Well we have had a busy, fun, scary week! Monday thru Friday I finished all of the shopping! Going out into the crazy world with even crazier people driving in the snow, that for some reason they think it isn't going to snow, so they forget how to drive in it!!! Ryan had wrestling at West Side, his old school, on Wednesday night, against Mountain Crest and Bear River, both from Utah. He didn't get to wrestle any of his old friends, but won both of his matches that night!!! Courtney got dropped off at her friend Samantha's house and they went babysitting later. Joslyn got to pick up her BFF, Claire and her sister, Carrie and take them with us to the school. Thursday was Courtney's 13th birthday! I can't believe I have 2 teenagers now! She LOVES owls, so I scoured this town and found her a stuffed owl, a owl shirt and an owl desk set, plus some other things, namely an "I Love Edward Cullen" shirt from the Twilight book series that she loves. I never thought I would have a daughter that loves owls, vampires and science fiction/fantasy books. She's definitely her father's daughter! Thursday was also Joslyn and Chad's Christmas program at school, or to be PC, the Holiday program - whatever!!! They both did a great job, Joslyn's class sang "Home for the Holidays" and "North Pole Rock and Roll", for that one hey all wore sunglasses and looked so COOL! Chad's class sang Santa Ho - a version of BINGO and Angel Band, which they gave them sticks to hit against each other, who thought of giving 5 & 6 year olds sticks?!?! Anyway, way cute!!! Then Thursday night, Ryan had wrestling at Century, his school now against Bonneville from Idaho Falls and Rigby, he has cousins that go to each of these schools - Josh and Logan, respectively. He beat his guy from Bonneville, but lost to his guy from Rigby, but it was a fun night. Friday, Craig and I went out shopping, loads of FUN!!! We've vowed to never leave the house AGAIN!!! Saturday we drove to Idaho Falls and saw Craig's Dad, his brother, Dean and his wife Deanna, to give them their Christmas gift. Then over to Kevin and Sharlene's for a while, to see wedding photos of their daughter Angela's wedding on the 15th of this month in Portland. Then we hit Sam's Club and McDonald's on the way out of town. This is where the SCARY part comes in - we were just past Fort Hall Indian Reservation on I-15, when the gas pedal gets stuck!!! Thank Heavens Craig is driving, not me, because I don't know what I would of done!!! He had to ride the brakes and try to get it to stop, it wouldn't, so we got off the exit and drove into a parking lot and just shut it off. Even then when we would turn it back on, it would just rev and rev, Craig thinks the line is broken or something. So luckily we were only about 6 blocks from the house, so Craig and Ryan ran home and got the other car and came back and picked us up. I had in the meantime, called the insurance help line and got a tow truck sent out. We had to lead the tow truck driver over to where we wanted it dropped off, because he's kind of new to town. I have never been so scared or prayed so hard in all of my life. But we are all safe and other then being a bit scared and not having the van to drive, we are okay. We are just going to stay in the house all week, enjoy the snow - we have a couple of inches and are expecting some more - have a nice Christmas, watch some football - that will just be me, but whatever! - and have a good rest of the year.
Wishing you all a Safe and Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Year!!! We Love You!
