Down Time & Resolutions

Ahhhhhh...this weekend was HEAVENLY! I used a spa gift certificate that John got me for Christmas at the Spa Club in Fort Union. I got an hour swedish massage and joined the spa club to receive future discounts. All I can say is WOW! It was Ahhhhh-mazing!! She massaged my back, neck, arms, hands, feet, and scalp. I'm thinking I'll make this a monthly thing. This will be my monthly pamper-myself session!

Also, I recently finished the Twilight books. I know, they're so "teenage girl," but they were AWESOME! I finished all three in the span of a week. I was addicted! They start shooting the first movie next month and I am so excited! I have to say that Edward Cullen is by far the hottest, sexiest vampire EVER! Those who have read the books will know exactly what I mean. Those of you who haven't should definitely read them!

2008 snuck up on us very quickly! But we HAVE made our New Year's resolutions. Ours is to lose weight--I know, BORING, but definitely needed! My other resolution is to start writing more. I've been thinking about writing the insides of cards. Kellie Holley, a friend of mine, is a fantastic artist and we once talked about making cards together--she'd do the art and I'd do the poems. We'll see how that goes. John's other resolutions are to learn CPR and take guitar lessons. Then he can serenade me every night. Haha! 

I am WAY excited for summer now that winter is officially halfway over. We are tentatively planning on going to Italy (I hope we can afford it!). If we can, we'll spend 2 weeks taking in the beautiful sites and eating delicious food! We want to visit Bellagio (Lake Como), Venice, Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast (another reason to lose weight--swimsuits!!). We figure the trip (with airfare) will cost about $5,000. Eeeeesh! So we'll see how kind Uncle Sam is to us when we get our return!! If we don't go to Italy, we'll stick with our old standby--Florida. It's cheap, we know our way around, and there's plenty to do! And we'll be wearing swimsuits there, too, so we better get cracking on the losing weight resolution! I guess it doesn't help that I just made chocolate chip cookies. But mark my words--come summer, I am going to feel good sporting a swimsuit! Good luck to all of you with your resolutions!

K I am so joining that spa club with you and coming with you every chance I get! That would be awesome! And as far as the Twilight Series go, I havent read them, but I dont think they are teenage girl, EVERYONE is reading them! In fact I think I am the only girl that hasnt! Sounds like some good goals, if you ever want to go with me at night, let me know!

That sounds like so much fun!! Just don't go in August, that's when Rory and I will be in Utah :). Hey I was thinking you should visit my Aunt Sue’s website and post your guacamole dip recipe, or just post it on your site, or maybe I'll just call you and get the recipe :). We are going to a super bowl party and I want to bring it. Talk to you soon!
