1.3.2009

We had a brief family get together today. My side hadn't gotten together for Christmas yet, so my parents and brother drove in for a few hours today. I only got to see them for about 2 hours. :-( The weather is turning bad again so they wanted to head for home. My mom brought me a cool present - she found my 4-H Record book from when I was in 4-H - like 1981-1987ish. It was so fun to look at, even though I was not a great record book keeper. There were photos of me in there for a few years and of projects I made for the fair. And I had handwritten notes on the pages with the photos, so that is fun. Might be my favorite Christmas gift ever. :-)

She also made pillowcases for all of us, with cool personalized prints for each one of us, along with a bunch of games and books. Very fun.

Zach got his first "personalized" college mail today. I took a photo for my 365. It was a brochure from Grand View with a letter inside addressed to him about Grand View athletics. I know it's still a form letter, but it was cool to see. He has gotten a few pieces of just "junk mail" from some colleges but this is the first letter with his name on it. He says ISU will be tomorrow - somehow I doubt it.

He also had a wrestling meet today - got 2nd place and went 2 -1. He pinned his first two opponents in the first period of each match and got pinned in his last one in the 2nd period. He wan't feeling too great and he also just doesn't know enough moves yet, but I think he is getting better.
