Campbell Family: January 2009

My Morning Curse

That's right, I'm starting to believe I'm cursed. Somewhere, someone has a voodoo doll of my car and is just putting that pin in my tires, literally! Over the past few months, I have had a least five flat tires, and I've discovered all of them when I'm rushing on my way to work in the morning. Wait, I lied. My most recent flat was discovered by my Boss on his way to lunch. That's not embarrassing!! At least now he knows I haven't been lying when I call him to say "I'll be a little late today, I have a flat tire." After the 3rd flat, I bought new snow tires. Thinking, surely I've had my fair share of flat tires for awhile. Well, since getting new tires in early December, I've had two - that's right TWO flat tires. I finally started having Paul take pictures of the objects that I managed to collect because I couldn't believe it either. I'm trying to be patient, but I can't help but think 'Why Me?'

This little beauty was my most memorable flat.
This crazy metal thing made a really loud
ting, ting, ting noise all the way down the driveway.
Under normal circumstances, I would be happy that a
weird noise wasn't something more serious - but I wasn't amused!
I'm sure you've all ran over one of these, right?

I'd like to thank this screw for showing me I do have
coworkers who care. I had several come and offer
to put on my spare tire and take my car to Big O for
a fix. I, however, gave the honor to Paul.

Happy New Year!

Our holidays this year were spent, as usual, not at home!! This year we managed to visit four different cities and two states between Christmas and New Years. (But we love it!!) We rang in the New Year at Laura and Cody's house in Grand Junction. This is two years in a row that we've spent it there, so maybe it's a tradition now.?. We had a lot of fun playing games, playing the Wii (Paul and I were unstoppable at tennis), eating, and watching movies. Cody was even able to kind of scare Paul with a spooky lady he hung in our shower. For all of you who know Paul, you know how impossible it is to scare him, and how good he is at scaring everyone.

"Happy New Year!"

Merry Christmas!

We got together with friends at Rodizio Grill before Christmas for dinner and a gift exchange. It was so much fun to see everyone! Since we don't have Jazz tickets this year, we don't get to see them that often. We are so blessed to have such great friends who we love! (Harry & Kasey, thanks again for the great gifts!)

Paul and I spent the Christmas holiday with the Campbell family in Richfield. We had so much fun hanging out with everyone and spent a lot of time relaxing, putting together puzzles, and eating. We also spent a day at Grandma Campbell's house in St. George. She is so cute, and we always love seeing her.

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas too!!
