Blog Update

I'm still taking a blog break, honestly didn't think it would last this long. We've been really busy since the beginning of the year, one of our dogs has been really sick and we're both swamped with work(a good problem to have these days). Also, I discovered Facebook and the Twilight series so those are keeping me busy too. Hope everyone is doing well.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We had a great evening in on New Year's Eve. I'm looking forward to all that 2009 has in store. The New Year I believe gives us a fresh start and hope for a better year. Happy New Year!

Consult not your fears but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what is still possible for you to do. -- Pope John XXIII

Happy Holidays!

I didn't get around to posting before Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed spending time with our family. We spent Christmas Eve at my parent's house. It was a great evening, we ate great food and opened our gifts. My parent's friends even stopped by with a surprise...Santa! My niece and nephew were beyond amazed Santa made a stop at Grammy/Grandpa's house. Christmas Day we spent the afternoon at my Sister and Brother-in-law's house enjoying more great food. Hope you enjoyed this joyous season!

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for:

A wonderful time attending my niece's Christmas program...two-year-olds singing Christmas songs is just too precious.

Lunch today with one of my college girlfriends...so much fun to catch up.

Our dog's health, yesterday a certain chocolate Lab thought it was okay to lick the powdered Tide detergent while I was loading the washer. * No worries dog lovers she is fine and healthy....and now clean inside and out.

Holiday Gift Ideas

Just thought I'd share a few holiday gift ideas that are both inexpensive and yet thoughtful. My husband is very big on celebrating the holiday and not making it a material/commercial holiday. It's taken a few years, but I am now to the point that it's not about the perfect gift but about the wonderful moments with family and friends celebrating this special holiday season. Below are just a few of our holiday gift ideas.

Donations to Charity- this is such a wonderful gift idea and with the economy many charities are struggling. This year we are donating money in our parent's name to their favorite charities. Jeff and I are also doing the same for each other, he did this last year for me and it was by far my most treasured gift.

Holiday CD's - go on to iTunes and create your own play list of Christmas music, burn to CD's and you've got a great gift. I plan to make some for my co-workers.

Baked goodies - this is always a great gift, no matter if it's cookies, fudge or mixed nuts.

Homemade ornaments- I've never done this, however, have been on the receiving end and they make a wonderful gift.

Happy Holidays!
