I'm obviously horrible at this...

...but at least I do it occasionally right? Thats all that counts!

Anyways, the last few weeks have been quite busy for us with getting back into our regular routines after the holiday season is over!

First of all, we had a really great time at Bill and Christy's house for New Years Eve!

My boss was out of town until the 4th of January, and I went back to work on the 5th (it was nice to have Christmas and New Years off, plus vacation!) This past Thursday I worked 15 hours straight! AHHH. I went in at 9am and got off at midnight! It was a crazy day, but well worth the money! Unfortunantely, right now, all of my money is going to my car. Recently my car had been acting up and it was needing me to put water into the radiator, urgh! Luckily, Bryans dad is a mechanic so he looked at it and let me know that I had a leak in my radiator. I bought that and had it replaced yesterday. Well, after he was done with that he informed me that I also have a leak in my overflow tank, which I need to replace as well (however, it is drivable). But then last night after I got gas, my car was sputtering really badly and jerking me all over the place! My mom says she thinks it might be a bad gas cap (if its stripped and not tightening all the way it could be letting air inside the tank, causing it to sputter) so now I have to figure out what that problem is! And on top of all of that, I need to replace my air conditioning line cause that has a leak in it and I am NOT about to go through this summer with no air conditioner! And my car registration is due this month! :] Yay for spending LOTS of money on cars, NOT!

However, on the bright side, it kind of makes me happy that I have to replace some things cause I feel like after all of this all over I will have a pretty reliable car, and most of the stuff I have bought for it has lifetime warranties on it, so that makes me feel even better! :]

Hmm, so what else has been going on... well, school starts on the 25th, I am taking 5 classes, and I am trying to find a way to somehow scrape up about $200 for school books! Although the cost of the books totally sucks, I am so excited for school! I only have 3 more semesters (this Spring, Summer and Fall) and I have my Associates Degree! Yay! Then its time to transfer to a University! :]

And last but not least, I am so excited that Valentines Day is coming up. I have a giftcard to Target so I am going to go there and get some cute Valentines decorations, and Bryan and I are going to plan something free or super cheap to celebrate (probably a picnic or a special dinner made at home, and then we'll exchange gifts!) I absolutely love this time of year! :]

Time for me to go get cleaned up and start cleaning up the house! Bye for now!

I've been pretty horrible about updating my blog, too!

Sorry to hear about all your car trouble. That really stinks! Hopefully whatever is left to do will be cheap and easy.

Did you get my email response? I needed to know colors/theme for the guest book and calendar. Just let me know.

Love,
Auntie Kristen
