"I never look back darling, it detracts from the Now..."

Nice theme for 2009.  2009!!!  What?! I can and can't believe that 2008 is gone. 2008 marked my 10 year high school reunion  (no I didn't go but I wanted to...) and I'd been home from my mission 5 years ago in 2008.  Now I'm pushing 30- and  it's 2009 already!  Like Edna Mode, I'm not one for looking back, well, not looking back for long at least.  I love making goals and starting new years;  accomplishing new things and becoming a deeper person (hopefully).   But this year it's coming a little slower.  I have my list of goals almost ready to write down in my journal and bind myself to for the next year.  But I'm a little bit hesitant to actually do it... what are some of your goals?  Anything fun or interesting?  I really wanted to do the women's AF triathalon this year, but I got online and it is all sold out! I couldn't believe it, it's not until May! Forget that!  I guess I"ll just sit on my rump all year and get huge...  

I hope everyone had a very nice Christmas, we certainly did.  Adam got me a wheat grinder which I am so excited to try out!!  (I just got back from the grocery store where I bought 25 lbs of Hard Red Winter Wheat!!  To say I'm excited is an understatement... am I a nerd?  Yes.)  I did a little better than last year's Christmas present to Adam (a tie) and got him ski stuff and a pass to his favorite slopes.  Madeline got a baby doll and stroller which she is in LOVE with.  

So... Happy New Year!!  Here's to not looking back!

Diana!! I have great news for you-- IT'S NOT SOLD OUT!!! It just barely opened up yesterday at noon, and I had gone to the website just to check it out on Jan. 1st and they still showed it as "sold out" from last year's information. BUT, I got an email from active.com saying it just opened up and sure enough, they are open for business! I may go up to UT to do that tri, so it would be so fun to see you there.

also, i'm chuckling at our uber-similar posts from yesterday, are we the same person?! good luck with the goals for 2009!

SO I wrote down marathon for my goals this year, but I think I may have jumped the gun on that one. I'm a little nervous. We'll see. I would also like to learn how to make bread...maybe you can teach me! Can't wait to see you soon. Missed you at CHristmas!

I love Edna Mode! I have tons of goals this year. You don't want to know them. Oh, and Allen now grinds wheat all the time (on his month home) and does bread in the bread maker. It's cool. Have fun using it.
