Jeremy's not so bad after all...

This blog is going to seem strange and random, and frankly it is strange and random, but here it is. (I will also be relentlessly harassed about this I am sure) Oh well...

The picture above is of my sister and her husband Jeremy. If you know me and Jeremy, you might be aware that we were not big fans of each other when he and my sister started dating, or even when they got married. Over the years, I have come to appreciate Jeremy more and to even like him. Why do I bring this up today you ask? I'll tell you...

Today as I grabbed the spices to put in my spaghetti sauce, I grabbed basil to put in. I thought to myself, "wow, basil is a really good spice-I love it and I use it on pretty much everything these days." Then I thought "Actually it's pretty weird that I use it at all as I never used it before in my life until Jeremy gave me a recipe that called for it." Then I thought, "Wow, Jeremy's not so bad after all-he totally introduced me to my new favorite spice-nice."

Now, that made me think of the other great things about Jeremy, and here are a few I thought of:
1-I LOVE his Portuguese chicken recipe. And actually, whenever he has cooked for us, it's been awesome.
2-I am so glad that every time I misplace my copy of that recipe, he willingly sends me a new copy.
3-He really is a great husband to my sister and dad to his kids, and I'm glad cause that's my family he's in charge of caring for.

So, Jeremy, no matter what my dad says, we don't think you are on probation anymore-you can stick around. So, I'll just take this opportunity to welcome you to the family officially. :)

Now that you have all had an inside peek into my thinking process, are you afraid? I think I am a little bit...

Happy January Birthdays!! (and a few December)

Today, on my little sister's 27th birthday (man is she old-and boring, just ask her son!!) I thought I would send out a shout out to all the many many January birthday's in my family. I hope I haven't missed any, but very well could have. Sorry! But Happy Birthday to all of you January babies!


Brooke, my cousin. 19 on Jan 1st (Yes, a New Years baby)Andrea, my sister, the BORING 27 year old today (Jan 8).
Papou (That's grandpa in Greek) in turning 86 tomorrow, Jan 9th.
My mom will be 51 on the 10th (will she hate that I put her age? Maybe...)
My Grandma Shirley's birthday is on Jan 13th. I have no clue how old she is...




Coach Jeremy,my brother-in-law (Andrea's husband) will be thirtysomething (32?) on Jan 16th. I should also note that my cousin JoJo's birthday is this same day and he is Andrea's boring old age of 27.
Action Jaxon, my nephew will be 6 on Jan 20th. Holy crap he is old! Happy birthday Jaxon!
I just thought I should note that my aunt Cathy was diagnosed with brain cancer about 9 months or so ago, and told she would live about 3 months. However, On Christmas Eve, 2007 we were blessed to be able to celebrate her 50th birthday with her!! I though that was worth a mention especially since I missed the birthdays while I was in Utah...
Ashley, Wes's sister had a birthday December 19th and I'm thinking she turned 23?

One other birthday I missed in December was Grandma Nelson who turned even younger on December 29th. We were lucky enough to spend that evening visiting with her before we had to return to Spokane.
