January has been long, and I am ready for it to be over. I started the month with an announcement at work that all full time employees were going to a flex-full time status, and the most hours that we would be working in a week would be 39 hours, and that all positions were open, and that we would have to post for the same job in order to keep it. I was a little nervous at first, and was so ready to jump on the train and take the severence package and leave, but after much fasting and prayer it was in my best interest to stay on. I do have to be grateful that I do still have a job. I do know that prayers are answered, and that we just have to be patient for the things that we want most in life.
Shane and I have been up to a few things since the first part of the year. We finally decided to paint our bedroom!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! I was so happy, as it has needed to be done for a VERY VERY long time. I do have to blame myself, as I have been going back and forth over the color selection. I am very pleased with the choice that I made, and I can't believe how much darker it has made our bedroom.
We have also celebrated my mom's, and Ryan's birthday this month. Shane finally got out on the last weekend of the duck hunt, and had a good time. He just wished that he would have had the opportunity to go a lot sooner than that. Stupid weather did not play in his favor this year. He also went Ice fishing, and he looks forward to many more trips. We are planning a trip to Flaming Gorge in February to go Ice fishing. It will be COLD, but it should be fun. Just pray I don't freeze and that I catch the biggest fish J/K.
I have been feeling very crafty lately and have had an itch for a while. Christmas had a lot to do with it too. I had a ton of fun this year making a few presents for Shane, Krysten and Aynsley. I started a scarf on New Years Eve, and finished it a few days later. Now I am on to making some Valentine's crafts for the house, and many more things, then I think some changes will be coming forward with our house. I am anxious to get our bathroom painted and decorated, and the main bathroom done too. I have a huge list this year, and I hoping that it will all get done. We shall see.
Along with all of that, I can not wait for SPRING/SUMMER and have been dreaming of it for a while. I am really looking forward to spending many days by the pool, basking in the sun, watching baseball, and even gardening. Oh I just CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!! I AM FILLED WITH SO MUCH EXCITEMENT THAT I CAN HARDLY STAND IT. It is so close, so for all of you suffering from the winter blues. Hang in there, in a few short weeks, we will be able to pull those dusty flip flops out. HOORAY!!!!!
Until that happens I will continue to dream of this..............
And this.........
And this.........

So were are the pictures of your painted walls? I want to see. And when your done with that...can you come do mine? Totally kidding. I like to be cold and warm up, but I also LOVE spring!!!! Its my favorite season!!!! Pretty flowers, things coming back to life, just everything about it, well except the mud. :)
I miss summer too!! I'm going to run the 5k this year. So, we can be each others support group. I just started to "train" for it. We will see how far I get. I too want to see your painted walls!!
So was that supposed to cheer me up or depress me more? Seeing all the summer pictures makes me want to cry just like everyday I wake up and see snow or frost on the ground and hear my heater kick on. Sorry, I always get depressed this time of year. You sound so optimistic though. Maybe I should call you to cheer me up:) I'm so proud of you for working out everyday. Keep it up. It is hard at first and you won't see results for a little while, but if you keep it up, then when the results come, they will keep coming fast!! Give it a good 4 months before deciding if it was worth it or not.
