February Update..............

Well like Amber said our busy schedule makes the time fly, and she is soooooo right. Here we are in February already. Last weekend we enjoyed the county band performance and Brandon had a great time meeting new people. Now we are looking forward to the Middle school play, Agatha Rex. Nicole has been really enjoying practicing for it. We think we are prepared with her outfit, we did a Walmart run. Tickets go on sale next week. The play is Friday, Feb 22 (yes, my birthday) and Sat Feb 23rd both at 7pm. On Saturday they will have a dessert theather. Also on Saturday, Brandon will be competing with TSA in Mifflinburg. Oh yes, we hope to spread ourselves thin and be at all of it. Nicole has been busy with scouts too, this week they enjoy a pool party. As many of you know we have also been busy with fund raisers, hoagie sales, girl scout cookies and pizza sales. The pizza and hoagie sales have been for the band trip in April to Virginia. After the next hoagie sale we think Brandon will have his trip payed for. As for anyone who feels left out about the cookie sales, please don't. We did not try to sell many cookies this is Nicoles last year in scouts so who knows what will happen to the troop after this. The leader is currently in charge of two troops so this has been a bit challenging. She did inform the girls that they had plenty of money to do anything they wanted to without selling cookies so once again just didn't seem like there was a point in pushing the cookies.The cookie company had changed too so we are unsure of any changes other than the girls not getting much money from the sales. This past weekend we had the pleasure of having Kalista spend the night. It is always a joy having her over. The weather was a bit yucky, we had snow, ice and high winds. The typical Pa. winter weather. The end of January we went to the annual winter campers dinner at Hidden Valley. It was really nice we were able to meet the new owners of the campground. They seem really nice and sounds like it might be a nice change. Fresh blood is always the best and an open mind. This coming weekend we have off for a long President day break. Chris and I are having a pot and pan meal party, we have had them in the past and it is really nice. The gentleman (also Chris) comes and brings all the food and cooks for everyone a meal (usually chicken and meatloaf) no one leaves hungry. I must say my family has the pots and pans and we love it. I bought mine way before I was thinking of marriage so it is nice to update the proper ways to cook with them and the healthy ways. Well I guess this is all we have for now. I really hope to get some pictures on here too. I still have not been able to get the computer fixed and it has good days and bad days so we take advantage of the good ones. Hope everyone has a wonderful romantic Valentines Day!! Ours will be spent quietly at home with just the four of us. Chris will be delivering flowers for the local florist on Wed. and Thurs., you know the bussiest florist holiday.
