Hello everybody! It has been a long time since I last posted something. I have to say, blogging has been the last thing on my mind lately, but now that things have somewhat calmed down I thought I could post something. Let me just give you a quick review from since I last posted. First of all we had a great Thanksgiving. We ate dinner at my parents and enjoyed all the family. Right after Thanksgiving I developed these aweful bumps on the back of my head that hurt so bad. Well when I decided to ask Nic what they were his comment was "Oh my heck you have shingles!" For those of you who don't know what shingles are, they are basically the same virus as the chickenpox. Once someone has had the chickenpox then they become carriers of the virus that for most people remains dormant but for me not so lucky. Shingles can be brought on due to a vairety of reasons, but my reason .....STRESS! The doctor asked me what I could do to relieve some of this stress and I just laughed. I told him I have three kids, I work full time, and I am building a new house. He smiled and agreed. But I am recovering slowly but surely. We made it through the month of Decemeber without anything major happening. The kids only got sick once! Nic got the stomach flu on Christmas day, but he is feeling better now. We had a wonderful Christmas break with all the family. It is so fun just to stay home and play with all of our new Christmas presents. Andrew got more games for the Wii and Brooklyn got a Baby Alive doll "that really poops and pees!" according to Brooklyn. I tell her that we already had a real baby the poops and pees (Emrie) but Brooklyn wasn't too impressed. Emrie got a few toys but seems to enjoy Andrew's and Brooklyn's toys more. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we got the kids a dog for Christmas. I can't believe I actually broke down and bought a house puppy for my kids. I am not an animal lover at all. We named our cute puppy Boozer and man is he cute. His cuteness really won me over. So basically that is our life since the last time I posted. Our house is really coming along fast. Matt, our superintendent says that the house should be done the end of the month. We are all so excited.
P.S. When I get all the pictures from Christmas off my Camera I will add more pictures!

The house looks like it is going to be wonderful! And so sorry about the shingles - I had them in college and they are so very painful!! I am glad you are doing well though, even id life is crazy :).
I can't wait to see the final product of your house! It looks awesome...maybe we can have a Holley party at your house next!!! It was fun to see you and you're cute kids. Tell Brooklyn I said Hi!
Wow, Jamie I am glad to see a new post! Just kidding, I know this is the last thing on your mind. The house looks great you need to put new pictures of the stucco and brick on and the inside, so I can see them.
