Well Another year has come and gone..What??? Oh well at least I don't have to make a new "New Years Resolution" list. I will just use the one I had last year ha ha. Today I sat down and made a 31 day menu for the month of Jan then Chad and I went to the store and bought a months worth of groceries including LOTS and LOTS of fruits and veggies. Why? well I'm glad you asked. Chad and I have set a goal to not go out to eat for the whole month of January (you thought I was going to say the whole year didn't ya LOL ha no way!) 30 Days. That is all we're asking right now. this whole month we will eat healthier to try to shed some pounds, and eat at home to try and fatten our checking account. SO sorry to all my friends who I promised lunch dates with. We will have to wait until Feb unless it is your turn to buy which in that case I can order a salad.
This is always a hard challenge for Chad and I. We LOVE to eat out. Mostly because I'm so not good at cooking. however we have done it before so we can do it again. We have a few other goals to accomplish this year that include
losing weight (who doesn't want this one?)
Paying off our last lonely credit card (which is mostly medical bills from my surgery last year)
Finding a medium
and some other little tid bits that (I) just need to be better at period.
So I will wish you all luck with your goals if you will wish us luck. I like encouragement via blog comments, Face Book comments, txt messages, and email. And of course I'm always up for a good phone call =)

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

Did you know that the chopping down of the Christmas tree represents the death of Christ and putting it back up again represents the resurrection of Christ. Did you know that the wreaths we hang are never… ending circles, that represents eternity? Candy canes were made to look like shepherd hooks and the colors red , Jesus' blood, white purity. The gifts, represents the 3 gifts the wise men brought for Jesus. So when you are running around trying to get the "perfect gift", stop yourself, take a deep breath and remember we have been given the perfect gift, Jesus Christ was given to us to remove all of our sins. Happy Birthday Jesus!

Keepin Busy, (with no progress to report)

Here is a perfect example of the "why do I even Bother" Woes. this morning I made Coles bed all pretty and straightend up his room. Then I told Corbyn to go clean off his bed and I would wash his sheets. So Corbyn got to work and took all the blankets off his bed and brought them to me in the laundry room. Well Cole felt left out and did the same thing. I guess he didn't know I JUST washed his sheets the other day. and now making his bed this morning was pointless.
