Day with Erock

Jerry and I watched Erick, our nephew, today while his parents went Christmas shopping. We started with breakfast at the Hangar Cafe then Jerry remembered that Travis Pastrana was in Gilbert doing autographs so we stopped by. He was at the new Subaru dealership where there was a rally car show. We decided to go ahead and get in line for an autograph but got stopped at the door while Travis took a lunch break...after 2 hours waiting we got what we wanted and even scored a picture with him. I have to admit that I did not really know who he was until we stopped at the event. I'm glad we did because Erick was happy to have gotten an autograph!! It was a fun day :)

A little update...

It's been a while since I have updated my blog. We really have not been up to too much over the past 2 months. The weather has finally turned pleasant and the Holiday's are finally here. Our Thanksgiving was very quiet. Jerry and I went to his brother's for a mid afternoon turkey dinner. It was nice to visit with the family and eat some yummy food. The Broncos were on TV too, so I enjoyed watching the game as well. I really missed having my family here this year even though they haven't been here in the recent years past. Maybe next year will bring us together for the Holiday's; one can only hope :)

Jerry and I decorated the house for Christmas over Thanksgiving weekend. The house is filled with Christmas cheer which is enjoyable to come home to after work each day. The lights are up on the house too. It is so beautiful to drive through the streets this time of year and see the decorations bursting out from so many homes. Christmas sure has a whole new meaning as I have gotten older. It's not about the presents received but rather the laughter and joy I get from being with Jerry and loving our new life together. We have so much to look forward to in the years to come and hopefully next year will bring new beginnings and happy endings. This year has been filled with lots to be thankful for but has also brought some enduring times. I believe 2010 will be a big year for us in so many ways and look forward to every moment!
