That's how much longer I have to wait until I'm off to Taiwan with my parents to see my sister Marisa!!! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. I'm always excited to be going someplace for vacation, even if I've been there before. Just to get out of Wayne and away from work is the best part. But to have this opportunity to go to Taiwan is just awesome and what makes it even more awesome is that Marisa is there and she'll be able to show us around "her" town. I'm sure she has a lot of stuff for us to see and do and both my mom and I think that this time will go by faster than we would like. We leave bright and early on March 15 and arrive back in Omaha on Sunday, March 23 early in the evening. I'm very anxious and nervous, more nervous about the flight, it's a LONG flight, I just hope they are showing a descent movie and that I'll be able to sleep. I will have TONS of pictures (mom and dad have put me in charge of picture taking), and I hope that I'll be able to remember the names of the places that we see. I will definately have to have a pad & pen along to mark down everywhere we have been. Laundry & packing start this weekend......
9 Days, 15 Hours, 1 Minute, 40 Seconds and counting......

GushyGrams
Marisa discovered this website www.mushygushy.com. It's a pretty fun website. She had sent us all (Mom, Dad, Nick & I) GushyGrams the other day -- I couldn't stop laughing and I think Nick's is hilarious!! I've sent off a couple to some friends and it's definately a website that is now in my bookmarks!! Enjoy!

Changes.....
I've decide to make a few changes......Guess I'm a little behind on my New Years Resolution. Here are a few things I'm going to start:
Exercise. I need to get my butt in gear and shed a few pounds. I recently took possession of my grandfathers treadmill. It's fairly old, but in good condition...it just needs to get plugged in (that's on the agenda for tonight). I also just ordered a Yoga DVD for weight loss. (thanks Jenn!) I've always thought of yoga as something that only skinny people can do. I have been glued to the Biggest Looser and seeing some of them do yoga, I've decided to give it a try. So we'll see how it works out.
Eating Right & Cooking: Nick and I tend to eat out quite a bit....McDonalds, DQ, Runza.....too much and drink way more soda than we should. I'm not particularily a fan of cooking and I don't cook as much as I should. My recipe collection is sparse. I need to start cooking more and try new recipes! So far I've been going on my 2nd week of no soda -- Thanks to getting my wisdom teeth pulled....but I did treat myself over the weekend with one, but only one. I used to drink 2 soda's a day, sometimes more, depending on how my day was going. So far I've been doing well and going to try and continue to do so.
Blogging: I've also been doing really well with this blogging. It's nice to share thoughts with others, weather they are really reading I'm not sure. I like to let everyone know what we're up to and I enjoy checking up on others (Marisa, Jenn, Scott & Mel). So if I could get one entry in a week I'd be happy! Unless I don't have anything important to say, then it might be longer. :-)
Taking Pictures: I LOVE to take pictures!!! I never leave my house without our camera, especially when we're going to see our nieces & nephew. I would like to get a newer camera this year, hopefully before the summer starts. I'm thinking of getting a more advanced camera, not just a small point & shoot one. I want one with a really good zoom, and high megapixels. I'm looking at a Kodak or a Cannon, we'll see.
Scrapbooking: I'm very much into Creative Memories, I just never sit down and work with it. Scrapbooking takes time, more time than I have. I did a Heritage Album that took me 2 1/2 years to finish -- it turned out awesome and I'm very proud of it!! I'd like to start setting aside a couple hours on Saturday or Sunday to get some scrapbooking done. I have some software for my computer that I used to make a hardcover, bound Storybook for myself & Marisa of our NYC trip, but that got a little expensive. It definately got done faster than a regular cut & paste scrapbook, but I actually like to use all my tools to cut out pictures & paper, and gluing everything onto a scrapbook page and be a little more creative. So, I think I'm going to start a new scrapbook for 2008 -- highlighting the main things we've done over the year, nothing too exciting, but something more fun than just photos in an album.
Wow, going back and reading everything I've written I sure hope I can stick to my guns and get these things accomplished. Wish me luck!!

This one's for Nick....
"So I Married An Axe Murderer" is one of Nick's all time favorite movies. And one of Mike Meyers bests!! Nick knows this entire movie word for word.
This is one of our favorite parts in the movie. For those of you who haven't seen this movie you must see this just once! When reading Stuart's lines imagine him with a Scottish accent, and he is referring to his youngest son sitting infront of the television set.
We also like this part in the movie as well.

Stuart Mackenzie: Look at the size of that boy's heed.
Tony Giardino: Shhh!
Stuart Mackenzie: I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick.
Tony Giardino: Shhh, you're going to give the boy a complex.
Stuart Mackenzie: Well, that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid.
Tony Giardino: Shh!
Stuart Mackenzie: Has it's own weather system.
Tony Giardino: Sh, sh, shh.
Stuart Mackenzie: HEAD! MOVE!
