Holiday Update!

Since my parents' internet is painstakingly slow, I was not able to update while I was at home. So here is another list of highs and lows of the holiday season.
Highs
  • Getting to spend some quality time with my entire family, espcially my nephew Max. He was so much fun and already has a fun personality.
  • My parents' new dog Abby is awesome! She is definitely a puppy and has a ton of energy. She likes to bite and chew things up, but is very sweet. I had fun playing with her and teaching her some new tricks.
  • New Year's fireworks! In what has become a Chapman family tradition, the fireworks spectacular was awesome. I don't mean to brag, but I'm getting pretty good at fireworks shows.
  • Goign to see "Rocky Balboa" with my brothers. Not so much for the quality of the movie (although it was better than I thought it was), but for the fun times with my brothers.
  • Getting to visit my grandma, and her looking so much better than she did last Christmas. Even though she still gets confused and I'm not sure if she knew who I was, she looked great.
  • Going to a Houston Aero's game with my dad, older brother and Max. He loved it and it was so fun to see him at his first hockey game.

Lows

  • Catching a stomach virus that put me in bed for two days and keeping me from eating pizza at Chuck-E-Cheese.
  • Having to visit my Uncle in the hospital.
  • Everyone in my family catching the illness bug, putting a damper on the last few days.
  • Realizing that it will be a while until the whole family is back together.
  • Being around the family constantly for almost two weeks. I guess I am spoiled living alone, but I enjoy my "Jason time."

So that is all for now. I hope you all had a great Holiday season.
