This is actually Terry's present TJ is opening. Terry just gave up after a little bit.I just like this one!
For our present, my parents took our family on a vaction to Disneyworld!! It was very exciting. I have decided I found where I want to live. I LOVED Florida. I know I will never get to live there, but a girl can dream. We had a blast. The only part that wasnt great was that it got COLD. Not just wimpy cold, but 1 or 2 degrees celsius cold. Not fun!! Oh well, we all survived and had a great time doing it!
TJ loved giving EVERYONE kisses!! If he couldn't get to them, he would blow them kisses!His first mouse ear hat!

As you probably know, I LOVE the Muppets, so I was thrilled to go to the Muppet 3D Theater and find this GREAT fountain!! And no, I am not wearing the poncho because of the fountain. This was the day it started getting cold and it poured rain. I was soaked because Jessica and I went looking for ponchos for all of us. Yet I still put the poncho on afterwards, hmmm.....We went on a backlot tour at Disney MGM (soon to be Disney Hollywood) on one of the days when it was cold. We we all bundled up. But it was SO worth it because I got to see the COSTUME SHOP!! I told James that someday I will work there. Wishful thinking again, but I can't help it!
We spent New Year's Eve in Disneyworld, then headed to our hotel and went swimming. It was lots of fun. And now, here we are, more than a week into the new year. This year is going to be a big one for me. One way or another, things are not going to be the same this time next year. I have decided that I am not making resolutions this year. Rather, I am hosting a revolution. I have let myself dissapper over the past few years and I am going to find me again. I am making several drastic changes in virtually every aspect of my life. I won't bore you with all the details, but I will tell you some of the major points. I am doing this mainly so I can have someone to report to who keep me accountable. So, here goes...
Revolution #1 my health
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I have changed the way and what I eat as well as increased my exercise time. The doctors think they have finally pinpointed why my body won't let me lose weight, so I am now on a special diet to try and kickstart things. Most importantly though, I making time in my life for this part of my life.
Revolution #2 my spirit
I have become very lax in spiritual matters and it stops now. I am going to get back in the habit of really studying my church materials and sincerely praying. Simple primary answers, but the change they can bring is phenomenal!
Revolution #3 my business
I am starting my own line of materntiy clothes. Right now, I'm making diaper bags for a local store and saving every penny to fund my line. I'll keep you posted, but things are looking really good right now in this area.
Revolution #4 me
I am taking time to find myself. I am playing the piano more and seriously considering starting lessons again. However, my business has to be more established before I do too much learning new things! So, I'm focusing on setting aside a little time each day to read, play piano or relax. I have also set up a scrapping day with some of my family every other week. Finally, I'm in the process of getting a playgroup together, more for me than for TJ, but he'll have fun too!
As you can see, I've got a lot on my plate, but I love it. I feel alive and excited. I'm seeing progress in many areas already and can't wait to see what the year brings!!
Happy New Year

Way to go! I am so ecstatic for your revolutions! You are such an awesome individual and deserve every one of those things! Good luck through the year. I can't wait to read the updates! Love ya!
There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to accomplish everything you set out to do, including living in Florida and working at the "Disney Hollywood" costume studio (Then we'll all have an excuse to go to Disney World.... I mean come visit you).
By the way I hope you got more pictures of the muppet 3-D theater... yeeaaaaaah! (imagine my arms flailing about Kermit style).
Remember life is more about the journey than the destination.
