Hale Center Theater - The Scarlet Pimpernel

What an excellent play! It was so good! I good friend got us tickets and I will never forget it. So much passion and such good acting. I've been to several other plays at the Hale Center but this one was my favorite. I really can't say enough good about it and I could never do it justice. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Here is a picture of the actors that played Percy and Margarite.

Snow Driving

Robs is in Chicago. It snowed about 5 inches last night. I had to take Rob to the airport so we left at 5:30am. Scary drive home from Airport. I was driving their was a good amount of snow on the road but I had everything under control. I was in the middle lane just in case I did slide I wouldn't hit a barrier or anything. THere were no cars behind me and only one in front of me. Things were going very smoothly until the car in front of me did a 180 and I found myself driving directly into a car spinning into my direction (facing me head on). I pumped the brakes and prayed really hard that I would be able to stop and not hit the car in front of me. Miraculously my car did slow down in time for the car ahead of me to regain control and drive off to the side and out of my way. I was very grateful for an answer to my prayer.

Black Friday Deals

So Rob and I conveniently slept in on Black Friday but we still got some great deals. We finally got a glider (rocking chair) at Baby's R Us. They were 50% off! So we got a $300 chair and ottoman for $149.00, I'm so glad we didn't pay full price (we almost bought one a few months back) So glad we waited. I got a much needed hard drive, a little toy for Stephan (Reg 25.00 - we paid $9.99) for Christmas its a little train with a track and all. Its really cute - I can't wait to see him play with it. I'm trying to get 72 hour kits together so I was able to pick up some stuff for that for a good deal too. Got a bunch of other good deals on Christmas gifts but I can't say what they were in case the recipients read this. But I was tickled! It was such a fun day. I'm so glad Rob is so willing to go shopping with me.

We put up the Christmas Tree on Saturday, I need to work out some lighting issues. Its a pre-lit tree and the mid section of the tree lights don't work :(. Robs gone and I don't have a clue. Why is it all the technical things give me problems when he's not here to fix them for me? Last night the door lock decided to break and I was basically locked out in the cold with Stephan luckily I was able to drive to my moms and recruit my brother Jacob to come unscrew the door and get me back inside my house. Needless to say I really miss Rob when he leaves.

My sister Wendy had her baby yesterday morning. Her husband William finally got his little boy after two little girls :). Congrats you two!

Watched home videos today with Jacob and Lizzy. It was a hoot! So many things that you forget if you don't record them. So funny! My family is so cute.

Cutest Hat!!!

A dear neighbor of my parents made this hat for Stephan - I thought it was so cute I had to take his picture!

Family Pictures

This is my boy, how I adore him! Fifty pictures and we couldn't get a smile - get in the car to head home and that boy was all smiles. (Rascal!). He loved the globe, he touched it and wanted to look at it the whole time.



Stephan and Me - I loved this picture!


We got family pictures taken! I was very happy with the way they turned out.



We opted to have the pictures taken outside but we all got drenched (notice Stephan's hair in below picture). Notice mine in the picture to the left.
