Sleepy Saturday

My dad has a family bible that was left to him from his mom. It really meant a lot to my dad because it was something that his mom and him would read, just the two of them. We ended up getting it a few years after she died, we've had it now for over 15 years! When we got it, it was falling apart. The bible has sat in a paper bag, in the closet for almost 10 years. It really was in such bad condition, no one wanted to look at it because of the fear of destroying it. For Christmas my mom said we should restore it for my dad. So I looked into it and found a guy in the city who does that kind of work. It was hella expensive but we did it. My mom and I picked it up today and I just got done looking through it. Check out the pictures at the bottom. The bible is mostly in black and white but it does have some color pictures. My favorite part is the births and deaths section (it's the next page after the second picture, below.) It was updated until the 1970's most of all the writing is in my grandmothers beautiful handwriting.

It's not the fact it's a bible that impresses me, it's the fact that it has been in my family for over 100 years. Also, I am so much like my grandmother. She was so creative, she painted, made ceramics... I could have learned so much from her. It's not fair that she died when I was just 3 years old, I didn't get to know her but life's not fair, I know that.

I can't wait for my dad to get home from work to see it!

It looks like I am going snowboarding tomorrow!!! I am sooo excited. No offense Jeremy, I am extra excited because Dani and Will are going! I always have a lot of fun when we get together with them, they add extra awesomeness to the adventure! I know I am going to take a ba-zillion pictures and I will for sure add them to my snapfish (yeah, I started using snapfish...) eh, it kinda sucks.

I got a lot of shit yesterday at the gym. Bob the GM and a horrible Steelers fan, gave me shit all day (don't worry I dished it out too) but so did the members! I wore my Ray Lewis jersey (PROUDLY) because I love my team! No, they didn't go to the Superbowl or win the division but I love them win or lose! Also, I have started to hate the Cowboys. Before I had respect for them because they were Jerms team, unless they played my boys, it wasn't a problem. It has become a problem for 2 reasons. 1. That bitch ass Jerry Jones requested the Ravens as the team to play in the last game in Texas Stadium. Why do you say? Well Jerry Jones thought his Cowboys could for sure win against the Ravens. Well obviously he was wrong! Maybe he should have requested to play the Lions. 2. It is RUMORED they will offer MY BELOVED Ray Lewis 25 million to play for the Cowboys. (Dearest Ray, Please don't leave Baltimore, Love Erin)

My momma made Cinnabon Cinnamon Streussel Cake and it is done and smells amazingggg, time to sneak a piece. :)
