Happy New Year!

It's crazy to think that it's 2013!  Jarrod and I were watching an HGTV show recently and the house was built in '96 and was so so so outdated.  He made a comment about '96 not being that long ago, and I had to remind him that it was almost 20 years ago!  1996 was when we started dating....that was a loooong time ago. :)

We celebrated the New Year in style....and by style I mean in our pajamas and by ordering pizza.  It was perfect.  We were planning to go out to dinner with friends, or maybe to a friend's house, but it was a nasty, cold rainy day and we opted to skip taking the kids out and just stay home.  We let Gavin stay up 'late' (9pm!) and we had a little 'toast' at 9 before he went to bed....us with our wine glasses, him with water in a small fancy shot glass!  Haha...  We watched last year's Times Square countdown on YouTube and toasted the year.  It was adorable.

Jarrod and I talked about resolutions.  He actually wanted to make one, which I don't recall him doing before.  He decided he wants to spend more time outdoors, exploring our area with Gavin and as a family.  I loved that!  Over the past year, I've enjoyed crossing things off my '30 Things' list, so I decided to make mine more of a weekly list.  Each week, I want to make sure I spend a little time focusing on photography and sewing {two things I want to become better at}, our budget/finances {a big long term goal for our family}, and doing something with Jarrod that doesn't involve watching TV after the kids are in bed or during naps {playing cards, cooking together, playing Wii, etc.}  I added those things to my weekly checklist so I can try to stay on top of them.  I'm also starting the Biggest Loser again to keep myself accountable.  I did well before and came in 2nd place, but I've gained back about half of what I lost last year since Megan's wedding because I slacked off on my calorie counting and exercising.  Time to get back on track!  

I have a huge training this weekend for my team that I'm spending all my time right now working on, but next week will be catch-up week on the blog! More December pictures and videos coming soon.  :)
