Can't BELIEVE It!

I was just looking at my Blog and couldn't believe I hadn't posted anything in December. So here goes...a little catch-up.

This month has brought some good things, some not so good things, fun times and catching up with old friends. At the first of the month I got to go to lunch with an old time neighborhood best friend - Amber Mann. It was so fun to catch up on what we have done the past 15 years of our lives. Her family was amazing growing up and I can remember many fun times with them. We were the bestest of friends for the longest time. Her family moved away in our teens and we hadn't really kept in touch...thanks to Facebook we were able to catch up!

We went to our ward Christmas party this year. It was some good times...just ask Steve. I think he loved the company of ward members and the dinner was pretty good, however when it came to the entertainment...the Cyprus High Madrigals and Dance Choir he just couldn't contain himself. It really isn't his thing but he made it through.

I got my hair done by my cute hair lady Jaime...who is about to have a new baby any day! I love going to see her every other month, it just makes you feel good. Well, the next day I wasn't feeling good...had the worst day of my life (so far!) I think anyway. I had a severe gallbladder attack. Well, I didn't know it was my gallbladder at first. I was having severe chest pain, seriously thought I was going to die. I spent all day in the ER with no clear diagnosis except the ER doc had ruled out everything else. The next day I returned to the hospital for a HIDA scan so they could view the function of my gallbladder...surprise, it doesn't work! So I am scheduled to have the thing removed on January 6th. I was ticked they couldn't do it before the end of the year, I mean deductible has been met, I have some time off work...oh well, guess I have to deal with it. Oh, and I have to be careful what I eat...just when I want to eat everything before the BIGGEST LOSER contest. I know, guess it is stupid to do whatever you want and then completely change your whole diet come January 1st. Oh well...guess that is what is happening!

Last week we took my mom to see Glenn Beck's Christmas Sweater show. It was amazing...I'm such a fan of Glenn Beck. He is a wonderful speaker, but his acting ability was pretty impressive. I loved the message of the Christmas Sweater. If you haven't read his book, I highly recommend it...so good! Last week was also Zoey's Christmas Dance Recital. She was so darn cute. Last year she didn't move off her star...this year it was difficult to keep her on it. Oh well, what can you do, she is 3!

I did some last minute shopping yesterday. The crowds were terrible. I tell myself every year that I won't put it off and every year I do. It ended up being a good day and I think I'm done...with 5 days to spare!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. I'm looking forward to a few more Christmas parties this week with friends and family. I will post some Christmas pics, haven't taken any pictures of our other events this month!
