Hopefully everybody had a merry Christmas. I know we did.
The days before Christmas Phil was stressing over what to get me. I'm not sure why he finds it so hard to buy for me. I always find things for me and hardly ever forget to mention to him that I'd like them (I'm such a kid this way). We were chatting about it and out of the blue decided we'd go shopping for me together. We made a day of it and lots of fun. I tried not to linger too long in the stores. I could tell he was doing his best to stay in a good mood while other busy Christmas shoppers were bustling around. When we got home he asked that I please not make him wrap all the gifts. Not a problem. That's one part I don't enjoy much either.
Christmas morning he opened his gifts and I finally allowed myself to enjoy mine. We watched some of the bull riding DVDs I got him. One was a copy of the 99 PBR finals. This was the year we went with Sean and Krystal. The 2nd round was one of the best nights of bull riding we've seen. Phil has since talked about it and wished he had it on video. I did a little asking around and got in touch with Becky Mataska that sent me the VHS, then a friend of Jessicca's, Dallas, burned it on a DVD for us. Phil was thrilled when he opened it.
We had dinner at Jessicca and Aaron's. Sean, Beth and Brenda joined us. It was a great time with tons of good food. Jessicca even said it was the top 5 dinners she has ever had.
Phil and I have a tradition to go out to a movie every Christmas night. We've lost count of how many years we've been doing this but my best guess would be 11...maybe 12. We went to Seven Pounds with Will Smith this year. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars. Its OK, it makes you think...but gets boring in the middle and the twists and turns are too obvious to be called twists and turns.
This weekend Mary and Jake are coming up and I'm eager to give them their gifts. I'm also going to take them over to Jared's so we can give them their gifts. The best part of Christmas for me is spending time with my family and watching them open the gifts I got them. I always try to get that perfect thing for them, some years I fail...but I think I get it right more times then not.

Nothing to say....
Do you know when you run into someone you haven't seen in a while and they ask what's new? I really try to think of something besides "just working"....but I hardly ever can. My life is pretty boring. I did tell a fried once "just working and making babies"....the minute it came out I knew it was wrong. He immediately went to teasing me.."hope you're talking about the cows and bull if not it's a little more info then I needed to know about you and Phil..." I could see myself blush I was so embarrassed.
But in realty I work, I feed, I go out to dinner with friends, I sleep, I watch TV, Sundays when its nice out we buck bulls. It makes a pretty boring blog...and I don't take pictures...Guess I'm trying to explain why I haven't made any posts lately.
I did have a birthday and am 32. I can't believe it..It feels like yesterday when I was trying to decide which college to go to. I remember my friend Heidi and I drove to Sterling and Ft. Morgan to look at schools. I didn't know how to drive under 90 and scared her a little taking some curves...how I lived to be 32 is beyond me.
The Saturday before my bday my brother Sean and his girlfriend, Beth took us out to sushi and Sean M and Krystal came along. Sushi is one of my addictions. It took me a long time to give it a try, but when I did I was hooked. Finally got Phil to eat it and he likes it, not an addict like me but he likes it.
On my birthday my dad was going to take us to dinner, but had some delays and couldn't make it. We ended up going with my brother Jason and his family for BBQ.It was great to catch up and see my niece, Tru and nephew Zen (yes, some unique names. Jason and Megan are a bit of the hippy variety).
Tonight, my friend Jessicca and Aaron are taking me out for Mexican for a late birthday celebration.
Kind of funny how everything turns into dinner...probably need to slow it down...gotta be able to stay in these jeans..i'm too cheap to buy new ones.
And hopefully my dad can make it this Monday to celebrate yet again another birthday dinner....
Well that's about it. I'm working on having Mary and Jake spend the next weekend with me so maybe I'll have something fun to report after that.
