OK, I promise we will get our computer fixed, however now we have had our internet shut off because we couldn't use it anyway... but I promise it's coming.
We have been really busy lately!! I am almost to the end of planning our Christmas Party at work, and have been putting together all the charitable activities for it. We have set up our own Angel Wreaths at work with tags of children who have a parent serving overseas in the UT National Guard and will not have a lot for Christmas. We volunteered to take over 13 families, about 40 kids and it has been amazing how much everyone has been willing to pitch in. I had to start doubling tags up with two people in order to accommodate everyone who wants to help out. We are also doing 80 food baskets and 100 soldier stockings as well and it has been so much work trying to get it all together in time, but so much fun as well!!
Career Step, where I work, also broke record numbers in September and to reward the employees the owner sent everyone to Disneyland!!! It was so much fun!! I had only been once and it was so fun to come back! It was for only one day, but I was able to go see Christian and Naomi while I was there (bug them for not posting our pictures yet!!!)... Oh, and Rob couldn't come because it was for employees only :(
So this has been the month of large expensive things to break... if you remember earlier back, the pictures of me boiling water and pouring it into the washing machine because our hot water heater broke down... it went out again and we had to replace it. That's $700 we'll never get back. We also had both cars break down and their registration expired, our vacuum broke, and the handle on our shower broke too (that one isn't so big or expensive, but really annoying!!) ... Needless to say, it may still be a month or so before we can get our computer fixed and our internet set-up.

Oh Kjerstin...soudns like life is throwing you a curveball. Glad to hear that Disneyland went well. I am impressed with how much charitable things your office doing, that is GREAT! Wish I could have come down for the wedding, but when mom and Dad(Fred and Gwen) couldn't make it anymore, neither could I:(.
Sorry about your broken stuff. Jamee, Ellie and I will be back in town for the holidays, I could probably fix your computer for you (it is what I did for a living before law school after all). Good luck with the rest of your stuff.
Sounds like a little sprinkle of bad luck. But you got some good too, Disneyland is my favorite. I wish I knew I would have met you since I can't convince Kyle to go with me. Hope everything gets going a little better. We will be excited for the computer to get fixed so we can be updated on your life.
How are you guys? Sounds like life is keeping you busy. Don't you love that? When it rains it pours, right?
