Day 57

The two rugrats. These two cats have very quickly become such a big part of my day. I love the fact that they are they to greet me everytime I open my door. All thoughts of finding Linus a good home has long gone.

Day 56

Take that Martha Stewart. My sister gave me a frozen meal recipe book so I decided to put it to good use. I make tomato basil soup, chicken enchilladas, parmeasean chicken, chocolate chip cookies, and bread. Yuppers, I'm starting to fill my freezer with nothing that was purchased pre-made at the store :-)

Day 55

Boy oh boy, what a day. It started with a headache, so when it came time to work out, I thought I'd give it a shot in hopes that it would go away. Yeah, not so much! When we finished working out, I thought my head was going to explode. It's a sad day when my favorite pain killer isn't working. On the other side, I really am thankful that such

Day 54

The most important people in the world to me. Every year we take two family pictures, one in the summer and one at Christmas time. This time around, we made sure to include the pets as well. It's didn't turn out as the best picture, but I still love it. Linus and Lucy even managed to get along with Tree for a few moments, and wonder of wonders, there were no bunny ears.

Picture 53

A cold night in Michigan. The night after a good snow, I decided to make good use of my time and head out and take pictures. The only trouble is that it was way too cold for me to get out of the car. So, I drove up and down the streets, rolling down the windows and snapping pictures. Part of me is slightly surprised I didn't have some cop pull me over and inquire as to what I was doing. This is an old church not far from Hope College in Holland.

Picture 52

So, while not technically in chronological order, I did take the pictures and individual days and I would like to include them. This picture was taken at Duke chapel on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. A group of us went to hear Handel's Messiah performed. There is nothing quite like it to get you in the holiday mood.

Day 51.... sort of

So turns out my attention span is about 50 days. So much for the old theory that if you do something for 30 days, it becomes habbit.

I've also learned that it's easier to take something away than add something to life. Meaning that for the last two years, I decided to give up something bad for me in the hopes of breaking bad habbits. Turns out, it's not such a difficult thing to do. But try and add something positive to your life, and it takes a lot more work and effort. So, in an attempt to not give up the first time I don't succeed, here I go again, picking back up with the pictures.

These two have very quickly become such a huge source of joy. Linus is hilarious with all his antics and playing around.
