My lovely Nook...

I just wanted to mention that Paul gave me a Nook for Christmas.. This is the best gift ever. I am such an avid reader ..always reading at least three books at the same time..and now I do not have to carry tons of books with me I just need my Nook. I love love love it!! I just downloaded Alice in Wonderland screensavers which are really cool and also three books that I have been wanting to read. If any one else has a reader I can loan some of my books to them. Let me know. bye now..:)

I am still out there somewhere..

I did not mean to be so long away from the blog. I wanted to post a bunch of pictures but unfortunately I have not been able to locate my camera since Makayla was showing her dance pictures to everyone. Paul and I celebrated our 32nd anniversary yesterday. I can hardly believe we have been married that long it has gone by so fast. We started our date out by doing an early lunch/dinner at Johnny Carinos-love the Italian food. We then went to the movie "Avator"-which was truly an amazing movie to watch though 3 hrs long. We then ended the day by staying the night in the Congo room at the Destination Inn. It was a lovely way to spend our anniversary. Paul is such an awesome husband and friend.
Makayla went to her 1st formal dance last month and her dress was so cute but of course I cannot show everyone since the camera is missing. She has been dating a little now that she is 16. She also got a job working at my office as our runner. It is a great job for a young person. Just enough hours to supply playmoney and gas money. There has been lots of drama with all of the boys who like her..oh well.
I have been busy visiting with Susan and kids. She is now established in her home in Grace Idaho. It is big and roomy for her growing family. they have a great big yard which the kids love to play in. She has already had to find the emergency room but it was not for the kids this time because she stepped on a nail. I think it will be a great place for them to live and it is closer which makes it easier to go and visit.
We have been busy working on some new projects in the house. We took our sauna and converted it into a bathroom. Paul did a wonderful job and it is really nice to have another bathroom when the little punkies come for a visit. It was rather difficult with only one bathroom. We also redid all of the tile on the fireplace in the front room. It really lightens up the room and is more in the style of the rest of our home. I have been reorganizing all of the kid corner and got rid of alot of things. All of the nieces and nephews that have stopped by are not happy with me. How could I take down their favorite little corner in our home?... I think they will get over it because it is really nice to be not so cluttered.
I am planning on going to see the production of "Oliver" with my sisters, Danielle and Amanda in April and then a few days later I get to see one of my favorite singers of all time..Michael Bolton. I can hardly wait for the concert to come. I never in my lifetime would have expected him to come to Idaho Falls and appear at the Civic Auditorium.
Well enough for now. I am really going to try and keep up with the posts a little better.
Everyone have a great week...bye now...:)
