I'll Take Back What I've Been Saying For Quite Some Time

I feel dirty, it's been almost two weeks since I have posted on here. Everytime I thought about it and would look at my laptop I would remember how I also need to edit a bunch of photos and post them. And I haven't had the energy for that. I have tons of pictures of the snow, and some pictures from when our power went out on the 21st because of the ice breaking tree branches. Yeah, fun times.

My Holiday plans this year were not as I had planned, but that can be blamed on the weather. We didn't go to Portland on Christmas Eve, but instead went on Saturday. It was fun. We got a couple of really nice gifts from my in laws and from Auntie Carol. The roads were just still way too icy on Christmas Eve, and weren't a whole heck of a lot better Christmas Day so we had to skip dinner at my Grandma's. Hopefully I will be going to see my family on New Years Day. Within a matter of two days all the ice and snow just disappeared now it's back to good old wet, green and brown Oregon.

So, on Christmas Day Collin and I just did nothing. We did go to the movies. I broke down and went to see Twilight, and it was good. I am very proud that they kept it as close to the book as they could, given the style the book was written in. I am even happier to say that since seeing the movie my wonderful, amazing, extraordinary hubby has decided to start reading the books. (part of this is also due to the fact that I won't tell him what happens next, I told him to wait for the movies or to read the books and I will discuss them as he goes.) Now I just need the next movie to be done.

With 2009 fastly approaching, instead of creating pain in the ass resolutions I have decided to make some goals for the new year. Some of the goals are to get in contact with the friends that I keep losing touch with, and maintain contact with them (I just seem to lose track of people); another goal is to grow my hair out another inch or two and then donate it to Locks of Love, an awesome charity that makes wigs for children with medical conditions that result in hair loss; pay back my in laws for the money they loaned us to buy the Blazer; and learn to make a bunch of new recipes. I also want to try some new things in 2009. Renee and I also want to "collect" toys and stuff throughout the year to donate to charity when the holidays roll around again.

Well, I need to get to work now. I hope to actually edit and post all those photos in the next couple days... We'll see. Au revoir!
