Happy New Year!!!

hi all! I hope everyone had a fantastic new year's! Mine was pretty uneventful but still fun. Not much to report. First of all, hockey is boring when the damn refs won't let the players fight. And second, we are getting old, so despite friends being out and going crazy, I am still tired from a few weekends ago, so Steph and I stayed in. but hey it's now 2005 and I'm still alive so all is well with the world. I seriously don't know where the time goes! It's crazy to think how much the world can change in just one year (that drags while it's going on!) and how weird life can be sometimes when you really think about it.

Well, it's that time of my year, so I'm going to be totally cliche for a minute and do the whole reflection and resolution thing! (yeah, so deal!) :)

Sooo... this past year.... wow what a crazy one!
The beginning of the year is just kind of weird to look back on. There were so many changes going on in my life in general between work and relationships and just settling into the Beach and being me and all. Sometimes I look back at that time and wonder who I was or whose life I was living because it just seems so out of place. But, at the same time, I learned so much about myself and who I am, who I want to be, and the things I need to expect from myself and others in my life. Luckily, though, I got through the winter and spring with little damage, I still had a job (whew!), and I had the whole summer to live it up! And man, I did. I went on some fantastic trips, had some ridiculously memorable nights with the gang in vabeach, and really just got to spend some great time with some great friends, both old and new. And after the craziness, life had to die down a little bit, so the last part of the year was entirely comfortable. In the fall I feel like I finally really settled into my life down here and found out kind of where I fit in and what kind of life I want to live. I know all of that is so general, but the past year has had so much in it, I can't even imagine even trying to go over it in detail! This was definitely one of the more eventful years of my life.

Okay now resolutions. I am not making many this year... I mean, of course there's the universal eat better and work out more one. But really, these days I am at the gym at least 4 days a week so I am okay there. Now to get all the work food days and ordering out away from my system. Otherwise, I resolve to always be positive, I resolve not to let the little things get to me, and I resolve to learn how to go with the flow rather than trying to make everything in my life happen. Then again, I kind of like my ambition... but maybe there's something to be said for fate and destiny. I haven't decided yet. Anyway, post your resolutions if you get a chance, ok?

In other news, I found an name for my iPod (thanks, Steph!) woohoo!!! it's new name is Eugene. Get it? EUgene my Ipod! hahahahaha! And yes, I accept that I am completely off my rocker, but luckily you all love me anyway :) Speaking of you all loving me, we have a new blog reader (or at least someone visiting Texas), so everyone say hi to our Fort Worth guest! hehehe. And Fort Worth, say hello if you get a chance and tell us how you got here, ok? :Þ

So, I am off for now. It's our usual church and brunch tomorrow. But tomorrow's church choice in the great church search was made more off of the interim pastor's pictures than anything else, so this could be lots of fun!!! hmm.... And he's the interim pastor so that's okay, right? Plus, he's still in seminary! He may not be completely set on being a pastor already!

Yes, don't worry, I already know I'm going straight to hell!!! hehehe. ok gnight all :)
