I’m hoping for an Apple Watch. Im hoping for a great deal on the 3rd gen but DS2 would be fine with whatever.

I’m stumped for gift ideas too. DS2 has asked for an Apple Watch so that’s definitely a BF thing. Other than that, I’m looking for inspiration.

I was in Colorado last week too. Went from Colorado Springs to Denver to Vail. Saw a show at Red Rocks. It was a great trip.

What a crazy month it’s been! My Christmas lists got bigger...using DNA , I found my biological parents! My bio mom has passed away but I have 2 half-sisters from her and my biological father is still alive. He didn’t know I even existed so we have been getting to know each other. I have 1 half-sister from him. So long story short...I started 2018 as an orphaned only child and now I have a father again along with 3 sisters, a step mom, 2 nieces, a nephew and aunts, uncles and cousins!

DD finished her master’s, DS1 started his summer job today in Mackinaw and DS2 got to stay on at his student job in the Soo until the budget runs out...its my 1st summer without any kids! Unfortunately, that means I have to travel to them if I want to see them. Boo. Sent from my iPad using GottaDEAL
