Dear Diary.....

Happy New Year!!! I rang it in with the fam and TONZ of friends in Montana. We had a big ole' party at my parents house but unfortunately I had to catch a flight back home at 6 am new years day but I was a trooper. :) So far I am a big fan of 2008 and the end of 2007 was fantastic! I headed to the airport on the 22nd only to turn right back around. My flight was cancelled. GRRR! Then again while I was standing there waiting for them to figure out my new flight I heard the rumblings and turned around to see the little mini man Prince and his super tall (not to mention super model-ish) girlfriend being whisked thru security. Oh the life of a rock star...he had his "people" check in for him while he waited in the limo outside. HA! My people had the holiday off!!! lol. SO anyway I caught a cab to Julie's where an "ugly sweater" party was in the works. I was the only one not dressed up but Brian did donate his reindeer antlers to me. Hehe. It was a blast and took away the sting of leaving the next day bright and early. SO I finally made it to Kalispell, MT (with my dad's Nintendo WII in hand) and the celebrations began. Holy food! Christmas eve night we spent at my Uncle Tim and Aunt Nunies house with a little appetizer party. We played games and my cousins opened one of their gifts which was the Xbox game ROCK BAND! Oh my gosh it is so much freakin' fun, I truly believe I am meant to be a drummer now...HA!! Christmas morning was great, opened gifts with mom, dad and April and her new boyfriend Josh then everyone came over for dinner. Good times. Let's see, we spent one night out at the cabin, we had a bonfire by the lake and ate dinner at the lodge then played Monopoly til 4 in the morning. I kicked everyone's butts!!!!! I slept so great with the sound of the crackling fire in living room. The rest of the trip was filled with friends, family and good food. Of course in true Dez like fashion I got a terrible cold by the 3rd day home and had to go to the doc but didn't miss a beat. :) I hope your holiday was a wonderful as mine.

It is nice to be back though. I have just taken a couple days to recooperate. I feel like a million bucks now and am ready for the weekend. :) Tonight I am going with Katie and her mom to a party to celebrate her mom's birthday. Tomorrow, after I am off the air, I am heading to Le Sueur with Julie, Brian, Chrissy and Heidi for Greggers (Julie and Brian's dad) retirement party. Its gonna be quite the shin dig I hear ;)!

Here's to a fabulous 2008!

Thanks so much for listening to me while you work. :)
