Shopping Anyone?



Ok, I just cleaned out my closet and filled a BIG bag for the D.I.....I now have nothing to wear. Sure hope my honey gives me shopping money for my birthday..hint...hint! Dress Barn, Sears, khols would be nice.....LOL

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


(It's only Apple Cider)

OK, most of us make a New Years Resolution and then about six weeks into the year we can't even remember what it was. Yes, I want to lose 20 pounds but I can do that and I know I can, I have lost and found it a million times....LOL. This year I wanted to think of something that would actually bring me closer to the ones I love and not just something that serves my inner vanity. So....this year my New Years Resolution is to spend more time with my family, making wonderful memories with them. When I die Heavenly father is not going to say..."Good Job on the weight thing Cricket, or Your house was the cleanest I have ever seen, or You put your job first in your life...way to go"!

Those are not the memories I want to take with me. I want memories of watching my kids grow up, go out into the world and become parents themselves. I want to see my grandchildren discover the world.I want dinners, and breakfast, shopping trips, movies and game night. I want to remember how I saw Paige come into this world and take her first breath. I want to remember the sweet little funny faces Jaxson makes. And then there is sweet little Kayden our great grandson...what a joy he is. And I am looking forward to making many more memories with the grandchildren and great grandchildren to come.

Yes, the house does need to be clean, and health is very important so taking off 20 pounds to make sure I live longer is really important. But the most important thing of all is my family. Being with them, doing things to bring us closer and bridging any gaps is the most important thing of all. I love my family with all my heart and want nothing more than to be with them now and forever.

** Oh Yes, There is one little tiny thing I would like to do. Learn how to scan pictures from prints onto my computer and then actually find them and be able to use them on my blog. I have no problem taking them from my camera but if it's a print and I need to scan it in...you would think it was brain surgery...LOL. I should be able to do this. After all I am married to the biggest computer Geek in the world**

***SO...DO ANY OF YOU HAVE A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE***
