A Little Update

Since Thanksgiving, alot has happened! Some good and fun, and some bad and sad! So on December 4th, my work announced that they were immediatly doing a layoff, everyone was soo nervous and scared that they were to be let go! When it came my turn to meet with the "Big Man" I was soo nervous.. but it was good news.. I got to keep my job. All in all, they let about 20 people go (there are really only about 80 people in my office so 20 was alot). I lost alot of friends and was very sad to have to see them pack up their desks, and leave. Then the next day which was Friday, I got a headache, and I've had one about every day since then! No Fun! Headaches are the worst!

This last weekend, we had the kids gingerbread decorating party at our house! Rich and I got to decorate a house too! We had fun! So here is Rich bein silly, and our Gingerbread house!

Now on to more sad news... Rich wont be home for Christmas! He signed up to do an academy that lasts for 2 weekends, the first weekend is this coming weekend, and the 2nd weekend is the next, after Christmas. The academy is held at the College of the Siskoyous (Which is far from our home) so he'll be staying there for the week in between. I'm sad, but at the same time I'm excited that he gets to do this, and will be getting a certification that he needs to get the job he wants! I'll be flying to Oakland on Dec 31 to meet up with him! We will be spending the next 5 days (31st through the 4th) in San Francisco for New Years! I'm super excited!! It'll be a great time! I'll post pictures as soon as we get back!

It has been so cold here! I know that it doesnt snow in Southern Cali, but we sure do get cold rain! Im so glad that I dont have to drive in the snow anymore! I like the rain.. but dont like being cold! I love to be snuggly in my warm bed.. not sitting at my desk next to the cold window! Here is a picture of Rich and I when we went fishing a few weekends ago.. we were freezing.. and we didnt catch anything! Darn it!!
