life is FABULOUS!!!!!

wow, i am just super happy to be the mom of lilli AND sanoii.  these girls absolutely LOVE each other.   i knew that lilli was going to be a rad sis, but we are just amazed at how sweet she is to her and that she has never asked if we could return her.  i also can't believe how different these two gals look. 1 is sort of a mini gareth and 1 is a mini me.  (of course my mini me is the short chubby one!)

honestly, my christmas was strange.  i was very sad because i thought dixiemae was dying.  she was very sick all day and i thought i was going to have to say good bye to my closest companion of 11 years.  turns out that she has made a full recovery so i am just going to cherish every day with her and try to be more patient with her.  

i hope you all had a great christmas and that your new year will be GREAT!  i love new year because that means that gareth will be having a few weeks off soon.  our plans for a big vacation might be put on hold because he has to work longer than expected and has a couple buckets n boards gigs lined up on dates that get right in the way of a long trip.  i am still hoping to go to AZ, CA, and OR.  we are just going to have to see what turns up.  we are also planning a big trip to MAUI in november.  the first week. anyone who would like to go with us, let me know.  i will arrange the whole thing.  i would love for family or friends to join us.  everyone could start saving now!

i am also wayyy excited for jan 5th to get here.  that is my official day back at exercising.  i wont jump right into crossfit, but i will being doing more than sitting on the couch eating sweets... i will also post a before picture on my blog.  that will inspire me to hurry and get a flattering after picture up!  the best word to describe me right now is: jiggly.  i have quite a few friends that are marathon training and it drives me crazy to be a blob right now.  my friend libia just finished the dallas marathon.  everyone is very inspiring to me.
