It's raining, it's pouring..

Well, it has been raining here in Los Angeles for nearly 4 days straight now. I worked all day on Monday, and it was dark enough outside to be 8 o clock at night the whole day. but I LOVE THE RAIN! What I do NOT love, is dumb Californians in the rain. It barely sprinkles outside, and people slow down to 45 on the freeway, headlights on, hands at 10 and 2, and are CONSTANTLY slamming on their brakes. What in the world would people do if it ever snowed here? I think everyone would most likely go into hiding. Which would be wonderful! I don't know if they are worried about the rain drops denting their precious Bentleys or what, but it might be the most annoying thing in the world. Therefore, no leaving the house for me today. Can't handle it. I miss how Sugar Land would get 3-5 inches of rain in 2 hours, and it was exciting. School would close and kids would go outside to play in the gutters for the rest of the afternoon. Probably not the most sanitary thing to do, but we made the most of it. There's another reason why Texas/any other state is better than California :) Okay I'm done venting. 2 more days of this seems pretty do-able. 

Another low point--Daniel has been really sick for the past few days. I didn't go to work yesterday cause I had to take him to the doctor..he's kinda starting to feel better which is good. The doctor wasn't much help at all, but we figure if we had to pay a billion dollars for his schools health insurance, we might as well take advantage of it. After a few hours of laying there and waiting for strep test results, the doctor asked if he needed a pass back to class. Weird much? In college? Interesting. "Uhh..no thanks..don't think thats necessary". I would love to meet a professor that calls roll for all 88 students in each of the 4 lectures a day during dental school. Anyway, he's kinda feeling better today. Went to school anyway and I haven't heard from him yet, so that's a good sign! He lost 5 pounds yesterday. In one day. Ummm can I get sick for 24 hours and lose 5 pounds? Please?

I thought I would post some pictures of Christmas break. 

We went to the beach when we got back. Going from snow to this..not too shabby.
Of course we had to go and see the lights. It was freezing!!

Proof that we DID go to the hospital the day she was born! Sean and Alexa have no pictures of us with little Hattie! So much fun. We love all of our nieces and nephews (Daniels side...who knows when my side will get any boys)
Oh hey look its my best friend! Katie came as you diligent readers know, and we went sledding. :)
Kaylee loved her princess dresses. She also loves to make weird faces. We miss her.
Heres my whole family, I love them. We didn't get any pictures of Daniels whole family this year :(

We're looking forward to a 2 week break during the summer!! All is well. Hope everyone is having a great new year!
