Long Time

So it has been some time since I last updated my blog. I have a new job. I work at a transitional drug and alcohol place. I am the administrative assistant. I love it there. It is the best job I have had. I love not working in retail. Back in August we found out that we were going to have another nephew. Cody's brother Jon and sister-in-law were going to have another boy. So that makes three nephews so far. In October Cody and I celebrated out 5 anniversary. It has been such an amazing 5 years with him. He has really grown up and become an amazing person. I remember when we first started dating. He was about to drop out of school, was smoking and doing drugs. We got together and he cleaned up. He finished school (with some help from me). Soon he will be going to school to become a mechanic. He has wanted to work on cars for the longest time. He has the support of me, my family and his brother and sister-in-law to become one. Oh in October we had our first Halloween party with family. Next year it will be better. From now on Cody and I have Halloween, Thanksgiving is my moms holiday, Christmas is my Aunt Melissa's and so is Easter.

He celebrated his 23rd birthday in November. I got pizza and we had pizza and beer with my family. We had celebrated his birthday with Jon, Ashley and the nephews in October since we weren't going to be seeing them til December. Work has been going good for both of us. At the beginning of December we got to spend three days with his brother, Jon and the family. Normally when we go out Jon has to work and we don't get to see him much. So this was really nice to spend three wonderful days with them all. While we were visiting them we celebrated Christmas with them. It was a blast. Ashley and I went out a couple of times to get the newest nephews a going home outfit. Saturday, December 18th we got a phone call saying that Ashley had the nephews a couple of weeks old. His name is Liam Robert. We are going to be meeting him January 8th. During which time I have the great pleasure of meeting Jon's dad and step-mom. And they get to see Cody for the first time in years. Wednesday, December 22nd was my cousin Nathan's 5th birthday. It was a scary day because my sister got into a car accident. She was working and was driving to a stop. She was going 65 mph (the speed limit on the high way she was on), there was two cars in front of her. The one car went to the left, the other went the right. She hits a old man's car who was stopped in the middle of the high way. Her air bags never went off. Luckily she was able to walk away from the accident. She has angels watching over her. She has do physical therapy but she is a live.

Cody and I had a great Christmas Eve and Christmas day. On Christmas Eve, Cody and I went to my church for service with some of my family. It was so nice to have him there with me. He said he liked it and will think about going to church with me again. That makes me so happy. Then after church we went to my parent's house to spend the night. We have been doing that since we moved out and on our own. That way we wake up all together and do Christmas morning. Christmas day we spent some time at my parents before stopping home long enough to feed the cats and drop off gifts and get the next set of gifts. Then we went to my Aunt Melissa's for Christmas dinner. We always have Christmas dinner at Melissa's, her house use to be my grandmothers. Well that pretty much sums up everything i think. I hope to stay updating from now on but not promising anything.

Here are two pictures that Ashley took for us for Christmas. Enjoy!!!

This is the Christmas card.
We sent out 34 picture cards with a Christmas card for family
and friends.
