Ive seen a lot of hype lately about these 30 day and 365 day challenges. They seem to have one for every aspect of your life. I am going to be starting a couple of them tomorrow. I am going to embark on a 365 day photo challenge, where I take one picture of something in my life everyday. At first I thought this was kind of silly, but after reading a description on why you would want to do it, it makes a little more sense. I mean, Im going to be able to look back and see a picture of a piece of my life for everyday of the year... I dont lead an overly exciting life, but hopefully this will help it seem a little more exciting. I am also going to start a 30 day challenge that will help encourage and strengthen relationships. However, that one I am going to have to start tomorrow, because I have already messed day 1 up. In my defense, I did not know I was going to be doing this challenge when I committed the offense. If all goes as planned, it will be bring out some positive changes in me and my attitude towards different things in my life. For 30 days, you cannot say anything negative about or to your spouse, or to anyone else about your spouse. I believe this will prove to be difficult but I am determined to complete this challenge, and if I mess up, I will start over!

Please excuse my absence...
Well, so far this seems to be going like my diary in middle school, (except Im refraining from talking about only boys) I do really good, and then I disappear for awhile. But in my defense, I have been incredibly busy lately.
We had a blizzard last week, literally, they called it a blizzard. We got 14" of snow last Tuesday. Needless to say, Im sick of snow by now! And what do you know, they are calling for an additional 5" tomorrow. I dont know where in the world we're supposed to keep putting all this darn snow!
In addition to that, Camryn turned 2 on Thursday, and I had a birthday party for her over the weekend, so the week was pretty much shot on getting everything prepped for a hello kitty birthday party! It did end up going very well though. And the hello kitty cake, and the tractor cake for my sisters boyfriend did turn out pretty cute, if I say so myself.
After the party on Saturday, we decided to go to Chuck E. Cheese with a few friends. Big. Mistake. I cannot believe how people just let their children do whatever they want in there. I actually witnessed a little boy knock a little toddler (who had pretty much just learned to walk) down flat on the tile floor, and just kept running, never looked back. Had there not been a language barrier, I would've grabbed the kid by the back of the shirt as he went flying past me. And the kids there did not know the meaning of "taking turns". The kids and I stood in line for quite a few minutes before I finally had to say something to him about giving us a turn, and he was none too happy about it, when he finally did relinquish control of the game. And as I walk around, I see all these parents just sitting around in the booths drinking beer and eating pizza, not at all worried about what their kids are doing! Unbelievable. The kids had a blast for the most part, and I survived, but its not an experience I will soon embark on again!
Superbowl Sunday was deliciously uneventful. I went to my first official Superbowl party, (minus the one in my friends dorm, which doesnt count because you cant get a full menu out of a microwave and mini-fridge), and I have to say, that it was quite a lot of fun. A bunch of Army recruiters and their families and hanging out, with a bunch of yumminess is a great time. Although today Ive been feeling a little under the weather. I dont have a tummy ache, sore throat, stuffy nose, nothing like that, I just feel achy and cold, like I have a fever. But when I take my temperature, of course it says Im fine. Not that it'd matter, not like I get sick days (<==something that i miss).
Well, I finally got all my pictures from the last couple months uploaded to facebook so I guess I better get to the grocery store before the weather hits tomorrow... I believe I would have a couple unhappy midgets if I run out of milk during the day!
