So This is the New Year...

Well I thought it would be fun to make my last post of the year, and say my favorite saying, "Seee ya next year!!" [So juvenile, I know] I can't quite figure out where the year has gone, only to know that it is in fact GONE!

Do I have any regrets? Ya sure... mostly about the fact that we failed our 2007 resolution... 7 Vacations in the year 2007, we did 5... so close, boo.

Any resolutions for this forth coming year? Ya sure... 8 children in 2008, sike! But that would be quite the accomplishment and it might help me get over the 2007 resolution failure.

In all reality I love this time of year because it helps me realize not only my failures but also the wonderful things that have happened in my life, I am truly blessed. My goal for 2008 to be more humble in realizing the blessing in my everyday life.

[Sorry to go all cheesy, but there is one cheesy post on every blog, and this is mine!]

Sayonara, Finally!

Over the Christmas Break we were finally able to get our

tub refinished! The smell was terrible for a few days,

but we were so glad to get rid of Pinky.

[I wish I would've taken better 'before' pictures, but what can ya do?]

Guitar Heroes

For Christmas, Jash (the Josh that belongs to Ash) got the Guitar Hero 3, so we all rocked till our hearts were content...

I had video footage of Nan & Scott, however it ended up being too dark, but they sure knew how to ROCK!

Christmas Time [Revisited]

We had a really good Christmas and are blessed to have both of our family's close enough to do not only one Christmas Eve party, but two! We spent the earlier part of the day with my family [the Denning's] and then the latter with Adam's [the Andersen/Felt/Clark Families].

It was fun to meet and hold little Luka & see those we don't get to see often! We also missed those we didn't get to see, the Creer's & Becca, please come and visit soon!!!

New York, New York

Here's a compilation of photos from New York, Adam & I took over 200, but only about 10 made the 'blog cut'. Enjoy!

New York Pops @ Carnegie Hall, conducted by Doc Severinsen, Very Excellent!

The Group - Lisa, Me, Don, Aaron, Annie, Scotty

Time Square!

The Burger Joint -- Literally the 'Burger Nazi's' of New York, but waay good & worth being scared out of your mind for.

Also, it ranked #9 on The 20 Burgers To Eat Before You Die List in GQ mag.

Boo NO Dave, Boo.

Sickest Day of my life (stomach flu), but survived long enough to tromp through lower Manhattan!

Rockefeller!!

Top of the 'Rock'
[Empire State Building Behind]

Santa Land @ Macy's

The actual lights that will light up when the ball drops next week!

Carmine's -- We went here right after SPAM-A-LOT [hilarious], it was such a lovely meal and a great way to cap off a wonderful trip! At one point The Christmas Waltz played and actual tears were shed, many of them.

Last, but not least, what trip isn't complete without Kevin Bacon?

We went to the Today Show, which is filmed up by the Rockefeller Plaza and Kevin was the celebrity collecting toys. My favorite part was when Adam yelled, "I love your work with Hanes." This all happened when he was about 5 feet or so from us...

All in all, by far the best trip I have ever had!!

Gotta Love the Subway

I realize that I am behind on things I am wanting to share, so instead of boring everyone with one HUGE post. I will continue to post once, sometimes twice a day until all I want to say has been said... So there.

Ok, you saw a preview of our trip to New York, a picture of me with the Naked Cowboy (which has caused a lot of harrassment on my end). This would've gone up before those photos if my camera hadn't died while uploading...

One of my favorite things about the East Coast is the subways and that's because you never know what you are going to find down there.

Here's a prime example...
