I don't quite know how to begin this post. I want to apologize for not writing more. I want to tell you all about what has been going on in my life and I want to mention movies and people and Christmas and a whole lot of other stuff. So, let's begin :D

OK! So, the apology: I'm sorry for neglecting you so and I hope to do better. I hope you are not too angry with me though I will say I have missed you and have meant to post several times. I had a nice long post all written out and had about a million pictures to put on it but our internet was completely nuts at the time and I couldn't upload...Sadly.

Next, what has been going on in my life. Well, my sister's wedding date was moved back to February. From June so it was quite a move. I'm happy for her but sad to see her go. She is really happy and extremely excited and our friend KattyRae has her hands full getting a wedding shower planned and well, things have just been really busy.

Now, on to Christmas! Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love the way everything is. It's cold,  families get together, great food, talking to friends you haven't seen in a while and lots of other stuff. This Christmas was awesome. We watched the "Nativity Story", it was my first time to see it, and "It's a Wonderful Life". If you haven't seen them I would recommend both. They are fantastic movies

My soon-to-be--brother-in-law got to meet the family at Thanksgiving and he was invited to join us again at Christmas. He seemed to enjoy himself and the family had a good time too so that was all good.

On to movies!! I saw "Red Dawn" in theatres. It has been forever since I saw the old one so I can't really compare the two. I know that the new one seemed to have a ton of language which I didn't care for at all. I saw the "Hobbit" a few days ago with some friends and it was fun! No, I don't just go to the movies but I enjoy going when it is a good movie. I'm supposed to see the "Hobbit" again soon with a whole group of people and this time in 3D so I'm excited. I like the Lord of the Rings trilogy but they're not my favorite movies. Like a friend said, I just can't justify a Good Wizard. But the movies are pretty good. Some parts of it are disgusting but the "Hobbit" wasn't that bad. The book was supposedly written for a younger audience so the movie is less ugly. Now do not, I repeat NOT, take it that I said that it was not bad. It had some trolls and orcs that were pretty ugly but I didn't find them as bad as the LOTR. I wouldn't recommend this for younger children but use your own judgment.

Well, I have enjoyed it. See y'all soon!!!!
