22 days

My 22 day break from blogging was completely unintentional! Our computer was broken for three weeks! Oh, how I missed the internet. And my blog. And my bloggy friends! :0)

We only had a laptop before, and the charger (and everything else on it) kept breaking. So we decided to buy a desktop. More practical for everyday use, I think. It's way nice. We went and got it at the day after Thanksgiving sale. Got a pretty good deal too, so I'm happy about that!

I also got a very nice and expensive Nikon camera and I can't wait to figure it all out and use it! So expect lots of pictures soon!

The kids are doing great. Getting bigger and cuter everyday!

We had a nice Thanksgiving. We spent the day at Dallas' Grandma's. He has an insanely huge family. His grandparents had 8 kids, and each of them had an average of 4 or 5 kids, and the pattern is still going. You couldn't even count. My father in law is only 50 years old and he already has 10 grandkids. Ha! Anyways, despite the large amount of people in a tiny house, it's always nice that everyone makes it there every year! It was the first major holiday for the family since Grandpa passed in February, so that made the day a little harder. But it was good. Great food, of course!

I'm so very excited for Christmas! I had the tree up a few days before Thanksgiving. I just couldn't wait. Decorating is one of my favorite parts of Christmas! I love all the pretty things that come along with the winter holidays. We haven't started our shopping yet though. Probably next week after hubby's next check, since buying the computer wasn't exactly on the cheap side.

Speaking of cheap! Who's with me on this???
YAYYYY for these GAS PRICES!!! Pretty unreal how cheap it is. I can't even remember the last time the prices were this low. It had to be more than 2 years ago because when I filled out Dallas' baby book and it asked the price of a gallon of gas I put $2.35. Right now the cheapest it's been here was $1.71. Crazy. It used to cost us around $90 to fill up our van, and yesterday I filled it up for $41!
I'm loving it!

And I'm loving being back in blogworld! :-]
