Merry Chirstmas!

I hope every one of my dear friends and family members is having or had a wonderful Christmas day. My day was very relaxed and joyous. I spent most of the day with my grandma and grandpa Stout. I don't get to see them very often, so it was a special treat to have them all to myself. We had dinner and played Canasta with my great Uncle Ron and Aunt Dee. I watched a marathon of House and ate way too many sweets. Mike is going to kill me. Even though I didn't get snow for Christmas, it was still a great day. Miss all of you in AZ, and I'll see you soon.

BURRRR

I have finally arrived in Ohio for Christmas and it is freaking cold! I don't have too many tales from the flight because I slep through the entire thing. I'm amazed, normally I sleep for only part of the flight. One story that Jess will enjoy. There was a girl sitting next to me during my last leg of trip, who was wearning your favorite outfit. She had on black tights with brownish red boots, a black caridgan, and a black hat. That was it. I immediatly thought of you and your "friend" who wore a very similar outfit recently, lol.

This next story was told to me by my mom and unfortunatly it is about a family memeber. My Aunt got a call from my Uncle, the one in Alaska, on Saturday fumming mad. He got a visit from child protective services on Friday because one of his girlfriends children told the teacher that her mommy put duck tape on her and there was a red mark. He was mad that the teacher would stick her nose into their buissness, because (punch line) she put the tape on gently!!! He admitted that the accuation was right. I think Uncle Mike should be more worried about his girlfriend using duck tape on the children, than with a teacher who was bound by law to report the incident. Some people amaze me.

This is for Jessica!

All right already, I created a blogspot, yay for me!!!!! Jessica has been bugging me for a long time to get a blogspot, along with a few other friends (Cortney for example). I guess we'll see how often I use this thing. Don't expect too much from me I'm not a writer and I am the only person between the ages of 16-80 who does not own a digital camera, so good luck on getting any up to date pictures.

I'm up at this good awful hour because I'm leaving on a jet plane in exactly 24 hours, which means I had to check in with Southwest to get the best seat possible. I made group A, if you fly southwest, you understand the joy behind that statement. I'm going home for CHRISTMAS! This the first time since I left in 2002, that I will spend Christmas back in OHIO. I'm afraid I just might freeze! However having a Christmas with family and old friends will help me survive.

Even though I'm super excited to spend Christmas with my mom's family and relive some childhood memories. I am really going to miss my Arizona traditions. For the last three, maybe four years, I have spent Christmas morning with my closest friends Jessica and Jeana. They took me in and made me part of the family. My favorite part about spending Christmas morning with them is watching the kids open gifts. This year I'm going to miss Lyla and Lillie's first Christmas :( Of course I'm going to miss the very animated Paige too. I am comforted to know that there will be lots of picture from their wonderful moms.
