The year is well on its way...and I have already done a couple of my "not to-do" list items. Old habits die hard, I suppose. It feels like no matter how hard I paddle this month, I just can not stay ahead of the current. Life keeps getting faster, busier, more chaotic. I keep wondering how I ever took and entire month of Saturdays and spent them browsing wal-mart & hanging out at my grandma's house!? And oh how I wish I could go and do that every Saturday again...instead of playing catch up with the house and paperwork and such.
I did get to have a relaxing morning...just at the expense of going to see some of my family. I hate having to make that choice. There should just be enough time...for everything...always. HA. Talking to Sarah really made my day though...we finally got a catch-up call in after a week of phone tag. She caught me up on student teaching & I caught her up on work/the house. I really miss being able to just go out and meet her at a coffee shop...or for that matter, seeing her everyday! Seeing everyone at new year's has made me so nostalgic this month!

I finished the Twilight series this week! I know I know...can you hear the teenage girls swooning at the mere mention of the book? The thing is, it was a really good series. I was engulfed in it for nearly a month....I read each book in about a week, with a break in between for Christmas. And now that I am finished, I can't seem to find a book to peak my interest in quite the same way. I may go for a classic...something I probably should have read long ago. Maybe I will re-read Marley & Me before seeing the movie.

Matthew & our friend Aaron have been out rock climbing alllll day today. I am wondering if they ever plan to return! Hopefully he won't be exhausted....cause I want to rearrange the living room tonight! I am also thinking ice skating would be fun. haha...always scheming.

Enough time spent on here...xoxo to you all. peace, jess.
