52 Blessings Challenge

Last year Flickr ran a group that was titled "52 Blessings."

Basically, it was a collection of pictures of the blessings in your life.

The challenge was to take a photo each week of something that is a blessing. I thought it was a cool idea. I went and checked it out and there are some very awesome, unique, and totally unexpected blessings out there.

Like I said, "Very Cool." In fact so cool, I'm going to do it this year. I'm going to start my own, "52 Blessings Challenge." If you want to join feel free. All I ask is that you leave a comment so that I can link back to your, "52 Blessings," post. Let me know each week you update it, and I will keep a list of all the current weeks post below my, "52 Blessings Button."

Technically, speaking today is the last day of the first week of the year. Which is why when I post the pic below I am still in the clear for week one.

I don't require you to sign up for the long hall. Just do what you can when you can. I can't wait to see some of the blessings that are part of all your lives.

That being said here is my pictures for Week One.

These are pictures of my bumper. Exciting right? Anyway, as you can see short of being dirty, there is nothing wrong with my bumper. Even after getting into my first accident. I found out today that the other car is going to cost $800.00 to fix. Sucks! However, I feel it is a huge blessing that I have no damage to my vehicle.

So my first blessing of the year, a non-dented, all be it dirty, bumper.

Where are the pics of the car you backed into? I want to see ripped metal and paint scratches! All Joking Aside, I'm very grateful that you and yours were not hurt. Accidents can be so scary. Congrats on being such a safe driver that this is your 1st and only accident.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive! 

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
