Leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again...

The craziness of the holidays is pretty much over and my two weeks of laziness are coming to an end.

Good times from Christmas vay-cay:

  • hauling in a huge load of sweet Christmas presents
  • getting a crazy charley horse from my brother the day I got home
  • watching Little Miss Sunshine with my mom
  • waking up to my mom blasting Engelbert Humperdinck on the record player (may not be such a good thing)
  • my brother plays Manitoba Junior hockey and I was at his game the other night - my program number was called and I got to shoot for $100 and pizza during the third period (I failed miserably but it was still great)
  • Boxing day shopping
  • shopping the day after boxing day
  • New Year's Eve with Kristen, Tyler, and Marcus, being hit on by creepy men, dancing to sick oldies, and maybe a meatball or two was thrown
  • playing Settlers with good friends
  • helping plan Gwen's wedding, coffee with Gwen, the Bakkers, and diner with Gwen and Tyson
  • tobogganing

Tonight my mom, my brother, his girlfriend, and her parents are all going out to eat at my favorite Chinese restaurant - Kum Koon Garden. Then we are going to see Night at the Museum, which I have been dying to see. It is my last night in town. Tomorrow after church I catch my flight back to ol'Albuquerque.

I will miss my family, but I am so looking forward to getting back into a routine again. I think it might come as a shock . I get in to Albuquerque at 6:30, get my car from the Shumate's and then have a 2 hour drive. Teach Monday morning, basketball practice after school, and then we have a game on Tuesday. Why am I coaching basketball??? Actually it has been enjoyable and the girls are great.

So keep your fingers crossed that I don't get stuck in Denver again.
