Yesterday our 44th president was sworn into office. I did not vote for him and I was also not a huge supporter of our 43rd president. But regardless, I had respect for the position. I find it so sad that people were booing 43 out of office and had such a lack of consideration and respect for the man who ran our country (which is a wonderful country to live in) for 8 years. These men have a very hard job and we should act more like adults instead of whiny children. So I ask that you keep yourself in check no matter what side of the road you walk on. Because we all live here and have to live here together. That is all.

I haven't gotten around to posting pictures from Christmas. I haven't been posting as much as I would like in general. But mostly because I don't feel like playing on a computer when I get home from work. I just want to do something that doesn't involve thinking or typing. 🙂 But I am going to work on catching up on some of the things I have been meaning to post.

I have been doing a horrible job of taking pictures, so there aren't a ton of pictures. I am including a link to the Christmas gallery that has all the pictures I took.

When we were in Iowa, I went to the zoo with one of Chuck's cousins. We had a great time and both took a ton of pictures. 🙂 There are a couple pictures of her in that gallery, too.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and I hope 2009 is off to a wonderful start for you! 🙂

This is what happens to me when I read in bed. I was sitting upright at one point and apparently toppled over. Chuck came home from hockey to find me like this and kindly took pictures for me! 🙂

Today is Chuck's birthday! We had a fun-filled and busy day. We rang in the new year with some great friends and then sang Chuck “Happy Birthday” immediately after. Which was then followed by cupcakes! We had gone snow tubing with said friends and had a blast! We had never been before, and I think we will surely go again!

after sleeping in, we got a call from Chuck's sister asking if we wanted to play raquetball. Me? Not so much. I was sore from tubing. But Chuck was definitely game! I played a little with them and then went to sit in the hot tub and sooth my muscles!

If that weren't enough fun for the day, we had a broomball practice this afternoon. We played for a couple hours (and I admit, I actually had fun) and then Chuck and I went to dinner. (Diets start tomorrow for the new year!)

It was a great day, but now my bed is calling my name…”you're getting sleeeeepy. Veeerrrryyy Sleeeeeepy!”

Today is the final day of 2008. This was a good year! I am a little sad to see it go. But I know there are a lot of new exciting adventures ahead. I wish everyone a safe and happy New Year's Eve! See you in 2009!
