I'm Back

Welcome to 2013 (a couple days late)! I plan to post this year 3 times a week: Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday so hold me to it!

The start of the new year has already been news filled for our family.  I started out on December 29 buying a new car.  After 3 hours in the car dealership we made a deal on a White Pearl 2013 Subaru Legacy. With the All Wheel Drive I hope that I no longer get stuck in our street when we have heavy snow fall.  It is so much quieter to drive then the Elantra it is amazing.

Then on January 3 we traveled to Cedar Rapids to get a Bearded Dragon for Campbell.  He wanted one for Christmas but since you can't wrap and animal and keep it like that for 3 days with out food we had to wait until after Christmas. Then our local PetSmart has been out of Bearded Dragons since then.  Zeus joined our family and is settling in rather well. He is about six inches long and skinny. (I'll post a picture shortly) They say these are very social and after seeing one in the Pet store I do believe it.

Friday I took my friend of mine to Rochester MN for her last Chemotherapy session. Such a sad reason to get together but the trip was fun! I love when you can visit for longer than 5 minutes. She had to be up there at 7 so we left our house at 4:30. I was more awake than I thought I would be at that time. I think I shocked Dana too. Today there was a fundraising picnic dinner for her. It was heartwarming to see the crowd of people that come out to show their support when you are hit with something like this. Community is truly a blessing.

So I hope the rest of my year brings as many joys as this week has.  See you Tuesday!
