Santa Claus is coming to town!!!

I so can't wait til Christmas gets here...I got such good gifts for everyone this year! I really can't wait to spend Christmas morning with my family and then dinner with AJ's...I'm sure the day will start with Brandon calling me at about 6am to tell me that Santa has already been to his house, and he can't wait to open the rest of his presents so we need to hurry. Then it's off to Jersey for me and AJ. I love goin to Nesta's house especially around Christmas because as soon as you open the door you are greated by the smells of freshly baked Christmas cookies and before you can take it all in Brandon and Katie come running towards you dying to know what you bought for them. I love it!!! Then after my mom, Meg, Heath, and Kurt get their wake up calls from Brandon we all sit down to a nice breakfast and talk about how we can't believe that this year is over already....usually my mom preaches to us about something...probably politics this time...or how much weight she's been losing or something that none of us want to hear about so damn early in the morning...then that's followed by the exchange of gifts by the adults which isn't quite what I remembered as a child, I think it looses it's luster once you get to a certain age. Then it's off to AJ's house to give his family the wonderful gifts that we have picked out for them, and I can't wait to see the look on JD's eyes when he sees that we got him the football jersey he was asking for...so it looks like it's gonna be a great end to a great year....and so many things to look forward to in the new year!!!!

Please pray that I get the Wii that I asked for...maybe I should have written a letter to Santa!

I am thankful for!!!

What a great Thanksgiving...Well,it all started Wednesday night when the power went out at my friend Brenda's apartment and since she's totally freaked out by being alone in the dark I went over to comfort her. It started off with her offering me A drink, and that turned into a night of drinking and fun! Then, the next day it was off to Chez DuBrink for some Thanksgiving snacks, and some quality time with the fam! Then me and AJ had Thanksgiving dinner with his best friend Bob and his family, which involved alot more drinking! Finally, I had to get up extremely early on Black Friday to get some shopping done...So it turned out to be a great time. I got to spend time with my family, meet Bob's wonderful family, and get some shopping done. It all made me realize how truly thankful I am to have such a wonderful family and friends to spend the holidays with. So here is what I'm truly thankful for:

AJ- being supportive of everything I do
Heath- her wisdom and being like my mom through all the hard times
Nesta- for loving me uncoditionally and always accepting me
Meggie- for sticking by my side no matter what
Mommy- for coming back into my life, I've missed you soo much!
Brandon&Katie- for making me the proudest Aunt Ever!!!
AMSG- for being the best friends a girl could ever ask for...I love you girls!

So enjoy your family and friends as the holidays come around and be thankful for such wonderful people in your life, cause I am truly blessed for the wonderful people in mine!!!

Busy Busy Weekend!!!

Me and AJ are looking forward to a couple of days off from work, but it's still gonna be a LONG weekend...starting with Thanksgiving...1st stop is at Chez DuBrink for some quality time with my family....followed by some quality time with AJ's family...then on Saturday me and AJ are off to JD's championship football game!!! So it's a jam packed couple of days....Hopefully, I can fit some drinkin dates with the girls in there!!!! Love you all and hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Woodbury vs. Paulsboro!

Ok so the game didn't exactly go as I would have hoped it would...but it was close 14-13 Paulsboro. But, I did get to spend time with Brittany and DeJean(my godson) which was nice since I hardly get to see her. Not to mention, AJ finally got to see WHS play football and meet Brittany. Nesta and Brandon were there, and Brandon has become my favorite person to watch football with!!! He gets so excited!!! Not only did Brandon enjoy the game, but he made a new friend DeJean and he got to meet his favorite player #5 James Bundy who came and shook his hand after that game. Brandon thought it was great, it was like he was meeting an NFL player...I loved it!!! Well, even though Woodbury didn't win it was a great day with some of my favorites!

Go Thundering Herd

This week has been a great week so far. It started by going back to Woodbury to watch the Thundering Herd play a little football, followed by me applying to be the cheerleading coach at my alma mater WHS, and finally seeing my family get so excited about football once again. We have been away for some time, but we're back!!!! This weekend at 1pm at Paulsboro, Woodbury has an oppurtunity to do something that hasn't been done since I was a sophomore in high school and that is to beat some P-boro a**!!!! So I hope to see you all there wearing your throw back WHS jerseys and your blue and gold!!!

Back to my Roots!!!

Ok so it all started this past weekend when my big sister Anne and my nephew Brandon convinced me that I had to come with them to a WHS football game. Ok now I must admit that I was a little hesistant because the last time I was at a WHS football game it was not in the stands but standing on the track in my cheerleading uniform. I'm so glad that Anne and Brandon convinced me to go!!! The feelings I felt when I entered that stadium were undescribable. Watching Brandon jump up and down as Woodbury scored a touchdown and watching Katie dance to the songs that the band played made me so proud to say that I was once a part of that, and how desperately I was dying to be apart of that once again. It also didn't help that after watching the performance by the cheerleaders I felt embarrassed for them. All of the things that Anne, myself, and Esther had put into that cheerleading program had completely gone down the drain. So I decided that something needed to be done! I got some balls and wrote the athletic director at WHS a letter about me being the cheerleading coach at Woodbury. Cheering at WHS were some of the best times in my life. I remember decorating the halls at WHS and the boys lockers and the appreciation that they showed us was incredible. I felt so proud to wear that uniform( the uniforms that my family busted their asses to get me). Woodbury cheerleading used to be about school spirit and pride, something that it serious lacking now. So who better for the job than someone like me, who grew up in the football program and whose dream it is to coach that squad. So now I anxiously wait for a response, and hope that the athletic director gives me that chance. I know it sounds corny but it has been my dream since graduating from Woodbury to return and be the cheerleading coach at WHS, and I've had some great coaches(Marge Sebest) to show me how....so wish me luck!!!!
