February

Next month is Ashley's 13th birthday, and we wanted to do something really fun and memorable for her.  So we are going to have a murder mystery party!  I am so excited, and praying that it turns out well and everyone has a good time and that it will be something they all remember :-)  I finally got another camera too, so hopefully this one will work much better than the one I got (and returned) at Thanksgiving.  We are also going on our family vacation in 2 1/2 weeks, so that is really exciting.  Then when we come home, I get to see my brand new niece :-) and Rebecca, and then Rachel and her family are coming here from S. Korea!!  I am so excited to see all of my family.  I have never met their baby boy, he will be 1 right before they come here.  So I get to be surrounded by sweet little babies I can cuddle, and then send home :-)  It'll be great!!  Now I'm off to plan how to turn my house into a Hawaiian Luau setting in under a month . . .
