Yesterday was lots of fun, aside from the fact that I was pretty sleepy. I slept on and off on the two hour car ride, and that was about it. We got to see everyone and it was just a good time. Shane's aunt and uncle are the coolest people, very fun, welcoming and well, they just bring a smile to your face. Shane played a lot of foos ball with his brother, sister, and cousin, from which he suffered the ball hitting him directly in the eye. They boys had blisters on their fingers from playing so much, but they couldn't stop. The girls went to The Super Dollar Tree in Salinas for a bit. It was huge. Then we played Imaginiff, which was a really fun game. Good Christmas present if you know someone who likes games. We had lots of really delicious food and a great time visiting. I am really glad we went.

I slept in till noon, so the day is half way over now. I was so tired. Shane is sitting at the kitchen table, writing a paper on his laptop with his headphones on. He is singing out loud and it's very very cute and entertaining. I have no idea what I am going to do today. I am going to enjoy my day off, since it's back to work for three starting tomorrow night. I am also signed up for two extra shifts this next weekend, in attempt to rake in the bucks. I hope I am per diem by then so I will rake even more in. Ah, money. I hate the stuff. I wish I could worry about it less. The Lord always provides for us and we have always been taken care of, but man, it is so hard to let it all go and not care or worry about it.

So, tomorrow is December and I can hardly believe it. I have a little Christmas shopping to finish. I gave Natalie the quilt I made her yesterday, since we saw her. She liked it so much. I am so glad. I think quilts are the best. I really can't wait till I can make more a nd become really proficient at it. I need a talent, anyway. Maybe quilting can be it.
