RiNgIng in 2009!!!!

Happy new year! I cannot believe its finally here! I'm writing from the couch, enduring the new years football bowl games that are not doubt going to dominate the TV today. I actually don't mind too much, Meg and Mom and I might go to a movie today. Megan and I went and saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button before we left, but Marley&Me and Seven Pounds are still on the list of must-see's. (Except Seven pounds didn't get good reviews? And I heard Marley was sad...) Anyways, that might be something fun to do today since we are all taking the day off from skiing. Three ski days in a row has left all of us tired, sore, or both... so today could not have come at a better time!
Last night we went to this Italian restaurant, Bachi... really yummy!! They had it all decorated in twinkly lights and most of their seating area was outside (enclosed with heat lamps and canvas to keep the wind out). It was really neat... I took some pictures so when I get home I'll be sure to post them.
We leave early Saturday morning, hoping to make it back that night, and then my flight is mid afternoon Sunday. I can't believe its been almost 3 weeks since I've been home from school! It really seems like a lot shorter but I am excited to go back. Excited for the season to start, new classes (except I have to take a night class next semester which I don't know how I feel about..?) and RUSH that starts a few weeks into January. I want to take a little this semester in Delta (little sis) which I am also SO SO excited about...I've been sewing all break making clothes for her... my little one who I am going to spoil to no end ;) I pledged as a freshmen and so it meant a lot to me to take a little that was my same age when I joined. I hope everything works out... updates sure to come!! =)
I hope everyone has a great start to 2009!!

Happy New Year! I can't believe your break is almost over, I was going to try and snag you to babysit one night (I swear!!!)but you know how life goes...we never got the time to get out by ourselves for a date. Perhaps this summer you'll be willing to watch 2 babes here and there??? :) Cheers to a happy '09!

Lauren, so, that was a fast 3 weeks! How much fun did we all have?! Sun Valley was a great way to finish up. Loved laughing with you by peering from under our snowy frozen goggles in the blizzard at the top of the Mtn. Always looking forward to the best hot cocoa in the world at the bottom. Loved your great humor in the car and your refraining from attacking Austin, when after hours of driving, your brother tortured you to no end and you still just smiled. Loved watching you sew your Sorority shirts for hours on end! Loved how you couldn't really believe your mom would even get to see Bruce Springsteen and then finding out she got 2 handshakes and a New Years kiss! Loved laughing with you at the Lodge dinner when Austin embarrassed us all. Loved watching you try to make your way to our car in the snow storm in your new brown boots after trying to snag a reservation at Christina's, so funny! Anyways, we had a ton of fun this Holiday and having you home with us was the best part of it all! Love you, Mom
