Christmas '07

Christmas came and went so fast this year! I definitely think the days are getting shorter...
Or maybe it's that I haven't made time to smell the warm chocolate chip cookies lately(I like chocolate much better than roses) Just enjoying a nice evening by the fire with a cup of hot tea would take up too much time! So, I guess my 2008 resolution will be to make more cookies, and drink more sleepy time tea...maybe even read a book that has nothing to do with nursing? Can't promise, but I can always hope. We hope this year will be slow for you too...although we are almost finished with January!

Papa John's Bowl

Brent took Jared to his first football game...and boy did they get the royal treatment!

Brent was able to get some tickets to the Cincinnati Bearcats bowl game down in Alabama. Brent, Jared and Christian, a friend from work, drove down in 10 hrs for a weekend of fun! Christian is an alumni who was able to hook them up with a great time! When they first got there they were able to go hang out with the band, Bearcat's mascot & cheerleaders, eat dinner and get lots of free stuff! Jared waited for the bus to arrive and the players came off one-by-one and high-fived Jared as they walked by. The morning of the game, Jared got to meet the players and listen to the head coach give a speech. He was so excited! Brent said he was smiling the whole time! He got to play games and they both got their faces painted. Bearcats 31-21 victory over Southern Mississippi!

Go Buckeyes!

So even though Ohio State didn't win the National Championship this year, Jared still made out with his new official team jersey for his birthday! (Here he is showing off his moves!)
