Steve is ruining my life!

We just spent 20 minutes out in the cold waiting for Steve to mosey on outta here.
Right when he went to the other side of the fence we decided to make a run for it and once he heard us, he popped back over to our side!
Fail!
There was a couple on their balcony and she asked if it was a raccoon and when we told her
it was a possum she said, "Awww I love those! I'll go get him!"
But her boyfriend said, "No! You're gonna get rabies! Thats a big ol' sucker"
So now there are four of us watching Steve watch us.
A minute later a couple caring piles of laundry passes us up not able to see whats
waiting for them up ahead, so instead of letting them scare him off I say,
"WATCH OUT FOR THE POSSUM ON YOUR LEFT!"
Stupid Jenna.
The girl screams and says that shes never seen one up close and the guy gets
closer to him, like in his face close.
Then we all scurry by him to get to safety..
well they walked, I scurried, forcing Tim to scurry
and the guy looks behind him and says, "Are you guys running!?"
Damn right we're running! Did you see that nasty thing!

It was all made worth it when the guy says, "Those things are nice, like the one in Pooh Bear and shit"

Thanks Steve, for another entertaining night!

Merry Christmas!!!


I know, I know...I forgot the 24th day of Christmas!

And today I did a horrible job of capturing the day, but I did get a few pictures!






All in all a great day with the family!

I soooo miss my hunny though! I'm so thankful this is our last Christmas apart
and completely excited to be able to spend a Christmas with the Lopez family
next year as husband and wife!

On The Twenty-Third Day of Christmas...



Welllllll....
I tried to make a video post with my new iTouch but
I don't have the editing skills on that quite yet. Tim has his computer in Porterville so this post will have to do :)

I tried to make Christmas cookies for my family but they didnt really work out.

I rolled the dough all out and used cute cookie cutters and
when it was time to transfer them
to the baking sheet they fell apart!

So....
My family gets Christmas Bricks!





And I had to share Gibson's picture with Santa.
He is not amused.


And...if Tim and I have a daughter, I'm pretty sure she will be like this.

On The Ninth Day of Christmas...

I've been wanting to make gingerbread houses for a couple years now but
just haven't found the time to fit it in. How fun would it be to have a gingerbread house contest
at your holiday get-together with your family!?

I'm on a mission to do this!
Here's some inspiration, because let's face it, they usually look like this:



Stray from tradition and go modern!


Soooo adorable! I want to live here!
Gingerbread Barn!?

Umm..wow...


And the best for last!


I can't get over these little "mug ornaments"!

I'm channeling Martha Stewart..can ya tell!?

On The Seventh Day of Christmas...

Mariners Church is selling "Give Cards" on their website.
I think it's a really cool idea for stocking stuffers and it will give you
a warm fuzzy feeling inside...fer reals!


You purchase the card and the person you give it to redeems it online and can put it towards these causes:


LITERACY: 85% of all incarcerated juveniles are illiterate. Your gift will reduce the school dropout rate for students in need.

MEDICAL: 60% of all deaths in the world are from a preventable disease. Your gift will provide treatment, medication, medical clinics & wheelchairs for those suffering.

FAMILIES: 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. Your gift will meet urgent needs for families dealing with a crisis.

ORPHANS: 1 in 5 foster kids become homeless after they turn 18. Your gift will help bring healing and hope to these at-risk children and youth.

GOSPEL: 1/3 of the world’s population does not have access to the Gospel. Your gift will help church partners take the Gospel message to unreached people.

Here's the website:
