~First post of the New Year...2009~

Happy New Years!!!

This will be a semi-random post.

On Tuesday I went to Yosemite with Jeff's family. I've never been to Yosemite before, so I'm really excited that all my memories will include Jeff. It was super cold and covered in snow. We had so much fun! We had snowball fights, made snow angels, had more snowball fights and took so many pictures!! I got soaking wet (my fault for rolling around in the snow, lol.) I left my house at 7:30am and I didn't get home until 11:00pm. It was an amazing day!

Yesterday was New Years eve...duh. My mom, sisters and I cleaned and cooked all day. We made a million snacks and candies for our late night. The Kee family came over (Kevin and RoseAnn Kee) and everyone had a blast! We ate food and fellowshiped all evening.

Today we all slept in until 11am. Jeff is leaving for Detour today, so he came over at noon to eat lunch with me and say our "goodbye's." I was woken up this morning by my mom's perky: "Goodmorning merry sunshine!" song. I groaned. Lol, the day after Christmas is the best day of the year (because all we do is eat leftovers and relax) and New Years day is the worst day of the year. Why? Because it does something strange to our mothers. Somehow, overnight they completely change. Tell me, are your mom's like this? New Years eve they are completely normal, and in the morning they are completely different. Their new favorite word is: "Simplify. And suddenly the only thing on their mind is: "It's a new year!! woo hoo! Let's clean our rooms, go through our drawers and closets, go on a diet, run a mile, copy the bible!!" It's so...exausting. Usually I don't like New Years...but this year, I'm actually excited. I laid in bed last night before I fell asleep thinking..."It's a new year!! Yay!! Tomorrow I'm going to empty all the candy out of my dresser drawers (I admit, my drawers are FULL of candy), go through my clothes, clean my room...start jogging, do my devotions..." I'm really excited to get started.

Jeff and my New Years Resoluntions are:

A) we are going on a diet and are going to be in perfect shape by the time of the wedding.

B) we want to do daily devos and start praying as a couple more.

What are your new years resolutions? Post your answer in a comment form.


A few days ago, my flat iron broke on me (it fell apart...litterally.) So yesterday, I went out and bought a new one. This thing is SO high powered!! It heats up so hot! Shelbie and my aunt ran an errand yesterday. While they were gone, I straightened my hair. They got home while I was still working on it, and as they walked through the door, they both exclaimed: "What is burning!!" From the bathroom I called, "My hair!!" Needless to say, I'm getting a hair cut hopefully tomorrrow.

This afternoon my mom and two sisters and I all made tamales. It took forever, but they will be so yummy when we eat them tonight!

Ok, this is all I can think of to write. I am not in a blogging mood right now, which explains the lame, pictureless post. I am off to dress in black and mourn the absense of my sweetie. Lol, I am kidding. I am going to go start emptying the candy out of my dressers. Happy New Years!
