Fail! But on a positive note...

Ooopsies, how did January 3 sneak up so quickly? Regarding my last post: I have not yet begun my quest to read the Bible start to finish (as I am still cramming for the Praxis in 6 days), I have not officially documented positive things that have occured in the last three days (but I have been mentally making note of them), and I did pass on the opportunity to hang out with BLap for the first time in FOREVER because I was not feeling so fabulous after NYE. HOWEVER.... I will count ringing in the New Year at Public Bar in Dupont Circle quite a success at partaking in adventures in 2010. I won't go into detail but I will say that I fell in a massive puddle on the way to the bar and slept on my floor when I got home. Needless to say, I wont be having that kind of adventure for some time (hopefully never) again.

Also on new years eve eve I did get the opportunity to hang out with a great friend from YEARS ago who moved to the west coast when we were 14. It was fabulous to get to spend some time with her and catch up on what we've been doing the last 9 years. She hasn't changed much, except in the sense that she's all grown up now (interestingly, I am as well...). But its always nice to see that people maintain their integrity and who they are over the years. She had to go back to Cali but plans to visit in the spring/summer. I look forward to spending time with her again soon!

Amanda and Amanda- 9 years later! I sure do miss her!

So about those resolutions. Allow me to make up for my slackerness in documenting something fun and fabulous that happened to me in the last 3 days.

January 1, 2010: I spent a wonderful evening with Tory's family at dinner, cracking up at their routine comic relief in the presence of my remaining queasiness from the night before. I got to eat a yummy meal of all the new year's traditions. I'm certain I've got all the luck I'll need for 2010. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful group of people that I consider family so close to me in NOVA. I love them dearly.

January 2, 2010: I watched a movie adapted from one of my favorite book series: Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. Zach gave me the 2nd movie for Christmas and I watched it in bed last night while I drifted off to sleep. Sounds cheesy and girly but it was completely what I needed after an exhausting weekend. OH! And Lisa and I now officially have a dinner table in our apt! Now the wonderful family of 4 can all eat breakfast together without Lila having to sit on the TV tray. YAY! :)

January 3, 2010: My sister attended church with us this morning. Even with the sourpuss look on her face when she realized that the entire service would be dedicated to Communion and discussing the church's vision for 2010, I am still glad she came. I know it meant a lot to my parents, especially my dad who was voted into the leadership council a few weeks ago! ALSO- I bought some new coldgear for training through the winter.... Nike DriFit+on sale= happy girl. Bad news is... I've got to take them back because they are the wrong size. Good news is... I am smaller than I thought I was and I'll be retuning them for a S instead of a M....

Its the little things in life. :)
