Christmas is over and a New Year to begin

Saturday before Christmas I got my first gift my new car. We had looked at this Honda before and drove it and really liked it but it with a little above your price range. then David and his brother were looking in the computer at work and punch in a web site of request of a Honda pilot and this same car came up again but they had lowered the price of this 2008 last one on the lot and we went to see the dealer again that weekend. They had gave us a good deal on this new 2008 only 20 miles on it we took the deal and I drove off the lot after about four hours of paper work and cleaning and setting -up the car that the dealer does before releasing the car to the owner.


Tuesday December 23rd we had a family birthday celebration for David's birthday. Jennifer and her family were there and also David's parents. We had a spaghetti dinner a tradition for Davids birthday and a cake made by his mother which was a cake he had most birthdays when he was a young boy. Angel food cake with ice cream and peppermint's with pecan's.

Christmas morning was great the family all together again with Margaret and Jennifer. Things changed just before we were to be heading to David's parents for Christmas dinner Matthew came down with an illness so David and him stayed home will the rest of us went to his parents.

It was hard not having them there with us but latter they did show up for a little time for David and Matthew to open up gifts then go back home. We where able to get this family picture.

Nightmare Tuesday

I will be getting a new car for Christmas.

Not the way I would of like that to come about.

Tuesday night I was taking the boys to the church for Young Men's and Scouts. When going through the intersection of Green Valley and Mangles a women run the light and hit me.

I think of what could happen if I had been farther in the intersection when the women came speeding through the intersection.

The two boys plus their neighbor friends where also in the car with me, they were not hurt but I'm sure they are shaken up like me. I have some bruising on my left shoulder and lower pain in back and neck but I think it is more due to stress of the season.

We look at it has we where being watched that we had not injuries more sirius.
