GOODBYE 2009 HELLO 2010!!!!

So this year has been a ROUGH, ROUGH, ROUGH, year for the both of us!

(This blog will have January content in it! just warning ya! :D)

The month of December has been amazing!

• We first started it with a couple of visitors from ALABAMA! My mom, sister, and a HUGE SURPRISE my brother, John, came up to visit Daniel and me for the weekend! It is always nice seeing people that you love, and that holds a special place in your heart! We took lots and lots of pictures (they will soon be uploaded I promise!).

• Next, we took a little trip to Branson, MO. I have only been there a total of 3 times, but I have fallen in love with the place! We spent the weekend with my "fa-da and motha like-no-other," my two sweet sister-in-laws (Jess and Amber), and their significant others (Daniel and Jeremiah). I don't know what it is about the holiday's but I love it! Anyways, we all had a great weekend, and got to share crafting ideas! (If you have a chance check out Jessica's craft site! You can see my Christmas present on there! hehe http://sunnytuesday.blogspot.com).

• Daniel and I actually got a weekend off before all of the CrAzInEsS of Christmas Day.

• We spent Christmas in Alabama visiting my parents and my family. We got lots and lots of hugs which are far better than presents! However, Daniel may disagree with me! He recieved an AUTOGRAPH ARKANSAS JERSEY BY DARREN MCFADDEN from my mom and dad. He is STILL TALKING ABOUT IT!

• Daniel and I started playing cards and board games right after Christmas and haven't stopped! That is probably why I haven't gotten online much or watched TV.

• Daniel took his finals in his graduate classes and did quite well. We are still waiting on the final grade for one class.

• Angel started a new position at the Jonesboro Human Development Center working in Quality Assurance! It is GREAT!

BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG UPDATE~!~

Daniel stopped taking his medication the week before we all went to Branson. He had a seizure/episode/(insert own word here) while we were in Branson. Well today, January 08, 2010 marks the 1 MONTH SEIZURE FREE!!! Amazing right! Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us and him over the past few months! We appreciate it and we know how loved we are! Thank you a milion times over! (For those of you who do not know, we think that his medication was causing his seizures. If you are placed on an anti-seizure medication and do not have a seizure disorder, it can actually cause seizures! F.Y.I. lol).



On New Year's Day, Linda, Joni, and myself went to St. Louis while Rick and Daniel went to Memphis (Our weekend first, then theirs):

• We went up to St. Louis and visited with Linda's dad and family. I got to spend some time with my sister-in-law, Amber. It was really nice, because she is the only one that I hadn't spent a lot of time with before that weekend. We had a lot of fun! I am blessed to say I have two pretty amazing sister-in-laws (I think I have already said that once, so just get over it! hehehe). We had a great girls' weekend where we just did what girls do, chit-chat!
  
• The Guys: The guys had a tournament in Memphis on the 2nd. After playing for probably 8 hours straight, Daniel and Rick TOOK FIRST PLACE! CONGRATS GUYS!

Thanks for visiting.... look for another blog later this weekend, for pictures, and as some call it "non-so-concrete resolutions"
