Christmas season

It has been awhile since I updated. There really isn't anything new here.

We got done painting our hallway walls and that was not a simple task, we have discovered that putting the first coat on a light, but dark color is harder then doing the second coat which is ten times easier it took us just two hours to finish the second coat. Next we will be painting the bedrooms. Our bedroom is going to be a purple and my guest room which will be primarily for my sister will be green on three walls and then chalk board paint on the big wall. She loves to draw so that's why we will be painting it in chalk board paint.

Ski and I have been married for 3 years now it doesn't seem that long ago we got married. We didn't do much for our anniversary my sister came over, Ski and I worked all day so by the time we got home we were so tired we didn't want to do anything but sleep. This Christmas shipping season was crazy by the end. Ski got 11hrs overtime cause he wouldn't get out of work til 30 min to an hour after we closed.

For Christmas Eve Ski and I invited my family and two of my friends over for Christmas Eve dinner I made, my grandma A's green chili and my grandma Sue's Potato Corn soup. Each was a hit and all gone by end of dinner. For desert I made a raspberry ribbon pie which we didn't eat until Christmas dinner, we just forgot about it.
For Christmas Ski and I opened our gifts from each other then took the gifts for my family down to my parents house and opened the rest there. For dinner my momma made ham, her home made cream corn (which I love so much), Scalloped potatoes, and Sweet potatoes. For the desserts we had, my raspberry ribbon pie, pumpkin pie and apple pie.

No One Ever Said

No one ever said
By Veronika Maez

No body ever said that tragedy,
Is sometimes what we need.
To get through the day,
Closer to the ones we need,
The ones we love,
And the only ones who really matter to us .

No body ever said that tragedy,
Can sometimes make a person better,
Or stop family fighting,
Or just make you stop and think,
Think about the ones you still have,
The ones you lost,
And the ones who need you as much as you need them.

No body ever said that happiness,
Might come after you lost the one you loved.
For losing the one you loved may bring you closer to the ones you lost.



My sister wrote this poem shortly after my uncle passed away, and just found it. I think its an amazing poem.
