The New Year so far....

So far the New Year has treated Ski and rather well. At the end of the year I cleaned out my friends, and realized that the number of friends I have doesn't amount to the same as if I had two very close friends. 


One of my dearest friends I met Niki her freshman year of high school, my junior year. After I graduated we stopped talking and grew apart. About a year ago she found me on Facebook and we never really talked much at all. Around October/November we started talking via Facebook more and more often and made a promise to text each other once a day even if it is just to say I hope you have a good. Ever since then we text each other everyday and have on and off conversations until I fall asleep. Since then she has helped me become the woman I want to be, confident, feeling beautiful in my body, being unique, lucky and so much more. I hope we will grow together and be each others rock. 


My other dearest friends is Debra I met her when she opened a mailbox at my dad's store. She did 6 years of traveling and we grew close, by phone conversations. She just settled down in the Springs and we are now work out buddies. We go to the YMCA on Monday's for Mindfulness Meditation Intro, on Tuesday and Thursdays we do Zumba. We have a blast I have never had so much fun working out before (okay that was an exaggeration, I had the best time with my mom when we did Yoga). So far Zumba is kicking my butt, I am ready and well prepared to kick its butt! 


Those are my two closest friends that aren't my "family". 

I haven't updated on my Grandma A's cancer condition. As of Christmas Eve 2009 we found out her cancer is not attaching to any organs, it is active cancer cells that are just floating around. She continually asks her doctor if she really does have cancer because she just doesn't feel it. She is going to the doctor sometime this month and I hope nothing changes for the worst. 


So Ski and I were able to finally buy a second car and we bought a 1999 Land Rover, Niki has named her Josephine, I call her Josie and my dad calls her Jo because he says a SUV can not be a girl. I think differently and so does Niki. It runs like a dream for being a 1999 it runs like a brand new vehicle. The only downer is we will have to replace the windshield. There is a massive crack that goes right through my viewing area. 


Ski is graduating in June with his Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice, as he is graduating he will be taking some of his Masters courses. I can't explain how proud I am of my husband! We are crossing our fingers that he gets a Summa Cum Laude (which means that he has a 3.9 or higher of GPA). One of his courses this quarter is kicking his butt, not even I would put all the effort that is desired by the teacher into that class and I am a 4.0 student. 


That is about it so far for the New Year I am sure there will be lots more to come!
