HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm joining my fabulous friend Farley for January Currently.

I have a confession to make.....I HATE PARADES. {gasp!} I know. My husband loves parades, especially the Thanksgiving parade in NYC. I cannot stand the extra commentary. It's always so cheesy and overdone. Can't we just watch the parade? Not to mention I was a cheerleader in high school and marched in several parades. No, it's not fun. It's awful. 

The weather in Seattle is fantastic! It's 40 something and sunny! Wooohoooo! We might go for a bike ride this morning before we get set to watch football. We love football! I'm sad that it's almost time for basketball to take over the world. Basketball season is like 350 days long. Too long. This week in Seattle is so wonderful! I even drove to Portland yesterday to see some of my peeps. My 92 year old grandfather is in Austin through the 8th and I would love to have more time with him too. 

I still need a new car. My car is possessed. When I'm driving the volume on the radio (that only works when it's cooler than 75 degrees outside) will suddenly go full blast! IT WON'T STOP! It takes me a good five minutes of looking like a crazy person to finally make it stop.  The AC- grrrrrr. 

I'm at 223, 600 miles. 

I am thankful to have a car that runs. I really am. But C'MON!

And my one little word: beginning.

This is the year of new beginnings:

Begin healthy habits again- hubby and I are committed to losing weight, working out regularly again, and eating healthy. We used to be really good at this. Like 20 pounds ago.

Begin looking for a house.

Begin a family!

Begin every day thankful for all we have- especially for each other!

Can't wait to read what y'all wrote!
