Bye, Bye Tonsils!

So as many of you know, I am always getting sore throats which turns in to tonsillitis. A little cold can knock me out for a week sometimes more. So as of December 13, I hopefully won't have this problem anymore because they are taking my tonsils out. Hooray! Actually, I'm terrified but I know that it needs to be done. I'm trying to time it just right so I will be able to eat all the good stuff at Christmas because I don't think I will be able to eat solid foods for about two weeks. Wish me luck!

Meehe's Baby Shower

Last weekend I went to my friend Meehe's baby shower and since she is having a boy I felt like I should type in blue. Meehe and I worked together at Robinsons May at the cosmetics counter. She was my counter manager and an awesome one at that. It was fun to see all the girls I used to work with because I had not seen a lot of them for awhile. The baby's name will be Adam Alexander Boersma. So cute!

One of the girls made the cake. It was cute and delicious!

Meehe and Isaac are going to be awesome parents. They are so excited and only have to wait a little longer. Baby Adam will be here on November 30.

Crazy Cousins

So I have been really behind on my posts and I am so sorry. Things have been a little hectic around here lately but I promise I will get better. These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago when everyone was here for Kristen's memorial. I don't know what it is but when all of my cousins get together it can get a little crazy. I think after such a long and emotional day, everyone wanted to let loose a little bit.

I didn't want to post this picture at first because I look hideous but I thought it was hilarious with Josh sticking his tongue out in the background.

Josh was proud of his beer tower

We finally got to break out the drinking chess game. Thanks Dana, the boys had a great time.

Chess is a serious game :)

All in all, it is always fun when we all get together (the next morning is not as fun). Can't wait to see everyone again.

Veteran's Day

Today being Veteran's Day (actually yesterday was officially Veteran's Day but today is the observed holiday) I thought I would honor my veteran. I am so proud of everything Josh accomplished while he was in the Marine Corps. Here are some past pictures of when he was promoted to Sergeant right before he got out.

Josh and I

My dad and I were able to go to Josh's promotion. We are so proud of him and all the other veterans (my dad being one of them). They put themselves in danger for our well being. So today, take the time to say thank you to a veteran.
