Happy 2009!

Hello, everyone!

We made it back from Keokuk (visiting Jusin's family) tonight. His family did their Christmas dinner on Saturday, so we headed out for Iowa on Thursday. Since it's about a four and a half hour trip, it's always nice when we have a couple of extra days to spend with them, instead of having to drive a lot on Saturday and then leaving on Sunday evening.

His sister, Dawn (the one in Colorado) is still recovering from her surgery but it sounds like she's doing fairly well. She's still in pain and pretty uncomfortable, but she's coping with it like a trooper. His Grandpa Winkler is doing really well with his surgery and whatnot. He's already up and using his walker. I'd say that's pretty good for a 94-year-old who just broke his hip.

As far as our uber-exciting New Year's Eve, we just stayed home. We had our champagne and watched movies. I'm not exactly sure when I turned so old and boring, but I'm guessing most of my "wild days" are over. I guess I used 'em all up going to college. :) I still have 'em once in a while when I go back to the 'Ville and see old buddies, but I guess I've gotten to be a geezer. Next thing you know, I'll have to (gasp!) mature.

Well, I hope everyone had a very nice weekend and I wish everyone a spectacular 2009!!!
