To the new year 2009!

Wow, 2009 is here and sooner than that is is going to be past in in history to soon! Really, and I sit here and think of what have I accomplished in the year 2008? Hmm, well lets see...
1- Matt and I purchased our home. I guess that is a great achievement to have under our belts. Now lets just see what comes out of our now home? We have a lot of renovating to do to the house. Every wall has to be taken off and sanded down and all of the ugly horrible painted cabinets and trimming in the entire house will come down. The counter tops and linoleum floor squares will go in the garbage. I am so excited for all the new things to come to our home this next year. We still can't phantom the thought that we are already in a house with money saved and paying all our bills and having a good life where family is all close and living great lives. Good times.
2-I guess you could say getting hired on to UPS Freight permanently was somewhat of an accomplishment. I wont go into that. I got a turkey for Christmas from my Boss. That was really awesome I thought, and thoughtful. And raises are coming and that is something to look forward to. it only comes once a year. At least it comes...
3- I really cant think of anything else. Well I guess We had a great time traveling and Camping out under the stars. Going out to the sand dunes and going geode hunting and come back with an even more rare crystal..wonder where i put those?
4- I finally got my entire family out to the Ranch in Idaho and Bonnie made her home cooking for them. I had always wanted to share with my family the wonderful life that My Husbands family also provided. Matt and I got to show them thousand spring and the Hagerman valley. The clear springs with the sturgeons in the ponds. Those man eating rainbow trout..Ben and I both had our fingers chomped at by huge fish! Cut the skin open. No one else would do it. I guess it was pretty stupid. but who knew they would actually bit and drew blood?
5- We got our own little Black Lab..we always talked about it but there was always another dog somewhere else that needed a home..until we pawned that dog of to my sister and could get our own. perfect excuse to buy for Matt's birthday!
6- Matt got a pretty good size deer this year...but I guess that's not my accomplishment for this past year.
7- I became a great snowboarder last year. I was able to speed my way through the trees and really enjoyed the whole run. I guess not great but pretty good. ;) Ben said he would take us next Thursday. i am going to hold it to him! I really and dying to go hit the slopes...and even better we get in free at the place I love to go the most. Brighton. ( I haven't been anywhere else in Utah to compare, LOL...just so you know)
8- Became debt free ..except purchasing the house...lol
9- I cant think of anything else.

I really want to become healthy and live a healthier lifestyle. I want to really become dependant on myself and not other things in life. Like I really love coffee. I really just need to kick the habit. MMM I love my chocolate truffle Starbucks coffee. Well I need to go to the doctors at a hospital or somewhere other than where I have been going. I have a lump on my throat I am going to the doctors on Monday to get check. it has been flaring up and irritating. I had gone into a doctor previously to get it looked at and they said it was nothing & I was imagining the problem..they said caused by stress..which it probably is and me worrying about the irritating throbbing lump on my throat makes it Even worse. I told the doctor to really make sure i didn't have throat cancer or anything with Me smoking cigarettes in the past and living the unhealthy lifestyle I have been living.
I want to be sure 100% and i feel I do have something wrong with my throat. I don't want to hear the truth of my horrible mistakes I have made have caused on me and what it will cause on my future...and others future. But it all comes down to Matt and I wanting to have our own family here soon and me worrying with this lump on my throat..I just want to be health and have no difficulties with having a healthy baby with out any complications with whatever is wrong with my throat. I just want to get the doctors apt over with! anyway.
That my friends is babbling gone on for to long.. Obviously Matt is not here to give me my 30 min time limit on the computer! It is nice to finally write what I have been thinking for a little while. Even though I share with Matt. Writing it down feels so much better. Maybe I sh0uld take up writing in a journal this year. Sounds great...I'll write that down.
Well I am signing up to take a jewelry making class/yoga and a health class to help start off my new year with a good start to finding hobbies I really enjoy.
