New Years

Oh boy, New Years made me feel like a kid again. For the first time in our married lives, we actually stayed out and partied past midnight, without the chitlens!! Thanks to Chuck and Susan who entertained our boys all night long. We started the night with Valkyrie, the movie, with a group of friends. Great movie, very depressing ending. Luckily we went straight to dinner afterwards with the Lee's and got our minds off of it quick. We went to Outback and had a very leisurely stay, thanks to out pokey waiter. Then we went to a little party and played a game and toasted at midnight with some Martinelli's. It felt great to be a teenager again!

The kids sure didn't suffer. Chuck, Susan, and Cede took them to see Desperaux, to dinner at In N Out, and then they played games until midnight when they went outside to watch their neighbor's fireworks show & bang on pots and pans. Grandpa said it was the best New Year's he's had in years. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!(Aunt Cede and Brayden in their unintentionally matching shirts, Brayden was less than thrilled.)

I just got done reading my step sister Jaime's blog about how we all make resolutions for our spouses, I have to say majorly GUILTY to that one! My number one goal(s) for my honey is to quit drinking soda and to be NEATER. I often give him a hard time because our bedroom is so clean minus his side of the bed, his nightstand, his side of the dresser, bathroom, and closet!! And I am so stubborn, that I just clean "my side" and leave his for him to do. Sometimes I even make just my side of the bed, how awesome am I? haha. After 8 years of working on him, I don't think much has changed in that area. He is doing really good with the no soda though, and anyone that knows Jer, knows how much he loves his Coke. He's gone 2 full days without it, that's HUGE for him! Now that I think of it, he didn't make any resolutions for me, see, he's too nice. I think I'll ask him to make me some, its only fair ;)

I do make them for myself though. I am committing to hitting the gym 3x a week...yoga once a week is all I've been doing for a while now. I suck at cardio in a big way. The other day I had to stop & slow it waaaay down after less than 5 minutes, pathetic! I just don't think my body is designed for it, could that be possible? ;) I wish. Also committing to finishing my Blurb book in the next month for all of 2008, reading my scriptures more often and more thoroughly, putting more into my calling, and more into FHE. Oh, after almost 8 years of teaching the 13 year olds Sunday School, Jer and I finally got released and put into the Sunbeams, with Kosty as one of our students. I'm excited for a new change, but will miss Relief Society. I think I am most excited about the adorable three year olds, who couldn't love em, and that we are switching from one degree of immaturity to another. Three year olds are allowed to be immature though. We have such a cute class. I think that's it for now, Happy 2009 everyone!!
