Weekly Weekend Update

After work on Friday Luke and I headed to my hometown to hang out with our friends from college. It is just a small group of friends but we have so much fun when we get together!

Luke and I headed East and first stopped by my house to see my family and play with the cutest little baby boy, my nephew.

Then we headed over to our friends Jodi and Kyle's house. When we got there they were already playing Guitar Hero World Tour. Have you played this game?? It is so fun.

If you have never met me in 'real life' you should be glad, glad that you never have to hear me sing. I am awful. I mean horrible. For some reason God decided to give me the worst singing voice ever. But I have learned to be ok with it.

I do not let my bad voice keep me from singing.

Singing is one of my favorite things to do! Forget the fact that I can't carry a tune, I love singing any song, any genre, fast or slow. I do not limit myself, I just sing whatever I want.

So when the position of Lead Singer for our Guitar Hero band was open I jumped at the opportunity, despite my singing abilities.

I took my job seriously. I was living out every dream I ever had of becoming a Pop Star.

When I was a little girl, I would make a stage and pretend I was on 'Kid's Incorporated'. 15 years later, I am still pretending. Life is good.

The next day was our Christmas get together! This year our theme was 'tacky Christmas sweaters'.

Growing up my mom wore a different Christmas sweater every day in December. So I had no trouble finding something to wear. In fact, Luke didn't either.

Initially my mom was offended when I asked if she had one big enough for Luke, but low and behold we found one in her pile.

She said that when she bought this sweater 10 some odd years ago she never could have imagined that her future son in law would be wearing it!

The Tree's in all of their Tacky Christmas Glory:
Our tacky sweaters did not stop us from jamming outLuke in his sweater playing lead guitar......I have never been more attracted to him.

He contemplated wearing this to church on Sunday. He later decided not to. Thank you Lord for the gift of common sense.

Hope you had a great weekend!
