New Years Resolutions

New years resolutions are garbage. No one ever mets them, and really we set ourselves us for failure most of the time. I have life goals that I would like to achieve but nothing that I would place a time restraint on really. The only one exception came a year ago when my cousin Josh wrote in his blog that he and his friends had challenged eachother to count the number of books they read that year. I took on the challenge. I am not a reader. Nor would the books I read compare the the "Hemmingway" type of books Josh reads. You probably guessed from all my blogging I am a horrible speller. That is thanks to my Grade 7 year of education when the school decided to cancel all grammer lessons. Seriously no joke, we had none. The following year they realized what a mistake they made and fixed the problem but this is beside the point. I have not been a reader most of my life. My goal this last year was 12 books. I surpassed it and read 20!! Yeah for me!! With two kids, work, home life, friends and all, I am pretty proud of myself. My goal this year is 24. I actually enjoy reading now.

Winnipeg Winter???

Feels like Winnipeg here. As I go for a walk pulling the kids in the sled I take a look around. We just had 7 inches of snow at one time, the snow blowers are out in full force and everyone seems to be either stuck or driving extremely slow. The only major difference here is that our temperature does NOT have a zero after the number. We are just -4 nor -40!! That is a pretty major difference if you ask me. Amazing how our bodies adjust though. We think this is cold and yet how did we ever survive Winnipeg winters before!! I know, we wore more then our fleece coat and a sweater! Anyways, we are enjoying the snow here just the same. Here's a few shots of how much fun we're having.
