Still Waiting
I haven't gotten any wedding pictures from the Wonder Twin yet. He didn't have a cd to burn them to last night so when I went to get them today the mailbox was empty :-(
Why is it that right after I move or change my name I get free address labels in the mail? I had some arrive from the March of Dimes the day after the ceremony. UGH. It's hard to get something for nothing these days!

More Changes
As of 1 o'clock February the 8th, I became a Mrs! Kurt and I got married in our civil ceremony (in our living room). Rikki, Amy, and Brian were in attendance along with the magistrate and the dog. It was short and sweet. We are still having our Wedding in June in front of friends and family. This earlier ceremony came about so I can continue to be insured after my job ends.
The five of us went and celebrated at Biaggis. Kurt and I spent the night in the Roman Suite at www.super8ofurbana.com. It was VERY nice ( i was shocked)(plus we got a great deal since it was in the middle of the week).
Hopefully I will have pictures soon. It was a wonderful day. So far it's been a very successful marriage :)
OH and we sold the other house too!

The Home Stretch
Tonite and Sunday are the last two nights that I will have to work until midnite. Starting on Monday, my program at work will start closing at 10pm. Thank goodness! Kurt and I need the sleep. Our schedules do not jive at all with me not getting home until 12:45 or 1 am.
Work has begun to have state services coming in to help us "dislocated workers". I have a feeling as we get closer to the closing date the staffing around here is going to be pretty pathetic.
I was a bad girl and skipped both my classes this week. I was just too exhausted to go.
Tomorrow is our pretrial hearing for the custody case. It's also the day that the mediation and trial dates will be set. Pray for an open date soon. Unfortunately it will probably be sometime this summer. Let's hope "good things come to those who wait" is true.

It's a struggle
Every weekend it's a struggle to get the kids to do their homework, brush their hair and teeth, take a shower and put on clean clothes. It's ridiculous.
Today we are going to go to Dubuque to watch the Bald Eagles. Christy loves eagles and the weather looks to be decent. Also, we are Fred-less so it's much better for a long car ride. 5 in the car is oh so much better than 6!
I've been up since 5:30 and am thoroughly irritated about it. I need a nap already. I made bacon and eggs on the huge electric griddle we got for Christmas. It worked out awesome + it's fully immersible for clean up!

Merry Christmas
We want to wish each and everyone of you a Very Merry Christmas. We hope you were able to spend the day with your loved ones. We also hope, that unlike us, you didn't eat yourselves silly.
Kurt and I are both beyond full. He is at home and I am at work. I had to work 6 pm to Midnite tonight. The boredom is the worst part of it. I've been here two hours and i believe there have been 3 calls in that time. Woooo Hooooo. I've already done all my work, cleaned out my desk, and organized my overhead. I should have brought a book to read or something.
We had a very enjoyable holiday. The kids were pretty happy with their gifts.....at least Nick and Christy were. Fred and Alex seemed disappointed....even though they got what they requested (the reasonable, non-ipod items anyway). We had our Christmas duck on Marcile's china along with her red goblets and Santa nut cups.
The six of us went to my parents for the traditional Christmas Eve with oyster stew. Kurt found a pearl in his oyster. My parents, my grandpa, my sister, my brother-in-law and my sweet little nephew were all there. I spent a lot of time holding and changing the baby. I noticed Kurt never held him. We talked about it today and he said he was afraid if he did he would want another. (Need to get that kid in his arms!)
We had to have the kids back to the PP by 10 so it was an early night. It gets harder and harder to leave them there. Hopefully we won't have to soon. It was back to my parents today for Christmas breakfast and lunch. It was very mellow involving much sleeping and looking at the baby. Not too exciting.
Tomorrow we're heading up to Rochester to get together with Kurt's family. It should be fun. We haven't been to his brother's house before.

Christmas Robbers?
Last night was Christy's Christmas program. She told us last weekend that she was an elf and that other kids were Santa, cops, robbers, and a mayor. It was a hoot! The kindergarten thru 4th graders sang during the first part. Then the 5th graders put on a short play while the 4th and 5th graders acted as a chorus. The premise was that the robbers stole the key to Christmas. Christy looked scared to death. I'm sure the bright red spots on her elf cheeks made her look all the paler. She had 3 or 4 times that she spoke multiple lines. We are so amazed and proud. Being on stage in front of hundreds of people...Astounding progress for our backward, unsocialized former "home school" kid. She had a pointy green hat and pointy green shoes. Her elf smock had jingle bells on the ends. I had forgotten my camera. I still don't have the hang of this mom thing.
I got my birthday $ from my aunt so I bought the Garth Brooks cd set. It's not what i thought it would be but it's still pretty good. She also sent $ to get the dog groomed. Thank goodness. He's a little stink pot!
Fred is here today. He's gonna apply for jobs. Do I hear an "amen?"

In the Mood
...to bake cookies that is! I've got the lights lit, the Christmas carols going and the butter softening as the snow comes down outside. I wrapped a couple of presents this morning while I watched the View. I love days off!
Kurt is in New Jersey. I hate it when he is gone. Magoo is moping around too. Kurt said it's supposed to snow out there tomorrow. He comes home Saturday morning. I hope he doesn't get delayed.
I think a nap may be necessary while my dough chills.

Wrap up and Review
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a pretty decent day. It was my day off (what could be better than that!). I got some money from my Grandpa so Kurt and I went to pizza hut for lunch and then uptown for some pie. I came home, had a nap, and did some homework. I've had more exciting birthdays, but this one was pretty relaxing and relatively stress free. The best present EVER would be if our damn house would sell!!
I found the crock pot, the serving and mixing bowls, and the missing corning ware. They were in the bottom of the cupboard at the other house. I SWEAR I've looked there a dozen times. Kurt was convinced we'd been robbed. I couldn't see, how out of all that CRAP and 100's of boxes in the garage, a robber would have been able to single out the things i use on a daily basis.
Kurt has a huge project due tomorrow night. He didn't get home til 2 am last night (I only beat him by 15 min). Driving home in the dark and blowing snow was a special bonus. Yet another thing I for which I can thank APAC. He'll be even later tomorrow night.
Last week I took everyone to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It was good! Christy thought it was a little scary, Alex was disappointed things had been left out and minimized, but everyone was glad to go. Plus it was free popcorn night!
The house is starting to shape up. The end of the tunnel is getting near for school. I may make it to the end of the year!
