January came... and went..

This month went entirely too fast, not that I am complaining because I am ready for the spring. Some fun things worth mentioning that happened this month are as follows:

My 3rd Anniversary (Feels like 10th :P )
Hooch made some great food and we just chilled at home! It was super nice though!Kollman's Birthday Party at Keys on Main
Kollman and Cody got called up to dance for their birthdays
Kollman was dancing to Madonna's "Like a Virgin"
Cody was rockin' out to Brit's "Baby One More Time" with some random cowboy hat that was on stage. It was so cute :P

Celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Having some beer and food! Good times!

Ally's First Going Away Party at the Paper Moon
It was fun dancing, and watching Feef pretending to be sexy ! HA!
Family Home Evenings with Trish (Now including Dr. Mario on Super NES)
Boston's 4th Birthday Party

Cute little twerps!Winning My First Poker Tournament against the Big Dogs

It was a good month, but would be better if it was sunny and warm :P
Lots of time spent with the fam, that's most important!

Home Sweet Home (For Now)

I can't even begin to explain how important it is to have a place of your own (especially at my age). Well finally after years of talking and planning, Hooch and I finally moved out of Kel's house. Hoody Hoo! Unfortunately, its not my own house because of my lack of credit. However, I have been taking steps to get the necessary credit to buy a house in the near future :P
Here are a few pics of our new little pad, it's only been a week so it is still pretty bare.

Living Room where we watch endless hours of the L Word

Prepare me up some food in our little kitchen be-otch... My fat ass didn't take a picture of the pantry, but it is well stocked with food.. Hells yea!Chill Room (with Hooch playing Tony Hawk)My lighthouse bathroom...at least the shower curtain.. I didn't get a picture of Hooch's bath, but it is cute :POur new bed and bedroom set.. so dam comfy!


I love it so much. It has been so nice to have my own place again.
Much Love :)

"Please remember all of the things I never got a chance to say.. like you look smashing.. in your fourth grade picture, the one that we hung by the door.. in our house, that was so beautiful.. yeah, here in our little home.. our little home.. nobody knows.. our little home.. nobody knows what goes on.. our little home" - Rocky Votolato "Suicide Medicine"

Oh the girls were well worth the experience, but it was especially great spending time with my sister and Hooch :P
Many more memories to make!

As for the new year, plenty of great times ahead of me. My goal for this year (and for the rest of my life) is to LIVE my life.... to the fullest! I am not going to let anyone/anything stand in my way. I am going to do the things that make me happy, go to the places that I wanna go.. and if you are in, then that's wonderful, if not, hope our paths meet again! This world is too full of negativitiy.. and full of beautiful creatures and things... Time to see those things again and focus on the positivity...on light...on LOVE.

Happy trails ahead!
