It's New Years Eve

Enjoy your New Years eve celebrations

2009 Resolutions

I know it's about time but this year's resolutions have been very difficult to come up with. So here they are...right off the presses of my mind :)

** Make time daily to read the Bible. Some days are busier than others and I get busy, but now I commit to read the Bible each day.

** Live a happy and healthy lifestyle. Understand that there needs to be a few sweet treats in life and that fun may overrule exercise sometimes. BUT at the end of the day...be happy!

** I thought about this one for a while and decided on: Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, 3-5 days a week.

** Before committing to anything BIG, evaluate life and all that is going on before committing. Then say "yes or no" to whatever needs an answer.
****************************************************
So above are my resolutions...goals for 2009. I know it took forever, but I actually had to think about these more than the previous' years.

Hope you and your family are having a wonderful weekend. I still think that the weekend needs to be longer and that there needs to be more hours in the days...sometimes.

Have a great evening!!!!

More snow than Texas will ever see

So if you did not know, because I never told you, I went to Boston from December 27th-31st for a conference. Then I got stranded and did not leave until 9pm that night because my first plane got cancelled then it snowed a foot where I was in Boston, MA. I absolutely adored the snow day and looked liked a tourist while taking all sorts of pictures. To answer your question if I still love the snow...yes I do! I still want to live up North one day too.

Here are a few picts of the snow amount that Texas can't even touch!

Hope you all had a great New Year's day!!! My resolutions are still in the making, so when I have them all set, I will post them. Hope you enjoy the pictures. The only one that I fixed was the first picture. Everything else is natural and untouched. Texas will never see this much snow at one time.

Happy New Year

Hope all of you enjoyed your New Year's Eve and are enjoying your first day of the New Year! I absolutely enjoyed my first night home...in my own bed...and no one interrupted me till 1PM today. That is 10 hours of sleep in a ROW...it's the little things that count :)

Promise pictures will be up soon :)

Happy New Year's day!!!!

Updates

I AM HOME...unpacked...cleaned up...heading to bed...no one better dare wake me before 10AM. Pictures of my trip will be up later today or tomorrow!
*****************************************************
Baby Stellan is off Oxygen and his stats are up right now. Please keep him in your prayers as he continues to fight RSV.
*****************************************************
Baby Kayleigh is fighting hard in the hospital. Please continue to pray for her as she fights for her life!
*****************************************************
Baby Ethan is a sweet 11 month old with JMML, a rare childhood cancer. He has had this since he was 11 weeks old. Please pray that Ethan kicks this cancer.
*****************************************************
Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve and is now tucked in bed! I think I will take my own advice and drift off into wonderland. Since I have been up for 20+ hours, I think it is time.

Happy New Years!!!!

Wordful Wednesday

My sister, C, was on the edge of her seat on December 31st, 2007, patiently waiting for 2008 to arrive. See the excitement in her face? I can not believe another year has almost past and a new one is about to begin. Where does time go? This picture was chosen to remember how we like to sometimes wait on the edge of our seats for the next event that will happen...well the next event is New Years' Eve/Day and it will be an exciting one.

** Update: Because I have something else to say, here it goes...So much for wanting to go to bed early. I just got a call saying that my flight has been cancelled and so my new one will not leave till 8pm...oh well...at least I can view a little more before having to leave :)

Wordful Wednesday is hosted by Seven Clown Circus...click on the button to see more Wordful Wednesdays!

Happy New Year everyone

Middle of the week post

This morning something unusual occurred, I woke up at 6am. Yes I needed to use the restroom, but the funny thing was I could not go back to sleep. I just laid in my bed thinking about what I had to do today and also updated my cell phone calender. I set alarms and everything. When my roommate's' alarm went off this morning, I was so ready to roll. Made the bed, had a banana, then checked email. I was so ready to roll.

Had breakfast at 8ish, then went to class. Then it hit me about 9:30. I started to get really tired. So I have to attribute this to not getting enough sleep last night. I am really trying to get at least 8 hours of sleep, but stuff happens and sometimes I do not. SO oh well!!!

Anything new going on? Well not really. I am back into my groove and loving being on my own. I can not believe that I have about 6 weeks left of this semester. I go home on May 8th, then start a local college course on the 9th-crazy I know.

My brother's troop master for the whole troop was killed in a car accident on 3-22-08. I ask you to pray for the family, who have two sons. This is a very difficult time and I can not imagine loosing one of my parents right now.

On the upside, I am very happy right now. Yes there is lots to do, but for some reason I am in an awesome mood!!

Have a wonderful week!

Update

Sorry my fellow bloggers, I have been in bed for what seems to be eternity, but only 6 days battling a sinus infection, ear infection, fever, nausea, and a massive headache. What a way to spend my Christmas vacation. But while being sick is no fun, I got to catch up on the movies I have yet to see. Some of the movies include:
* Dreamer
* Flicka
* Music and Lyrics
* Underclassmen
* Jump In
* Deck the Halls

There were also some movies on that I have seen, but got to watch a few times as well, such as:
* Christmas with the Kranks
* RV
* National Lampoon's Holiday
* The Christmas Story
* Drumline

Then there were some TV shows that I got to watch over and over when I could either not sleep or just felt crummy, such as:
* George Lopez
* Home Improvement
* Fresh Prince of Bellaire
* ER
* Grey's Anatomy

I know, I know, it seems that all I did was watch TV, but when one feels like a truck has run over them, it is all that one can do. Oh yes, I also drank lots of water, OJ, tea, and took LOTS of Tylenol.

I did not expect to be sick over break, but at least I was not at school.
My mom stayed home with me this weekend as the rest of the family went on a hunting trip (I do not hunt), but my little brother got his first deer, a nine point, and my sister got one as well. I finally think that my 12 year old brother is finally getting into the hunting spirit.

So as far as Christmas was concerned, it was great. I got gift cards, a family tea set from my Nonni (mom's mom), a Vera Bradley purse (Grandma), a Visa gift card (uncle and aunt), a massage (gift card), coffee maker for dorm, and a few other gifts. I was really impressed and it seemed that my family loved all the gifts that they received. It was a very happy Christmas this year and I am so glad that I have my family there along side me.

As for New Years plans-my sister is having some people over and I am probably going to babysit. We have family coming into town for New Years as well and it shall be fun!!!

So to all of my fellow bloggers: HAPPY NEW YEARS to you!!!
