Happy New Year!

Now that it is 2009 what resolutions did you guys make? Me?? None-You can't improve on perfection ;)' . Lisa did tell me about a program that is called Couch to 5K in 9 weeks and I have started that. You start out walking more than you jog and eventually end up jogging 20 out of the 25 minute work out. I am on my first week and I can see how this program can encourage you to continue rather than trying to do to much too fast and dropping out. I take Roxy with me and when we get back we both collapse me on the couch her on her bed. What a pair.

Christmas Eve was spent at Mom & Dad's with Steve, Rick, Madison, Lisa, Sam, Crista, Jared, Cheryl and Robert. We had a blast. The "Kids" took responsibility for the meal and it was delicious. We had chicken, ham, pretzel salad (yuck) green beans, mashed potatoes and Madison's favorite dinner rolls. Dinner was followed by a gift exchange with the cost of the gift not exceeding $5.00. There were some pretty interesting gifts. Jared made out the best. He got a remote controlled truck...I know what you are thinking how can that be only $5.00. Mom's thrifty shopping that's how. Dad ended up with "autographed" photos of Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. Tooo funny.

I spent New Years Eve at my neighbors the Barrett's. We always have a good time. This year we played Wii for hours as well as ate and drank to our hearts desire. It is always good when you don't have to drive anywhere just walk across a lawn and your home.

Hope everyone had a safe New Year. Talk to you soon.
