Back to Blogging

Hey everyone! It's so good to be able to blog again. I really have to get my internet at home up and running.
I had the most amazing Christmas, spending time with Brad, Michelle and the kids, as well as my sister, and my extended family. I met some new people and learned some new things and got some great gifts. The only downfall is that right after Christmas, I was thrown into what we at my job call "The week from he**." This is because it is the busiest time for us. We had 3500 balloons to inflate in the span of 4 1/2 days. Divide that by 7 employees, that rounds out to be about 111 balloons that I'm inflating each day, give or take mind you, considering the customers coming in off the street, as well as other jobs that need to be done, like decorating. Above is a picture of me at a hotel, decorating for New Years. I'm setting up balloons clusters, and I did about 35 of them all together. Yes, by this point in the picture, my neck is sore, my back is sore from getting down on the ground like that and straining my neck to look up to make sure the cluster is the right height.
It was good though. I got closer to a lot of people this holiday. I got closer with some people at work. New Years Eve, me and two of my friends from work went to see a movie, and then we went to a bar and had some drinks and now two certain people won't leave me alone, convinved that I was "hungover." (I had 2 glasses of Sex On The Beach and a small glass of champagne. Yes, you can laugh. I had Sex on the Beach.)
I also got closer to my "family." At first I thought the uplifted spirits would only last for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but the good mood has carried through and everybody just seems so happy and I'm really glad to see Michelle feeling better about things. I'm really glad I'm feeling better too. Man, life really changes when you just trust God to help you through, rather than dwell on things that make you upset. I'm the happiest I've ever been.
Oh, and for anyone who knows me, I need some help. My New Years resolution is to try new things. This includes, especially, foods, but also things like rollar coasters, or things that usually scare me. You only live life once, right?
