I'm Loving the New Year....

May the New Year

Bring you Joy!

..

Hey everyone,

As I'm sure most of you know,

2008 wasn't the best year for me, Jeff

or really anyone I know.

..

I'm excited to report that 2009 has

started off well and I only see it getting better.

I changed career paths this year and I'm excited

to see where that leads me. As much as I enjoyed

teaching, I feel I will wait until I'm a mother, see how

I feel and then I might return to it.

..

As of now, I started a career in Real Estate.

As we all know, the economy has put a damper

on things and the market is extreamly slow.

I figured I would take this time to learn

how Real Estate works and learn from the best,

Realitor, Don Edwards (Yes, Shannon's Dad)

He and Cheree have decided to make me the

office manager and I am loving my job!!

(Thank you Cheree and Don)

..

My Goals for this year:

keep a positive additude no matter the circumstances

and take each day at a time. I've learned that things

can't be rushed and new chapters of life will happen

when they happen. Whenever the Lord decides to bless

me with new and exciting adventures, I will be ready.

..

Jeffrey and I have started a new workout plan and

I'm excited to see the results. Our friends, Leanne

and Matt, introduced us to P90X. At first I sceptical,

But after three work outs, I've never been so sore in my life!

about 80 days to go and I will let you know if it worked.

Expect us to be toned and ripped!

P90X MY FRIENDS! BRING IT.

(That was for you Jeff)

..

So, Enjoy the New Year and keep Jeff

and I posted on how you're doing.

On our way home from Andrew and Lindsey's

House, we decided to take HWY 150 into Ojai.

it was a beautiful Saturday morning and we,

meaning me, couldn't resist but to stop and enjoy the view.

Two weeks ago Jeffrey and I spent some

time in Santa Barbara. I took him to lunch at

Padaro Beach grill, off Santa Claus Lane.
If you haven't eaten there, you should

On a sunny day, it's perfect. They have a huge

sand box for kids and lots of picnic tables outside,

and a lot of grass to throw a blanket down and read a book.

For our moms birthday this year we kept things

pretty low key. She didn't want to do much so we

out for coffee and enjoyed the warm afternoon.

OH, we also got her a new wallet.

A nice one, she's been wanting for a while.

Two weeks ago I went to the beach with Christina.

It was beautiful!!!!!! Aren't we blessed to be able to enjoy the beach

In January during winter season?!

I know, It's crazy.

New years eve this year was very low key.

Jeff and I spent the night with our friends,

Andrew and Lindsey. We played games in our PJ's

and had a lot of fun staying home where it was safe.

Plus, Andrew makes a mean Margarita!

We Snuggle everywhere we go.

Andrew and Lindsey have the

Cutest

Doggie!

This year I was spending Christmas

at my dads, so I had an early

Christmas with the reeds.

We're showing off our new gifts!

This year we pitched in and got Jeff this awesome

Navy Seal watch he's been dying to have.

Not that I was hinting or anything....

But, Jeff got me BEAUTIFUL Diamond earrings!!

All I wanted for Christmas this year

was a second hole in each ear and some

diamonds to go with them. :-)

I was SO EXCITED!!!!!

I have such a great man in my life.

I'm very blessed.
