Obviously I have fallen behind in trying to blog. I went to sign in and could not remember my screenname or password. I probably should have called Ben at work - he remembers that sort of thing better than I. I have this week off from school, it so far is nice and relaxing. My cousin Tony and his girlfriend Tina came to spend the weekend with us. It was the first time we had met Tina and she is wonderful!! We had so much fun hanging out with them, hopefully they will come visit again soon. Since we had house guests we super cleaned our house so that is done for the week. (thankfully too - cleaning is not my strong suit) So today I am looking forward to having a relaxing day. I am doing some laundry, planning on working out later, catching up on some tv while crocheting a baby blanket for Katie (I am determined to finish one before a baby shower or actual due date - lol) At some point this week I want to go visit with Jen and the kids and get ahead on my school planning. So before I get started on any of that I want to get caught up on the blog thing. What has happened since my last post? We had a wonderful time at Thanksgiving with the Hoffman family. It was great seeing my brother in laws and sister in laws and our four nieces. We also enjoyed spending time with Ben's parents as always. Right around the corner from that was Christmas. We had a blast with Ben's parents the weekend before Christmas as they started their "Christmas Tour" here in Rochester. We had a lot of fun and a TON of snow! After Ben and papa Ed shoveled the driveway for the 6th time all four of us decided it was time for a snow blower. Christmas came and went - we had a wonderful time Christmas Eve listening to Ben sing at church and hanging out with mom and Danny. Christmas day was fun hanging out with mom and Danny and then spending the evening with the Kilmer part of the family. We ended 2008 by purchasing our first furnace - not by choice either but glad we did it. New Years Day Ben and I hosted the annual Kilmer Family Robber Bingo event at our house. It was a lot of fun! We played robber bingo, I made Uncle Ray's famous North Carolina BBQ for the first time (it was awesome!) and all of us played with the Wii.
I turned 30 on Feb 11th - not too bad either. Everyone kept asking me if I was nervous turning 30. I thought it was wierd because it is just a number. Plus I figure that the teens were great, the 20s were wonderful so how bad could the 30s be? My goal this week is to hopefully finish Katie's blanket so I can start one for Shannon. (shannon and Justin are expecting their third child this spring. We can't wait - we love being an aunt and uncle!)Hope you enjoyed the blog and I will try to be better keeping it updated.
