I was told and forced to type the above sentence......I promise....BUT....we are very excited to have the honorable Katie Aven in our home for about 4 days over New Year's!!
We have been so very busy for the last 3 months(as I said in the previous post). We spent Thanksgiving in Memphis with the Smith/Aven clan - which is always a fun treat! The weekend after that we had the Christmas party for my work. It was really nice. We had lunch at a country club. Very different for an office party and compared to our party last year - but it was nice to have it early in the day. Then, the weekend after that we had another Christmas party with a group from church. This last weekend we were in Memphis to celebrate Christmas with the Gemeinhardt clan(photos will, of course, follow). It is always soooo good to be with my brothers, sisters(although we were lacking one this time), and baby nephews(singular for now). We always have such a good time together! Well, at least I have a good time with all of them. I came back yesterday....alone..... just in time for yet another Christmas party. I left Brandon in Memphis to have more time to visit with family, friends, and his dentist. I have to work this week, then I will leave again on Friday to spend Christmas in Memphis. Cooper and I are surviving and spending some good quality time together(although he will probably be sick of his kennel after spending hours in it during the day). It has been a fun, yet tiring, last few months. We are meeting alot of great people at church that really desire to have relationships with us! I still love my job! Everything is great!
Some things we are looking forward to in 2007:
1- Losing weight, looking great, and being healthy :o)
2- Our cruise to the Grand Turks from Jan 22-27
3 - The possibility of buying a house in the summer! More room for more people to come visit!
4 - Our nephews both turning 1!!!!
5 - Taking my certification test for work in the around March or April.
6 - Brandon being 2 semester closer to graduation! :o)
7 - Most likely a trip to St. Joseph, MO to visit 2 of our very best friends that are moving there at the beginning of January.
8 - Hopefully at trip to Tampa, FL to visit 2 of our other very best friends!
Now I am rambling about things that are getting me really excited!!
Anyway, just so all of you know, we didn't get around to sending out Christmas cards, so consider this update an update on our lives. ALERT: awful family photo below!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Hey! I just found the piece of paper in my wallet that had your web address on it. Cute page. I'm so glad to find out you didn't send out Christmas cards.....I kept waiting and waiting to get mine.
