I love silhouettes! I created silouettes of myself and Tyler and finally printed them and bought frames for them. Now I have to convince Tyler I want to put it on the wall above our bed.

Now I’ve found our dream home! (I think) I am in love with this house. I think we may buy a house sooner than we thought since it’s the best time to buy a house for first time buyers. The location is not too bad but it is kind of “away” from our friends and closer to my parents’ house.

Have a wonderful New Years! Be safe!!

I predict 2009 will be a good year especially with my resolutions.

• Lose weight
• Buy a house
• Babies?
• Save money!!

My dad came over after work to pick up my crockpot since my mom wants to borrow it.

Dad: Are you coming over on Thursday for the party?

Me: Maybe, and I have a secret.

Dad: You’re pregnant?!?! *excited look*

Me: Nooo!!  My secret is that I hid some Christmas cookies and I forgot to bring them home.

Dad: Where are they?

Me: Not telling you, you’ll eat them all!

Dad said he’d tell mom when he got home that I have a BIG secret to reveal on Thursday and she’s probably going to have a heart attack. He thinks this is all too funny, and mom apparently doesn’t! She told Tyler she’d buy him condoms if she had to.

I’m excited because I was browsing online at houses for sale in Phoenix and found a lot within our price range especially this one in the photo. We’re starting to talk about buying a house and we really want to this summer since I start making more money Jan 1st. We’re looking at houses with 3-4 bedrooms so we can have our in-laws and guests stay with us… and of course for our future children!

This is our dream and we’re going to make it happen!

This recent weekend we went to Flagstaff (2 hours north of Phoenix) with Jason & Kim. It was nice to get out of Phoenix for a while. I sure forgot what it feels like to be in the freezing cold weather. I do NOT miss Rochester, NY but this was a nice getaway knowing I can always just drive 2 hours south and be in warm Phoenix again.

When we arrived, we had to clear the driveway and it was not easy. It was exhausting and we did enough for just the car to get through and out. Saturday morning we hit the slopes and I read in the lodge while Tyler, Jason & Kim went up. Only we didn’t know we’d be stuck in the traffic for 4 hours to get down to the bottom of the mountain.

We went to a Thai restaurant then played The Mexican Train Game. We’re now back in Phoenix and Tyler’s sick and has been sleeping since before I got home from work.

I’ve become a bookworm lately with the series of Twilight and now Amy keeps getting me hooked to other books now that I actually need to make a “list”.
