Updates

Been awhile since I have posted anything. Not a whole lot of new stuff is going on. I am in Florida right now for work but get to go home tomorrow. Was a short trip. I am down 46 lbs. now and Tasha is at 38. She is only 2 lbs. away from her goal. I have 9 lbs. left to go. Tasha and I were pretty sick this last week.....actually Tasha is still not recovered.

Emma is doing great. She is definitely going through some behavior issues, generally with just Tasha and I. Can be very frustrating sometimes but Tasha and I have a good system and we can tell when the other is getting very frustrated so we can step in before we blow a blood vessel. Just hope Emma starts to behave a little better soon. I know it is just a phase but good gosh. We are taking Emma to see Disney Live this Friday, hope she enjoys it. Will have all her favorites.

Tasha and I will be going to Vegas in a little over a week for a few days. We are going with some friends. I will hope to get some good poker in. It will be Tasha's first time in Vegas (as an adult anyway).

Darts start this next week. Can't wait. Love playing and have a great group of teammates. We should be favorites to win our division, we just need to execute. My darts are getting a lot better which is nice.

Tasha is incredibly busy at work and has found herself staying late more lately. She seems to be enjoying her job less...I hope it gets better for her. She used to love her job a ton. Fortunately she has some great co-workers to keep her going. I guess we should feel lucky that we actually have jobs.

I think that is all I have for right now.

Emma at Christmas





Our New Car




Christmas Wrap-Up


Lovely title!!

We had a great Christmas, considering the weather. We probably go about 15 inches of snow at our house and couldn't use our car for 4 days because we couldn't get up our hill. The snow is almost all gone now, thankfully.

Emma as usual was spoiled and got everything she asked for from Santa. She asked for a Tinkerbell Doll, Trains for her Thomas Train Set, and an orange hoodie with pockets and a zipper. Let me tell you that orange hoodies are hard to find during this time of year. But we did finally find one. The Tinkerbell doll was hard to find as well, finally had to get one on eBay.

We have two new additions to our family thanks to Christmas. Yesterday we went to local cat shelter and got a new cat (was Tasha's present to Emma and I). We picked a big, chilled out male named Eddie. He has quickly adjusted to our house and in the 15 hours he has been in our house seems like he has been here all along. Our other cat, Miss Miss, has been surprisingly accepting. The family gift this year was a new car. One of our cars was in need of a number repairs so it made sense to get a car now. We got a 2009 Mazda 3 Grand Touring. It is VERY sweet, fully loaded, and A BLAST to drive. It has a lot of punch and handles incredibly well. Can't wait to get it into the mountains. I will have to take some pictures to post.
