Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! It's the start of a brand new year that I'm hoping is filled with memorable events and new milestones.
Of course one of my New Years resolutions is to be healthier...blah, blah, blah...not to really lose weight or diet, just to be healthier. I have decided to let my mom take my elliptical exercise machine because I have not used it in so long. (That's really a step in the right direction as far as "healthier" goes, right?) But it helps me along with my second resolution and that is organization.
I have the best intentions when it comes to this resolution, I just have several forces fighting against me in the battle. In fact, there are 4 forces to be exact. I wonder what those would be?
I know that we really need a bigger house. I know that we really need to stay where we're at though because I don't want to pay any more a month for a bigger house. I figure that if we just start reducing all of our crap in the house, it'll appear to be the perfect size house for us.
So far, I've boxed up 3 boxes out of my kitchen cabinets for my co-worker's son who's in the Navy. I've compiled at least 5 HUGE (39 gallon) HEAVY DUTY trash bags of crap from my kitchen, pantry and laundry room. (I'm sure the trash men love me). I've moved onto our playroom and gotten a BUNCH of outgrown toys ready to take to my friend who has a 4 month old baby. I'm doing it slowly because all of the Christmas clean-up has been slowing me down. It's my favorite time of the year, but I'm usually ready to take it down after looking at it for a month and a half.
So far, the new year has just been like any other day around here. I'm back to work full-time tomorrow after using up a lot of "flex-time" over the past few weeks.
We were able to get away for a day and head up to Dallas for a hotel party with some friends. We've always wanted to do this, and since our last 5 or so New Year's have been very uneventful we jumped on the opportunity. It was so nice to get away and also nice to get all dressed up (with NO kids)!
Here's us with our friends........
By the way........I forgot to mention that our New Year's package included all the liquor you could drink. Maybe that will explain a few pictures......Do they look better here...........?
or here????.................
Happy New Year!!

Ha, cute pictures! I can't decide where they look better. :-)
Good luck with your resolutions.
Happy New Year to you Teresa!! I too wish all my family members (including parents, siblings and in-laws) are healthy. You can't put a dollar on that! Looked like you guys had so much fun there.
A night away from the kids is always a nice break. Glad you had fun!
Happy New Year, it looks like you had a great time ... I love the, uh, chest shot!!
I hear you re: the need for a larger house, but stay where you are because you don't want the larger monthly $$. Since we've been reorganizing, I can see things a lot more clearly. It's empowering to feel like I am in control (somewhat, oh - who am I kidding?) and we can stick this out for a little longer. Once the new baby comes ... I honestly don't know what we'll do.
Surely the "answer" will present itself. Right?!
my vote is for the cute little hat topped kiddos! Glad your new years was soooooo fun !
How fun!!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!!
