So, it's been a while since I have updated my blog. It's not that I haven't thought about it; I have. It's just, the times that I did think about doing it, there was no way of doing it.
Wow, this sounds like a some adolescent make up-break up, doesn't it? Hmmmm. Let's try this again.
So, I haven't updated my blog since July. There are some definite reasons for that. August brought some of my, not our, highest highs as well as some of our lowest lows. By the time I finally felt up to blogging again, school started. Needless to say, I ran out of "free time" for a while. October came around, and I thought about blogging again. Then we experienced another one of those high/low situations on Halloween, one of my favorite holidays of all days. November came around, and I was able to escape from reality to the Wisconsin Dells for my dad's birthday. It was pretty much awesome! November also brought Pat's birthday; it was nice to get together with some of our favorite friends and have some fun. The holiday season came in and kept me busy, too. It also brought my favorite Christmas present ever. Pat called me at about 12:30 on my lunch break on Dec. 12th and told me that we were flying to Vegas that night until Monday. We were getting picked up at 6pm. If you know me, you know that I'm not so great at the spur-of-the-moment stuff; I'm pretty much a plan-a-holic. Well, I was able to get a sub and sub plans created. I also was able to pack in less than an hour in a carry on, no doubt. Those 3 nights in Vegas were exactly what I needed. It also created some of my favorite memories with my husband so far (and that's saying a lot since we've been together for over 11 years). And that brings us to January of 1020, a new year, which we brought in with some amazing friends. I can't think of a better way to welcome the unknown.
My resolutions for the new year are pretty simple. I'm hoping to learn how to finger-whistle; you know, that whistle that can pretty much stop a room. I'm also hoping to continue working out at least three times a week (but hopefully more like 4 or 5). I'm hoping to keep up the healthy weight loss. And I'm also hoping to have more highs than lows, if you know what I mean :).
