What else can I say??

Crazy~~ What else can I say? I haven't posted for a few weeks, but this is what has happened... I had auditors at work starting on the 5th and that is always crazy~enough said... Then that same week our cat that we have had for 17 years broke his hip and on Wednesday the 7th we had to put him to sleep. I went with my mom and my sister, it was probably one of the hardest things I have to do... I will NEVER forget watching his head go down after them putting the needle in his little arm. So this post is dedicated to my Moonbeam, who is now in heaven... I miss you so much! It has been a little rough... School started Monday the 12th & it is going to be a busy semester as well~ Some of my classes seem to be pretty good & others seem like they are going to be crazy... I finished my grandpa's book and video for his 80th birthday party that should be fun...Well I hope everyone else is doing well~ I will post again soon...

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great New Year! I just hung out with a couple of my great friends & went to bed early (1:30-that's early for me). Christmas was great-- we had a lot of fun with everyone who came over. McKayla was soo cute I got her the noisest toy ever...it is a princess CD player portable that plays the songs on a loud volume & doesn't turn down. It is great!! A couple of weeks before Christmas I broke down and bought a Wii- along with the Wii Fit. I wanted to be able to work out on the crazy days- even if it only means 20-30 minutes on the wii aerobics---which by the way is a great workout. I also have guitar hero-so it was a lot of fun to play the games with the family on Christmas. Yesterday I went to the gym & boy did it feel good to finally get to run for a while! I know some people hate working out, but I love it & when I have time I really love to stay for a couple of hours!! Yesterday I was only at the gym for almost an hour- but in 35 minutes I ran 3 miles! I have done better but since I havn't been for a while I am working back up to my running a mile in less than 10 minutes! It is one of my goals this year not just to loose weight, but to get healthy--I need to eat breakfast! I get in a hurry and go to school at 5am and then I don't pack anything for the entire day so when I get home at 10pm it is too late to eat but I am starving so I am really hoping to do better this year and pack things to go for the entire day! So anyways school starts in a week---I am dreading going back although it means only 2 semesters to go after it's over! YEAH!--Then it's the CPA exams & I am DONE! The quote I am going to focus on for the year is "Life isn't measured by the number of breaths that you take, but by the moments that take your breathe away." I know everyone has heard that, but I have had so many close encounters with my life last year that I just have to live life to the fullest and enjoy every moment I have, because you never know when it could be cut short. I also challenge anyone who has not seen The Ultimate Gift- you need to watch it- It is on DVD, but it is one of my favorite shows & it teaches you to appreciate life & help people along the way! Sorry this is so long, but here are my New Years Goals for 2009---
GOALS FOR 2009
1- Get healthy--Start eating and getting exercise in at least 4-5 times a week!
2- Be Positive- Enough of the negative--Life is too short to be miserable!
3- Get good Grades- I am going to work my butt off to ensure this comes true!
4-Complete my Projects- I have a bunch of projects for the new year I want to get done!
5- Blog more- I didn't do very good last year, but I am going to do better this year!
These are the five I am going to focus on for the year! I am also going to take more pictures! Here is one of McKaylas pages that I finished! I think it turned out cute! I will blog again soon!
