Christmas Names

Ok, so it was pointed out that I dropped the ball over vacation as I totally forgot that we need to draw Christmas names. Mom & Chris & Leslie came up with an idea. I will post all the names of the family members. Each family will choose a number for each member of the family to buy for. Please post the numbers of your choosing. Once a number has been chosen it is no longer available to choose. I have a master list that has a name associated with a number. After you have chosen your numbers, I will tell you which names you have for Christmas. We will need numbers 1 - 33. Here's the list of all family members: Grandma, Grandpa, Sherry, Dale, Chris S, Tony, David M, Carolyn, Susan, David E, Leslie, Eric H, Laurie, Bryan, Nikki, Eric S, Monica, Julie, Jon, Emilee, Patrick, Sammy, Kimber, Ben, Ashlee, Tyler, Hannah, Jessica, Rocky, Sara, Chris L, Mackenzie & Brady. Please let me know if you see anyone who I may have accidentally forgotten or if you have questions as to how this will work. To give everyone time to check the blog, please wait to post your number until Monday, Sept 22nd.

In other news... I think I'm finally done traveling for a while. I don't think I was home more than 5 days total in August. Boy does that ware a person out. Sassy was way mad at me, but had a good time staying with Mom & Dad. Mom & Dad were up over this weekend. We had a good time shopping, but boy was it cold. Happy belated B-day's to Jessie & Monica. Happy early b-day to Leslie, Kenzie, David M & Benj. Going back to Tae Kwon Do next month & hope to test for my high green belt. Headed to KC for the Nascar race in 2 weeks. I'm taking Brady, Bryan & Nikki. It's Nikki & Brady's first Nascar race. I know Brady's extremely excited & hope Nikki is too. In zoo news, we start working on our expansion this spring. We will be going from 23acres to 103 acres in the next 7 years. I'm very excited about some of the animals that will be coming in soon that I get to work with. Anway, not much is new around work. Big whigs coming in this week for budget talks. Let me know if anyone has questions!

Love you all!
