New Year Resolutions

So clearly, it's been a long time since I've been here. Here we go. It's January 1st, 2015. This means that here I am, getting ready to make some more New Year Resolutions that will last for the whole month of January and then disappear again until I make them AGAIN next year. It goes around and around like that, every year. So here I am. Let's start blogging again. I don't intend for anyone to read this, necessarily, it's just nice to have some written record for one day... Like a journal... only out there for everyone to see.

We had a pretty low-key New Years. It was nice! Steve and Karen came down and spent the evening here. We told the boys that they could stay up until midnight, knowing that they'd never even come close. We played games, watched some TV, went outside at 8:30 pm to light some sparklers and throw some poppers- all in the freezing (Arizona) cold. It was pretty nippy out there! Right around 35 degrees. Brrr!!

Toby actually made it to 10:30 pm and Morgan to 11:10 or so. I only made it until about 10:30. I was dozing on the couch off an on. Thank goodness Morgan fell asleep- staying up until midnight is no longer for me!!

Today was fun and chill as well. Breakfast at US Egg, shopping at Joann Fabrics, and just hanging out around the house. Both boys are beyond tired, so I'm foreseeing an early bedtime for all, around here tonight!!

I hope 2015 brings about some amazing things for everyone. While my mom's fresh cancer diagnosis was a definite blow, everything is sounding "good" and in place for her. While 2015 will definitely be a trying year on that end, I hope it ends well and can still be considered a "good" year when all is said and done.
