A small update.

12/9/09: Nathan's birthday and I totally didn't call him. Ugh. Sorry about that, Nathan! Life has been hectic and busy, as usual. Hope you had a perfect 39th birthday! Wednesday was also my weigh-in day. I only lost 1/2 pound, but hey, that's better than zero, and definitely better than gaining. So, I've lost a total of 8 pounds. Now, I just need to start some serious exercise. :)

12/10/09: Kale and I went in and met with his school counselor at RHS. Yeah! He's going back to Roseville in January. I'm happy that he got to do the whole Independence thing, like he wanted, but he had a good reality check in that he is seriously bored to tears being at home all the time, and he's looking forward to going back to "regular" school.

12/11/09: Carcerys Vale had a show in Fresno. Shawn allowed Austen and the guys to go without him (he just couldn't make it with work). They drove the 3 hours down there, did the show, spent the night at La Quinta Inn and came back on Saturday. All went very well!

12/12/09: Bailey and I had lunch with Lisa and Lauren at Prime Wok. (Their treat ... so nice!)They are both such wonderful friends to both of us. We love them dearly. After, Bailey went to play at Lauren's and then about 5:00pm, they both came back here and Lauren spent the night. Kale went and hung out with a friend and then went to her indoor soccer game. Austen went to RHS' holiday dance show.

12/13/09: After Lauren left this morning, Bailey and I watched Eloise at Christmas. Such a cute movie! I'd never seen it before. It was very sweet. We will also be wrapping gifts, and hopefully finishing up any crafty things we're working on. Fun stuff. My fingers are crossed that the rain will let up so Shawn and the boys can get some Christmas lights put up on the house. It's not looking good, but a girl can dream, right?
