Well, it's day three ...

and I'm already running out of things to take pictures of.

I swear, I was going to take all these adorable pictures today of my doxie Link playing with his best friend Jeff. Jeff is a neighbor of mine from when we lived at our old apartment. Unfortunately, I got lazy ... and Jeff wasn't feeling well ... so we decided to rain check that meeting. Luckily, I didn't tell Link about it. He would have started whining about it ... and would probably chew up another book of mine.

Oh waitttt ... He already did chew up a book of mine, while I wasn't paying him attention because I was in the bathtub. See, I don't think that raising a child is going to be that hard after raising a doxie. He seems like he's probably a little more needy than a child.

I mean, I'm already used to all of the animals filing into the bathroom while I take my bath. See, no privacy ... check!

Luckily, for Christmas ... my amazing husband got me the greatest gift in the world: The Kindle!



Now, if Link tries to chew THIS book ... it'll break his teeth! Win for me!

Resolutions

It's that time again!

Resolutions for this year are as follows:

Lose 50 lbs (which shouldn't be difficult since 40 of that is Baby weight)
Stop cussing (Must be a good Momma!)
Stop Procrastinating and MAKE things happen
Take more pictures!

So, I've decided that I'm going to try and keep up with the picture taking on the blog. I'll post a new picture every day! Minus the days that I'll be in the hospital with the baby ... when I come back after that I'm sure I'll have TONS of pictures to post .... so it should even itself out.

So, I leave you with a cute one! Liam says HELLO AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Merry Christmas

I hope that everyone had an amazing Christmas filled with joy, peace, and celebrating the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ.

Ours was wonderful even if we celebrated a few days early. We got to see a lot of family. I got to spend a whole night with my little nephew, Kaleb. He is just the best baby! I love him so much!

I've eaten myself sick nearly every day. January 1st marks the beginning of the "diet" again. Bleh bleh bleh.

Although this is a great and wonderful time of year .. I can only wonder what this new year will bring for us. How many dear friends will we lose this year? How many people will give birth and celebrate life? What job will I get this year? Will we buy a house finally? Will we get pregnant?

2009 has so many possibilities. So what will happen? What do you think will happen in the new year?

What are your resolutions?

Mine ...

- No Cussing
- No Drinking (even wine!) after Feb. 1
- Lose weight (really this year ... really)

Shhh

I know that I'm guilty of this as well ... therefore, as a new years resolution in May, I'm going to try to stop.

Stop what? Stop the Gossip!

I think that as a twenty-three, nearly twenty-four year old, I think that it's time to move on from the petty gossip.

It's starting to be a big turn off when I get together with a group of people and all that they (we) can do is talk about other people.

It's not even worth it. It's not very Christian like, and so I've decided to try not to do it anymore.

It's going to be hard, it's going to be really hard in fact, but hopefully it can be something that I can mature with and grow out of.

What about everyone else? Want to jump on the bandwagon with me?

Resolutions

Alright, Alright. New Years Resolution time. I said that I wasn't going to make any of these ... but then after reading Amanda's blog about hers ... I figured that I mine as well.

This way I can keep track of them and might actually keep them!

1) Make a healthy change in my life style: This means that I need to start watching my portion sizes, eating healthier, and trying to exercise when I can. I don't want to say "Exercise everyday" because I know that's not going to happen.

2) Really focus on school this year: I always say that I'm going to do this every semester ... but there is really no reason why I shouldn't be able to. I need to just put other priorities into play and make sure that I keep the grades up ... now is the time that I need to have good grades so that I can get into the Education program and all that jazz.

3) Try not to cuss: I think that I should start working on this now ... because I don't want to be cussing up a storm when I have a baby. I also need to watch certain things that I say, especially since there will be new babies in our families future ... I don't want to corrupt them!

4) Read as many books as possible: I'm going to try to put up the 52 books in 52 weeks thing again ... but I'm not going to get stressed out about it like I did in 2006 (where I read 60) I'd love to be able to read 80 in 08 but I don't think that it's going to happen. We'll see.

These are all that I can think of right now ... maybe I'll add some more later. We'll see! Have a great 2008 every one!!!
