HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Not too much is new here, I mainly just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas. Yes, I say Happy Christmas. I'm a Harry Potter geek, which should be explaination enough if you've read the books and/or seen the movies. My gift from John won't get here in time for Christmas, but I already know what it is. Here you go:

















Again, have a great Christmas and a wonderful new year.

PS
This new year's eve will be 4 years that John and I have been married for. I've been blessed with such a wonderful eternal companion. I just want to say how grateful I am for the temple and the strength it gives to my marriage that we chose to be sealed in the temple right from day 1.

It's Done. Whew!

Okay, so I didn't pass my test, I messed up parallel parking (for the first time of course), plus I missed a pedestrian. In all honesty though, I was just so happy that it was over. I'd been so nervous before, I ended up having a panic attack and a super sore stomach that lasted a couple of days. I will probably try to take the test again, but not until the snow is gone. Right now I just want to concentrate on being a good wife and mother and just trying to get/keep our house in order.

Our weekend in Magrath was fun, but there certainly wasn't even close to enough time for visiting. 2 of John's sisters we only got to see for a few hours. Now we're just waiting for Christmas holidays. I'm really looking forward to seeing Caleb's face on Christmas morning, should be lots of fun. We're having my dad over for Christmas steak dinner as well, so that should be good.

On a side note, here's a little lesson I learned this morning. Always check in your fridge for milk for the kids before you decide that you can wait until tomorrow to get groceries. Our kids have ZERO milk until groceries tonight, which means Ty is going to be a pill all day long.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

On Friday I'm going to take a test so I can drive one of these without a licensed driver in the passenger seat:

Computer, YAY!

So we got our old computer back, and I have a disk drive that actually works again, HORRAY! I am just so frustrated with computers in general right now. They usually don't work quite right, and I really don't like transferring data from one computer over to the other, even with an external hard drive. Oh well, I'm still happy that we were able to get the old one back and that it's working better than the DELL. John says that we're never buying a DELL ever again, and after all of the problems we've had I'm inclined to agree with him.

My mum was up over the weekend, and that was a lot of fun. We got to do a lot of shopping. I got John's Christmas presents for him, so that was good. Not too much else is new in our world right now, though, I just wanted to share that I finally got my computer back and have a working disk drive again.
