What can I say about this kid?? He is my miracle baby and I thank God every day for giving me three awesome years with this little guy. When my five pound preemie turned into such a little man I'm not sure. He taught me what it means to actually love something more than myself. I have never met such an empathetic child- the way he picks up on how others are feeling is astounding. He is such an amazing big brother. I really didn't know how he would deal with the baby crying at all hours of the night and having to share not only his toys but his parents--- and it totally came naturally to him. He is always trying to make sure brother is smiling. I love watching him grow and experience new things. I never understood the saying "zest for life" but in watching him I now know! It makes me laugh that at 3 he knows the difference between a dodge, a ford and a Chevy at a moments glance and how a track hoe, a back hoe and a dozer all mean something different to him. Maybe that is just a guy thing. I hate that he already has little girls following him around....but i get it....those dimples are hard to resist!! "I uff you Stryker" happy birthday sweet boy!what else??? Nick switched jobs and was working in Big Piney, Wyoming but after only a week and a half that rig got stacked out so they offered him a position on a rig in North Dakota....that's right NORTH DAKOTA and he took it...so that's what we're doing for now....it sucks and I hate it!!!!
My jeep broke down again....don't worry...same problem!! this will be the fourth time it has gone into the shop in the past two months for the same thing....so, that is why I'm driving yet another crappy rental car. Although i must admit it is a step up from the last three....maybe me totaling the last one showed them....which brings me to that story....
about two and a half weeks ago, the last time the jeep was in the shop, I was heading up to Rock Springs to help Nick out with a few things and I slid off the road and took out a few trees. The car was still drivable and was only missing the front bumper so i didn't think it would be that big of a deal.....apparently i totaled it....yeah that is the second totaled vehicle in six weeks.
Christmas was good and it was nice to spend time with both sides of our families, plus like I mentioned before it was also Stryker's birthday so Christmas is always extra special. Nick worked New Years Eve and I was asleep by like 8:30 so it was uneventful to say the least... as for new years resolutions I still haven't gotten around to it.
Doesn't sound like much- I know- but all of that paired with a slacker like me and you get one post in a month and a half......
