Happy New Year

I'm a little late on a Christmas update and New Years post, but better late than never, right?

Christmas was SO GOOD this year! Santa was very generous. We got a Wii which we actually opened up November 25th... guess we don't know which month Christmas is in.... Santa also brought us the Super Mario Bros Wii game, Guitar Hero World Tour, a pink remote for the Wii for me, lots of fun games, tons of movies including the Office Seasons 2 and 3 which we have been ADDICTED to, and some Christmas sweaters. I gave Dustin Wii Sports Resort and some cologne. He gave me a foot massager and a beautiful new hand mixer. It was such a great Christmas morning! Dustin woke up at 5 and could not go back to sleep for the life of him. I made him wait until 6 to actually get out of bed and open up presents. I was hoping to sleep until at least 7, but nope! Hahaha.
Dustin's parents gave us a nice outdoor kitchen unit and a griddle/grill attachment. My parents gave me a coat, Dustin a couple pairs of pants, and we got a Magic Bullet Deluxe which has a blender attachment! Pretty sweet! Seriously, we feel so lucky that we got such a great Christmas!

New Years Eve we threw a little fondue party with cheese, broth, and chocolate fondue. We had to stop Harry Potter 6 to shout happy new year, bust out the bubbly, and pop some poppers. Then we finished the movie and everyone left by 1. It was happy.

Now it is January 12 and Dustin is back in school. He does not have as many credits as last semester and is able to work part time, 20 hours, so that is awesome as I will not be teaching for the Art City Music Academy after this month.

Dustin just started Slim for Spring, a competition with some family friends and family to lose weight and be healthy! The program is 12 weeks long and you are given points based on things such as drinking 48 oz water, exercising 30 mins, eating 5 fruits and veggies, no treats, etc. Then of course there are points given for losing/maintaining weight and inches. We already miss chocolate but it's kinda fun to try to really be healthy! We are buying lots of healthy food and just bought the Wii Fit Plus bundle so we can work out before we play any other games on the Wii. Hopefully this will help a little and will be a fun competition.

Sounds like you guys had and are having fun over the holidays and with all your fun new stuff. I'm jealous of your wii and esp. the wii fit pack. Good luck with slim for Spring. Giving up chocolate just doesn't sound fun to me, so I admire people who have the will power to give it up.

That sounds so fun! All the Wii stuff sounds great! And I am impressed with the health challenge, it is nice to try to be healthier (but I little difficult too). Hope it goes well for you both!
