January Bla's

Well, we made it to January. The start of another year. A fresh start. Christmas was so awesome and Toby was cuter then ever and so much fun! It was fun having Amanda here for a few weeks, getting together with all the family and it was fun celebrating Jesus's birthday.

But now it's January. BLA!! It has always been my least favorite month of the entire year. Sure there are times when I do feel a bit relieved the holidays are behind us and we get a fresh start with a new year, but mostly it's just cold and dreary outside and there is just not a lot to look forward to in January. Then on top of it it is the month that my mom died (18 years ago today) and now my nephew Jacob too. I am not one to wallow in despair though or try to only look at the negative so I have really tried this week to stay focused on the positives and all of the many many reasons I have to be happy and grateful, and there are many! I also love to watch all the sunny movies I can get my hand on too in the months of January and February. It really does let you espcape for just a couple hours and dream of being there! A few of my favorites:

  • My Father the Hero
  • Pirates of the Carribbean
  • Under the Tuscan Sun
  • Into the Blue
  • After the Sunset

So here's to a very Happy New Year and a fantastic new decade!!

Two more reasons to LIKE January... Your sister Liz came into the world on January 5th, and your sister Sherry came into the world on January 20th :D... These are both two very positive things that happened in the month of January lol. ;)
