Happy Holidays to ME :)
On November 19th at 6:28 AM I helped to welcome my cousin's baby... Khia Angel Lee (Last name here) .. sorry, didn't want to put the last name on here.. baby privacy rights :) :)
She was a small baby, but both mommy and baby are doing extremely well. I am very excited to have this new cousin, and my cousin Ashley and I were very close when she was younger... *I changed her diapers, the whole thing* .. I am very happy for her, and very proud of her :) She has a tough road ahead, being as young as she is, but she is very intelligent, and has all the love this baby will ever need.
Then....
Blake Alexander (Last name here) has arrived.

He weighted 8lbs 9.5 oz and is 21 inches long.
So I was doubl-y blessed. Two of my cousins had babies born within a week or so :)
I have not met little Mr Blake yet, as they live in Ohio, but I hope to sometime soon here in 2007..... Congratulations and my love all around :):)
What else has been taking up my time? Not a whole lot. I have really been trying to get out and about more, and back to driving myself and Jim places, because I have been a passenger for far too long, and need to get back into the swing of a little more independence... **Jim and I are fine by the way** just trying to get back to where I was before all of this turmoil happened in my mind and heart... So I am working on that :)
Leo and Lizzie (otherwise known as the cats) are doing well... Lizzie has gotten a nickname of "shredder" by Jimbo... she really really really likes toilet paper, and basically any paper products :)
Sadly, on that note, we do need to find new homes for Leo and Lizzie when we move to Vermillion for Jim to attend USD in June. I don't think this will be a problem, except in our hearts.. we already have leads on a place for them.. our neighbors' boss keeps a machine shop, and its heated and cooled, and they always want a few cats around just to hang out there, and for good downtime :) so we will see...
I am very very excited about moving to Vermillion.. that campus is huge, and I really think that Jim will thrive there. I can't wait to see how the classes compare though, because I have heard that changing from a tech school to a university usually means tougher classes, and more study necessary... Jim can do it though.. he is a tough cookie, and when he has his mind set on something.. he doesn't let it fail... I might even take a class or two, we will see (after I see how hard they are on jim lol)
Hopefully, the move to the small (read:cramped) dorm efficiency will free up more spending money for Jim and I, so we can do more 1 and two day vacation excursions to places like Omaha and Sioux Falls. It is always nice to have a little more "fun money" so we are looking forward to that :) :) Having cable, internet, phone, and electric included in low rent rates is a BONUS :):):)
It is bitter cold here today...did I mention that? If I didn't... it was prolly cuz I am trying to mentally block the memory of it :) -- I do enjoy the snowiness of winter, but the bitter cold with wind, I could do without... and Jim has a rough cold going on right now, so that doesn't help him at ALL....
Ok, that is probably enough for right now... Enjoy the holiday festivity, and hopefully the closeness it will bring with friends and family :) Remember to be thankful for things as well :):) :)
Angel Chasse (again)
