Birthday Week

It has been busy at our house. There isn't a whole lot to blog about concerning this kind of busyness though. It's all boring normal everyday stuff, but somehow it takes up all of our time. I also don't have the talent that some of my friends with blogs have in making anything written interesting. Some of them can make doing laundry seem interesting on here, but I just don't have it. We get up and get ready and all go our separate ways and then come home, eat dinner, bathtime, and the bedtime for Cade. Todd and I work out, take showers and go to bed....Pretty exciting :)

We have had lots of birthday excitement around here lately. Cade's birthday is January 25th and mine is the 28th. Between our birthday party for him, a party for one of his friends that was born on the same day, a party with his mom and then finally my party, we have had lots of birthday. My brother Matt's is on Friday February 1st also, but he's in Corvallis so my parents are taking his birthday to him. We both had good birthdays. We are both spoiled :) It was fun to spend time with our friends and family while we celebrated the best couple days of the year.

Ok...No XM

We drove ALL the way to Portland yesterday and braved the snow-covered pass. It was pretty nasty most of the way, but we made it. We got to the dealership and left my car there, we got the rental car and headed to Clackamas Town Center. We had been passing time shopping :) only to have the dealership call in the afternoon to say that the parts needed to install the satellite radio (neither Sirius or XM)and we would have to come back when they came in. I also needed my CD player fixed and that should have been covered under warranty...BUT someone previously put coins into the CD player and that is NOT covered under warranty...

Long story short....we got my oil changed and my CD player fixed. They ordered the parts for the satellite radio (parts for BOTH Sirius and XM) and we are going back when the parts are there in their hands.

By the time we got home....we were both too tired to stay up until midnight to celebrate the New Year. Happy New Years...we made it until 10..WOOHOO! Yeah...we're old.

One good thing came out of the trip. I DID thoroughly enjoy my shopping trip in Portland. And I get to go back sometime in the next week :)

I hope everyone's New Year was great and I admire those of you that actually made it to midnight :)
