and Erin any clues would be greatly appreciated).
In related news, the updated "Monopoly List" will be posted soon. So keep your eyes peeled. I believe I got a record (for me) 4 versions of Monopoly last year. Haven't played a single one either. :(
That should just about do it for this post. Hope I didn't put too many readers to sleep with this one.
Much Love,
Chad & Bella
