Thanks for the decorations!

As I drove around the Modesto area this weekend, I noticed alot of people in their front yards putting up their Christmas decorations. I know, not always the best part of the holiday season! But the finished product is certainly appreciated!! I leave for work around 3:30 in the morning and many lights were on and it made my drive and the hour of day so much better! From cute to beautiful, there are so many themes to look at, and I did!! It cracks me up when the blow up Santa is right next to the giant Nativity scene! I have a feeling Kris Kringle may not have been at the birth of Jesus, but that's ok! My sister and her family were decorating their house this weekend as well. My nephew Daniel and niece Caity along with my brother in law were all roped in to getting the stuff out of the attic, bringing it down and setting it up. Alot of work that my nephew pointed out on his day off from high school! He did it with a smile, but you could tell, there were other things he would have rather been doing! And I know, he was not the only man this weekend feeling this way!! I am sure there were plenty of groans and sighs when decorating was brought up. But now it's done and for all your hard work, I seriously thank you. You might not know me, but as I drive through the area, I truly feel the spirit of the season, when I see all the lights and decorations. Thank you, I know you didn't do it for me, but I am benefitting from your hard work!! Your yards are beautiful and I am sure I am not the only person you passsed a little extra holiday spirit along to. From the silly to the sweet, it is definitley beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Happy Thanksgiving!

As I look back to what I was doing last year and this time and where I was, I think what an amazing journey I have had! I have so much to be thankful for. After almost 2 years away from Sunny 102, I came back to some of the friendliest and sweetest listeners in Northern California! I miss some of my new friends I made in Sacramento, but I can honestly say I do not miss the commute!! I admire people that commute to Sacramento or the Bay Area and am in awe that some have been doing it for years! This past year I got engaged to a man that can make me laugh in the darkest of moments, who makes me smile just by being himself, who makes me think beyond the surface and who makes me feel safe in any situation. I am so grateful that I waited for him, he took awhile to show up, but it has been so worth it! I have a beautiful family who love me and friends who put up with me! It doesn't get any better than that! I thank you the listener, I have had the opportunity to meet and remmet many of you since I came back at remotes! All of you are so kind and so sweet, thank you for making my day a bit brighter. I am so grateful to you, to my family, my friends and above all, to God who always listens to me and always loves me no matter how many times I mess up! My fiancee Pete and I wish for you happiness today and throughout the year. Hopefully you can find the joy in the small things, a friends call to say hi, a puppy, a babies laugh, chocolate! It's all there for you to enjoy...do so! Happy Thanksgiving! Open up and say OW!

Before I start, let me just say one thing, even tho I hate, hate, HATE going to the dentist, they are some of the nicest people around! It's truly a love/hate thing. Recently I found out I had to have not one but TWO root canals! I have never had even one in my life. So Tuesday, I had put it off for as long as humanly possible and I went... I had so many people tell me, oh, it's not so bad, there are so many things worse, etc... so I thought, I can do this. My threshhold for pain is probably around a 6. Some things I can handle better than others. So there I was, in the dentists chair ready to get it over with. Tiffany, Dr. Gills assistant was so sweet and so reassuring, everything would be ok. It was.........for about 15 minutes. Than he had to get to the root which had wrapped around the nerve, and well, before going into to much detail, it wasn't pretty! I tried to be brave, tried NOT to cry and apologized for my child like behavior. I felt so bad for the two of them because they felt so bad for me. We finally got thru it together and I just wanted to go home and curl up with Pete! I started thinking about Dr. Gill and Tiffany. They are 2 of the nicest and fun people to chat with. (Before root canal!) Neither one seems at all the type to enjoy hurting people! haa! They genuinely felt bad for me. What makes people want to be dentists? Why would you want to look into peoples mouths all day? Some you know just had onions! I think it truly takes a special type of person to be a dentist and assistant, and an even more special person to feel bad for grown ups who act like babies!! (that would be me!!) I wish I could associate dentists with something good! Shiny, white teeth, the polish they use after a cleaning, free tooth brush....?! Nope, not working!! I will continue to go to the dentist because it's important, I will continue to like Tiffany and Dr. Gill because they are super sweet but I will never, ever look forward to a dentist appointment or my time in the chair!
