The Stache is Making a Comeback

Lots of Famous People wore the mustache, some better than others. I don't know what do you think does Gabe pull it off, or it is just a creepy pedophile stache!

Gabe and I went back to Tyler Texas last weekend for Dane's (Gabe's little brother) homecoming from his mission. He served for 2 years in Carlsbad California. It was great to see him, and again spend time with the family. It was a great trip except for the drive home Gabe and I spent 2 and half hours driving around Dallas trying to find a Sam's club with the computer we liked. We finally find one that had it and drove out of our way over there. Guess what Sam's doesn't take Visa, and our other bank shut off our card; declined the purchase because they thought it was a fraudulent charge because it was outside of Lubbock. I'm all for my banking protection, but we just wanted to buy a computer. So we ended up going to Best Buy the next day. We tried to avoid them because our laptop we got there over a year ago had problems and they did not help us because it was out of warranty even though they were the ones who broke it when they fixed it before. But there is nowhere else in Lubbock that really has a good selection of computers. So we broke down and went to Best Buy. We got a sweet new computer. The HP touchscreen and we made sure we got a 4 year warranty this time. I can finally do all the important things I need to home; like blog, watch TV shows, and stalk my friends on facebook. And maybe Gabe will use it for some good like school work, instead of just reading ESPN. I would like to say Thank You to all the tax payers myself included for the governement grant money we bought our new computer with.

Cake Mania

So I have made 2 cakes so far, The first was pretty much a disaster and I had no idea what I was doing. Then I made one with Fondant for New Years Eve. It also is a little sketchy. It took Gabe and I forever to roll out the Fondant it kept sticking to the counter. But it turned out okay. It tastes okay too but you wouldn't want to eat a bunch of it. Gabe just kind of peeled it off his piece of cake. It says 2009 if you can't tell.

Don't worry it was just Sparkling Cider we were drinking. We had a great New Years with friends. Yeah for 2009!!!

Back to Real Life

Well, Christmas Break is officially over for me. I headed back to work today, luckily I can ease my way in I only had to work half day, because the campus closed early for the Cotton Bowl. But next week it is back to real life. The break has been nice, besides the whole being sick the entire time thing. We had a great time with family and friends. We really enjoyed our relaxing time in Tyler with Gabe's family. We recieved so many great things, I wasn't sure if they all were going to fit into the car (Gabes new Basketball Hoop). That boy is spoiled. I am very grateful for the cake decorating kit that I recieved. I have already made a few cakes, pictures to come later. I really just loved being with family and relaxing and not feeling the every day pressures. It will be nice to get back into a rountine though, and not eat so many sweets and get back to exercising.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! I thought about sending out cute little Christmas cards like my sisters did, but 1. Gabe and I are so good looking we didn't want other people to be jealous (I'm kidding..kind of :)) 2. I was to lazy and never did anything in time. So the 2nd one is more accurate. But we do want to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to everyone. We drove to Dallas last night and then the rest of the way to my in-laws today. Normally it is an okay drive to Gabe's sisters in Dallas it's just five hours. It took us over 6. Right as we were leaving Gabe said he wasn't feeling well. Of course in my wisdom I said lets go home and drive it all the next day. Of course men don't listen and he said he was fine. Just when we were far enough away that turning back didn't make since, we had to pull the car over so Gabe could throw up on the side of the highway. Let me premise with the fact that I had been sick all week so I wasn't feeling up to driving, and driving at night on highways is a fear on mine. So with a sick husband I had to suck up my pounding head and fears and drive the rest of the way stopping at various restaurants and pull offs for Gabe. We finally made it and both had a horrible nights rest keeping each other up with our different aliments. But we made it to Tyler today and we are both feeling better. It is great to be with family. I will miss being with my parents and siblings this year, but it is always a wonderful time here with the Eyerlys. I am lucking to have 2 wonderful families. I'm sure this week will be filled with a lot of fun, food, and video games (for the boys).
I hope everyone gets to all their destinations this Christmas safely! Yay for Christmas and Yay for the True reason we celebrate Christmas; Christ. I am so grateful for the blessings in my life that come from the Savior.
