resolutions

My 2011 New Year's Resolutions:
1. Study to take the CCRN exam and pass.
2. Stretch every day
3.  Pay off my student loans.
4. Clean more often, even if it's a tiny apartment.
5. Get Dan a job!

I'm excited to see what the new year brings.  God has blessed us so much and I am excited to see what journey He takes us on next.  I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband and our growing relationship with Jesus and each other.

God bless you all!

Merry Christmas from Cinci!

This year was a first that I did not decorate or really get into the Christmas spirit.  Dan hung up some stockings that were on our shelf just a couple days ago, but that's it.  I enjoyed sending out cards, but it cost about $100 (that's the cheapest I could find).  Due to advancement in technology, I'm thinking about cutting my list for next year and doing more electronic cards.

Last night we did have a couple of friends over and enjoyed dinner, Settlers of Catan, and DDR.  We stayed up till 3am, so that was fun.  Tonight we go to another couple's house.  They have a 3 year old, so that will be fun to get into the Christmas spirit with them.

I hope you are having a lovely Christmas and enjoying time with family and friends.  I am very curious about where we'll be next Christmas, but until then, we will enjoy our Cincinnati 2010 Christmas.

Alicia en el pais de las maravillas: Advent Conspiracy

Last year I posted this:

Alicia en el pais de las maravillas: Advent Conspiracy: "The Advent Conspiracy is an organization that makes you think about Christmas, its true meaning, and how materialistic it has become. Last ..."

I wanted to repost this since Black Friday and Cyber Monday just passed us by. I was thinking about buying charity gift cards for my nieces for Christmas, but Dan says it's not his ideal to force people to give to charity. Maybe he's right.

I will be giving to Living Water this year. They have some amazing photos and videos about providing clean water to countries all around the world. Please think about taking your Christmas money or an hour of your wages and giving it to this organization.
