My poor blog has been neglected. I am going to get better at writing more.......I PROMISE!!!
I am just gonna do a quick recap of the things I should of put in here, but didn't! and bear with me on the pics because I cannot figure out how to put them where I want them to be???
Thanksgiving is my favorie holiday and this year was the best by far!! Kreig's parents don't really like to do much for Thanksgiving and my parents live 6 hours away, so it was just the 3 of us(Alix was with her Mom). We mad a simple meal.. Turkey, stuffing, green beans, and mashed potatoes and gravy. The food was great and Charlee loved the turkey. That evening Kelly, Brian, and the Logans came over. Charlee and Logan watched movies, while the adults had a few drinks and just sat around and talked. It was such a great day!
We also had a good Christmas. One of the downsides of my job is that I have to work every other Christmas:( It just makes it hard to get in the Christmas spirit when you know you have to work for 12 1/2 hours on Christmas day. We decided to let Charlee open up her presents on Christmas eve. It was sooo cute, she loved every second of it and was very excited about her gifts. Her obsession is Elmo, so she got ALOT of Elmo stuff! Christmas day rolled around and I got called off for the first 8 hours, so that was a GREAT present! I am already looking forward to next Christmas!
My parents came the Monday after Christmas to stay for a whole week! It took them FOREVER to get here because it was snowing pretty bad the entire way here. I think it took them about 12 hours and it normally takes around 6. We had our Christmas with them and they loved watching Charlee open her presents which were, more Elmo stuff:) Tuesday night as we were sitting down for dinner all of our phones kept ringing, but we were eating so we all kept ignoring the calls. Eventually, when they kept ringing, we thought something was up. My Mom then answered hers and it was Marge( my granpas wife) and she said that my Grandpa had gone to check on my Uncle Phil because he couldn't get a hold of him and when he walked in the house he found him dead on the couch! He was only 45! He did have some health problems, but nobody expected him to die so young. My parents had to leave the next day to make funeral arrangements and we left that weekend for the funeral. It was nice to see all the family, but it just didn't feel the same without Uncle Phil! He was a great guy and we will all miss him dearly.
New years eve we stayed home. Justin and Jeni came over and we made a whole bunch of junk food, had some drinks, and just sat around and talked. Charlee woke up at 11:59 to ring in the new year with everyone. It was a wonderful start to 2010!
My major goal for 2010 is to get back into shape! I have come up with a reward system that is actually really helping me. It is simple...... I created a sheet that has different goal weights on it, and when I get to certain weights there are rewards. Such as; tanning package, new clothes, and hair appointment. It is going great and it makes it much easier to want to work out and eat right when I know I am going to get a reward for all the hard work! This also helps me, because I have a really hard time buying myself stuff. I don't know why? I just feel guilty, like the money could have been spent on something more important. I haven't had my hair done in 1 year and 6 months because of this! That's ridicuolus! I better hurry up and reach that goal SOON!
Off to the gym I go..................
