New Years Day 01-01-10 (in binary code)

Happy New Year's!!!!

Today is the first day of the new decade... yea! 10 years down... 90 to go... It is a start to my second year or marriage...(one down... forever to go...) and it is the last weekend of my vacation (tear...) as I will have to go back to work in two days (sucky...) On our last day of 2009, we decided to go snowshoeing at Crystal.... See pic above... I was not digging the climbing up to the top without the ski lift... but here is a good pic of us at the top.

Next time, we go ski lift and slide down... not walk up and down...

As we start the new year... we are going to set some goals... we will not call them New Years Resolutions because those are made to be broken... we shall call them AYP's- adequate yearly progress- and they will be attainable...

1) Survive the school year... (not too difficult...)

2) Have that "baby" discussion... not that we haven't had it... just needs more clarification... i.e. timeframe that isn't "cloudy with a chance of meat balls"

3) Go on a vacation... I want to travel... I was thinking at least a road trip... Route 66???

4) Get debt paid off (now I have planned this to be accomplished by summer... however we will make it an AYP for the sake of not making it by summer... we will blame a sudden vacation or something)

All seem reasonable... not too crazy... not unrealistic... I refuse to make the "lose 10 pounds" goals because we all know that once it is gone.. it finds its way back... though I should utilize the gym more since I pay for it... so...

5) Go to gym more.... ( we will leave it as is... no specifics... just go)

Go 2010! May you be easier than 2009.

Three Weeks Left...

Three weeks left of summer before I have to be back full time... With a meeting here and there, I am quickly approaching the "oh S*@$! I have to teach now!" But some fun things did happen this summer... Like going to Denver and meeting my new nephew Peter.

We took him to his FIRST brewery tour...

Then I completed a Pre-Calculus content class- got an 95%... then Jeremy and I went to San Diego to visit my other nieces and nephew...

We went to the beach, Balboa Park, the science center (as seen with Giovanni checking out the "phone")

AND to the San Diego Zoo... where we found lots of things to look at...

Checking out the Pandas!

and just having fun!

NOW- finished a geometry class in one day! (go payraise) and need to teach a First Aid CPR class in a few days... the countdown will continue!!!

Oh Summer, I wish I didn't neglect you so... I didn't mean it when I was complaining of the raging heat... I swear!
