Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the "historic" inauguration for Barak Obama. Means many things to many people. Hopefully he won't concentrate on the controversial ethical items like FOCA and focus on getting the economy jump started instead. Between that and Iraq, he should have enough to keep busy for a long time.

I think much of the country is holding its breath just waiting for tomorrow to finish without tragedy. At least that's the feeling here.

The kids & I had a great weekend while Daddy was working. We spent some quality time at the library, did a complete lap walking around the mall (who knew how much fun you could have for several hours at the mall for just $5?!?!), played our favorite Mario Kart, and had a pizza party. Sunday we did church and WalMart for a couple hours. Who knew 2 kids could have so much fun running around a store! Of course they were the rock stars of the morning there. That's pretty much how it goes wherever we go!

Anyways, Mondays are always hard but this one was better because the kids went to our babysitters while Mommy stayed home and did some massive picking up and cleaning at home. Happy MLK day! :)

Tomorrow is back to work! ugh!

Happy New Year!

Well, 2008 has come and gone. Can't say that I'm sad to say that, as 2008 was a hard year for me personally - both work & personal. Here's hoping that 2009 will be healthier & less stressful!

Daddy & I got to go out for a bit to celebrate the New Year. We met up with a few other couples for a few hours and just hung out together and enjoyed adult company!

2009 has already started off with a bang. I am transitioning from one job to another and will essentially be doing both for the month of January. Busy, busy. Also this past weekend, we celebrated R's actual birthday with chocolate cake & ice cream. Both of the kids were in heaven!

This Wednesday, we will start our first gymnastics class. Hopefully they both will enjoy it! We'll see where that takes us.
