A year in review.

The new year began surrounded by the sibs

We went out in CDA and then to Denny's where I probably needed a bib.

I almost fell asleep in my food,

But I woke up in a GREAT mood.

We opened Christmas presents on New Years Day.

I love starting off a new year in this way!

It snowed A TON and it stuck around.

We decided in March we needed to get out of town.

We headed to Moab to ride bikes where the weather was warmer.

We ran into rain, snow and wind, this year was not like the former.

We survived with warm clothes and fire.

We left with good memories although not much drier.

I learned something on that trip, pads are a must,

To keep your body in one shape and prevent it from rust.

I have more scars than ever before,

I have began to be comfortable with the earth's floor.

My dad got sick, my sister got knocked up.

Their expecting a boy, although Saray wants a pup.

We played some ultimate, and won alot

I won three tournaments, thats how hard we fought.

Made some trips to BC where things just seem better,

I love it up there, even if it is wetter.

My bestfriend got married and I was in her wedding.

Rayna and Jon were wed in a beautiful setting.

My John got a phone, and we can reach him.

I am alot happier and not so grim.

It has been a great year full of surprises and fun,

I am excited to spend tonight with friends as this year is done.

I have had a great year and I have spent it with a great man.

Although it may not seem like it all the time, I am his biggest fan.

To John, I want to thank you for all that you do,

I can't WAIT to spend another year with you.

My life is more exciting and fun when you are around.

I love you more as each year goes round.

I hope 2010 brings more adventure for us.

I cant wait to see where this year will go, hopefully without much fuss.

To all of you out there HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope it is filled with love, laughter and BEER!

Eating, Eating, Eating......and more eating.

Well....I know...I have been a lazy blogger. I was going to give an update of what I have been up to since....i know...APRIL. But....if you are on facebook, you have pictures and updates. In CDA it is now fall, turning into winter...it means a few things to me...the days get shorter. I get lazier. I do spend alot of time on the couch between the hours of 4 and bedtime. I am getting fatter. Its true! There once was a time when I could say that I was a standard 125 lbs. (reminder, I am 5 feet tall.) There was little I could do to gain or lose that weight. Lately the number has gone up a bit and the same thing applies, except for the fact that the number goes up VERY easily and does not go down as easily. My vice? Candy and mindless eating. I work out. I am active (between the hours of 7am and 4pm.) however, I am an eater...a BIG EATER. I eat way more than the average person. Its true. Some people conciously eat, I have to conciously NOT eat. If you are in my house, you will notice I dont have snacks. No chips, or crackers, rarely cereal. Why??? Because I will eat it. I have wonderful self control as long as the food is not around. I must surround myself with healthy food in order to NOT mindlessly snack on veggies rather than cookies and CRAP!

Until Sunday....That is the day my brother and law came home with.....CANDY....and gave me some. I have not had candy for some time, and there is a reason for that. I should have said no, but I thought, OK, no biggie. Then I bought candy on Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday, and Saturday....I am trying today for a day without candy. Maybe jumpstart myself again. So....wish me luck as I continue on my journey of not eating CRAP....any advice? please let me know, because I will really need it with the holidays coming up...HELP!!!!
