Welcome to 2008

Wow, another year is here! I am a little behind in my blogging but I'm back and ready to go.

Let me back track to Christmas Eve...First, about a week before Christmas my family was thrown for a loop when some news was shared with the family and trust was broken. So, I did a lot of crying that week and asked God for some wisdom and direction and He came through for me and the situation is being worked out and I hope that the trust can be rebuilt. So fast forward to Christmas Eve. My Mom, and sister, and I with Matthew, Ashlee, and Lauren went to my Sister-in-law's, mother's house to have dinner.(Marvin was home with Lyndsey, who was sick)It was a great time with alot of good food. Our church was having its first "baptist mass" at midnight, so we started to head home so we could go to the service. It was cold and icy as we were walking to the truck and I told Matthew to walk with "Memaw" so she wouldn't fall. So, everyone was in the truck, and I was getting in the truck and I had one foot in and my other foot slipped out from under me and I fell backwards, I couldn't grab on to anything so I fell right down on my back and my head hit the pavement and I knocked my self completely OUT!!! Everybody freaked out and came running to me. My brother said I was out for at least 5 minutes, so they called an ambulance and I woke up strapped down to a backboard with all these firemen around me and I was taken to the hospital. Did I mention that I was in Sterling Heights and was taken to some hospital in the boonies? My mom rode in the ambulance and my brother took the kids home and gave Marvin his GPS so he could get to me. It was CRAZY!!! I didn't have any of the kids presents wrapped so my sister did it all for me. So, I ended up with a concussion, and I slept alot the next few days.

It's always something with me. I have ridden in an ambulance so many times I should drive one! So, New Years Eve was uneventful except for the HUGE snowflakes. We went to Malinda's for some DDR, and Guitar Hero competitions. It was alot of fun.

So, I am not making any resolution's this year. It's a waste of time. I am on the weight watcher plan again and I am once again working hard to get in shape. My 20 year high school reunion is at the end of Feb. and I refuse to go looking the way I do now!

During the kids' Christmas break, my dad took all of us to the FRIDGE. It's in Oakland County and it's a outdoor, frozen toboggan run. The kids had a blast, so here are a few pictures of the fun.
