New Business

I am pleased to announce that our business, Mantra, LLC, is officially open for business! Recent events have provided Ben the opportunity to become partners, in a new business venture. Needless, to say, Ben is now going to be a business owner.
I am so excited for Ben to take on this great and wonderful opportunity. He has definitely come along way from the first time I met him and he is an amazing person who can accomplish anything, if he puts his mind to it.
As Ben said: “this is his baby”, and I know he will treat it with the utmost care and responsibility needed to succeed.
I am excited to see what happens in the future, and hope that prosperity is just around the corner.
Good Luck Baby!

Inauguration Day 2009

Today Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States of America. I am so proud to be alive today and am humbled to have witnessed this historic and monumental event for our country. I am proud to live in the greatest country in the world, and to be able to have all the freedoms that we have, even if, we take them for granted everyday. I am proud to be an American and I look towards the future with hope and optimism.

New Year's Eve Pics

Here are some New Year's pictures. Most of my pictures I archive in Facebook and Myspace, so posting them a 3rd time, here on the blog, gets a little tedious at times. So I am only going to post some here, and I guess if you really want to view all of them, then check out my myspace or facebook.

New Years Resolution

So we are already in the new year 15 days, and I haven't even gotten around to posting my New Year's Eve pictures (I promise they are coming). I don't have the internet at my house, so that means I have to go to my parents house, if I want to do anything on the Web. That is why it takes me forever to post things.
Anyways, I have decided to write down my New Years resolutions (so maybe they will get resolved this year).

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
1. Stop procrastinating
2. Get into shape, and keep a healthy weight
3. Play with my dogs each day
4. Get to know friends and family members better
5. Have more patience with Ben and all the things he does that drives me crazy
6. Be less sensitive to what others say and/or do
7. Learn to love myself
8. Find time to meditate everyday
9. Don't take life so seriously and have more fun
10. Read more books
11. Don't care so much about what others think
12. Tell my hubby that I love him, everyday!
13. Remember these words of wisdom: Forget regret or life is yours to miss.

Christmas Day

Christmas Day traditions: Go to the Pews for Christmas breakfast, and then open presents with Ben's side of the family. Afterwards we go over to my parents house to open presents and then we have Christmas dinner. This year Christmas at my house was crazy and crowded. But the more the merrier, right? It was a great Christmas.

Christmas Eve

We always spend Christmas Eve at my Grandma Di's house. This year was so much fun because my whole (immediate) family was here for Christmas and my uncle Mike came in from Minnesota with his 2 girls. There were so many people there, it was really crazy, but I think it was the funnest Christmas I've had.
