OUR BACHELOR NIGHTS!!

So while I will take just about any excuse to get together with the girls, there is a legitimate group who are bachelor fans. As for me I like the show depending on who the bachelor is. This season is Jason, the reject from the last bachelorette. Opps did I say reject, you know what I mean. (ha/ha) He wasn't my favorite but he has grown on me a little. What has really made it so enjoyable it the fun we have getting together to watch it. It is a great group of girls who fortunately or unfortunately always seem to bring amazingly good food. (I have had to restart my diet almost weekly thanks to them!) The door is always open to any fan of the bachelor or of just getting together. Luckily I pretty well fall into both categories. Mostly because I love hashing out someone else's drama besides my own! I figure if they do and say dumb things I have every right to talk about them, because they choose to do it on national t.v. Anyway I love our bachelor nights and I think we have decided that the bachelor season will go on year round this time. Whether the t.v. is on or not, all we need is good friends and good food, (it could be healthy by the way) and we will always have a bachelor night!!

FYI- Were still here

I know that I am way behind on my posts but it has really been a crazy month of travel and holidays and hospitals. Just a really short update, (I will back blog later). Right after thanksgiving which we spent with friends at family at the Garcia- Young home, we left for a cruise to Cozumel and Belize with my family. Mom, Dad, Jayleen, Janell, Ryan, Brian and I. We had an absolute blast and none of us wanted to leave. We returned late Saturday night, in denial of the reality that we were now only 3 weeks away from christmas. Then to throw a real twist into the choas, 2 days after we got home my Dad had a heart attack. It was totally unreal. He ended up having a 5 way bypass. I don't even know what the word for that is! Quad plus one? Anyway it was a very crazy emotional time for us all. My Mom was able to get Jayleen and Janell a flight out immediately - thank you SouthWest! It was a scary crazy time, we were all just in disbelief. Fast forward, Dad did make it out of the hospital. We know it will be a hard road of adjustments for him and probably for Mom as well, but we are just grateful that he is alive and that this didn't happen while we were on the cruise. He came to our house after leaving the hospital and they spent Christmas with us. It was wonderful to have family there to help celebrate. Christmas was truly a celebration for many reasons. Then to add to the celebration, Janell and Ryan decided sort of last minute to make a trip down to spend new years with all of us. It was really enjoyable to see my kids have fun with Dax and Kaydin. We played games galore and the Girls rocked at Rook (of course!) Anyway it made for a fun way to enter into a new year. While there were many great points of 2008 and some not so good, we are really looking forward to making 2009 an even better year. So here is to all the great resolutions we may make and a hope that we might keep them. I hope to be a better blogger... so here goes! Happy 2009 to you all!
