Another 'Resolution' post for all those who aren't sick of them already...

So I just have to join the crowd and do some New Year's Resolutions. Very rarely do they even get thought of after January, but maybe I'll try harder this year. Who knows!

My resolutions are:

* Come to the realization that people just suck at driving. It's the unfortunate truth. So I will try to be less of a 'road rager' when I get behind the wheel. It's going to be difficult. I struggle with people's stupidity.....

*Do more fun things with Breagan. We haven't really gotten the chance to do stuff just because of the weather and her being so young, but my goal is to go to the park lots this summer and play outside. (Which I will also have to work at because it includes 2 of my least favorite words in the English language: Summer & outside)

*Be more patient. I guess this kind of goes along with the road rage thing.

*Enjoy the moment more. I think that I spend too much time looking ahead to what is going to happen. I want to enjoy every moment that I have with my family as much as I can.

*Go on dates more with Chan. We spend a lot of time at home, so I think that it would be good to get out more.

*Finish reading 'The Lost Symbol'. I mean really, I think I have less than 50 pages left.

I think this is a good start for me. And feel free to give me more suggestions! :)

Christmas with Breag

Well our first Christmas with Breagan was AWESOME! You don't realize what you have been missing out on until you have the special spirit of a child in your home for Christmas.

She was so much fun! (And was happy the whole time even after all the festivities!) Santa Claus found her, and boy did she have a blast looking at all of her things!

Oops, Santa forgot to take one of the tags off! And, of course, our little Breag found it because those are her FAVORITE! :)

This is my favorite picture. She is such a sweet little girl and so much fun to be around. This shows how much I love being a mommy.

She got a 'Ride to Stride Lion' from Nana & Papa (Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Boyd)

And a 'Fur Real Kitty' from Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Jim. It has been mistaken more than once for our REAL cat JoJo, which is extremely creepy!

And Breagan got to hang out with her new cousin Mia!

It was an amazing Christmas! We could not have asked for better. We got to be with family and just enjoy the day with Breag. And I just have to thank Santa. He must read my blog because he did bring me the Sony Camera that I asked for. THANK YOU! Now if I can just figure out how to get the darn thing to work!

My world revolves around.....

This sweet little girl. I have no idea what we did without her. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. She is such a great baby and always keeps us laughing. And as if her smile wasn't enough to melt my heart, she started saying 'ma ma'. It almost puts me into tears everytime I hear her say it. I love her so much. I could never put into words what this precious girl has done to change my life. I love you Breag!

PSA for Today

Due to the graphic nature of this photo, viewer discretion is advised:

This is what happens when you don't take your contacts out. And this is how you end up walking around your house at 12:16 a.m. :

I woke up this morning and my eye felt like it had something in it. I went like that all day long until Chandler and my mom FORCED (yes, they practically had to drag me) me to go to the eye doctor. Let me just say that I am glad they did because I have a corneal ulcer and had it not been taken care of, I could have lost my eye sight. The doctor gave me some antibiotic eye drops and told me that I would be fine in a couple of days because we caught it before it did any permanent damage. I, however, cannot hardly see and my eye has been watering all day and the light just KILLS me. So I have resorted to wearing sunglasses in my house, which is working surprisingly well. :) So this is my friendly PSA for the day: Take out your contacts EVERY night or you'll end up like this!

I already know I'm going to be in trouble....

My mom is a very humble woman and does not like to flaunt the accomplishments that she makes. I, on the other hand, am not humble in any way, shape or form, so I shall flaunt her accomplishments for her! I love you Mom! I just wanted everyone to see your awesome buck! I'm so proud of you and love you so much. You are my best friend and I am so thankful that you are my mom. Thanks for all you do. I love you!

Dear Santa

This is what I want for Christmas:

Just in case you were having a hard time figuring out what to get me.....

Kudos UPS

Not only did my stuff arrive at 4:30 p.m. (a mere 3 hrs. before I usually expect you to arrive) but this box only had MINIMAL damage compared to last time. Kudos to you UPS. Maybe things are looking up.....
