January 2010


Long time no blog! I'm beginning to see a pattern here. =)

January was a month filled with mini adventures and the usual day-to-day life. I spent two weeks subbing, one week sick as a dog, and the last week of the month getting over a neck injury I obtained from coughing so much (and am still recovering from). Needless to say I am looking forward to getting back into my normal work and gym routine since I haven't been able to do that in two weeks!

Here are some more exciting events of the month:

We spent New Years with Erin, Carl, and Carl's family at the bowling alley. I have always enjoyed bowling and it was nice to have plans for New Years for once.

Reflecting on 2009!

It is hard to believe that this year is coming to an end. I honestly feel like it just started! However, I do feel like I have grown quite a lot in this year. Many things have happened this year, some I would rather forget but everything happens fora reason and we grow from it. This year I:



Subbed in Kindergarten through 8th grade classes
Discovered that I had skin cancer
Filed taxes as a married couple =)
Started my 100 list! (Which has proven to be very fun!)
Celebrated 10 years together with my husband
Gained new friends
Lost old friends
Discovered and fell in love with Zumba
Joined a new gym
Became obsessed with Twilight
Saw many amazing plays with my mom and sister (more to come in 2010!)
Starting cooking a lot more
Adopted my two kitties, Mia and Shelby
Shot a gun for the first time
Became a fourth of a century old
Went to Vegas and it wasn't as fun as I remembered it from four years ago
Welcomed many new babies into the world
Bought a new (used) truck
Spent the holidays with my family


It has really been a good year and I am very blessed. I am excited to see what 2010 will hold.


Have a safe and happy new year and I hope you are blessed in 2010!

A Holly Jolly Christmas

My favorite time of the year has come and then went in a flash! It is amazing how much time we spend preparing for that day and then it comes and goes so suddenly. Here are a few pictures from our Christmas.

Happiest Family on Earth

It seems to be a new tradition for my family to go to Disneyland every year around Christmas time. I absolutely love it! Disneyland is like our family time. We used to go every month and I thought it was the best. It was my opportunity to spend time together as a family which, let's face it, is hard these days.

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree!

We gave mom and dad bunny ears. Dad didn't think it was funny, but we thought it was HILARIOUS!
