The last day of the year

Tomorrow is the first day of 2013 and we sure are looking forward to it! Looking back, our biggest challenge has been the misses health. We’re sure next year will bring relief to her. Now some good things have happened this year so it wasn’t all bad. First off, work was pretty good, we switched to a new accounting system that basically meant we had 10 months to do 12 months worth of sales and we pretty much got it done. Next up, Peyton Manning and the Broncos. Some people will say it’s only football, but the good feelings you have when your team is doing well, are well, priceless. Next up, both boys had a year of growing and learning and did very well in all areas of being 8 and 10. We had some fun trips, all domestic this year that included the ranch in Wyoming, camping in Steamboat and the oldest and I hunting. So we’re thankful for all the good things in our life throughout the year and looking forward to a new beginning starting at 12 midnight tonight.

Now last night we ran downtown to The Kitchen, which is a great farm to table restaurant, for dinner. The youngest wasn’t feeling too well on the way but seemed fine once we arrived. Turns out around midnight, he woke up throwing up all over our room! It seems for the last month or so, lots of people around here (in our neighborhood and school) have had this stomach virus similar to the Norovirus you hear about on cruise ships. So when I woke up, I took clorox wipes and hit every door handle, the computer, all the remotes, and bathrooms. He apologized for getting sick in our room and felt so bad. I’m going to do all I can do to stop it from spreading through the entire family but everyone we know that’s had it, has had it family wide.

Yesterday the misses took the boys to a movie while I was occupied with the trouncing of the Kansas City Chiefs by our aforementioned beloved Broncos. I did manage to get through my sock drawer last night, cleaning it out for the new year. I have a conference call this morning and then some organizing around her for the fresh start tomorrow. I’ll start with my office.

It snowed lightly early this morning and is supposed to be really cold, like 15 or 20, for the whole day. I went out barefoot for the paper as it doesn’t much bother me.

In closing, we hope everyone has a great evening and an even better 2013! We like to (as our blog is named) try to implement life changes rather than go for a resolution that we’ll never be able to keep. As a family, we’ll all sit around today and come up with things we want to do next year and changes we want to make. It’s fun and helpful to have all of us, kids included, on board.

Before I go, here’s a comment from Grandma Annette,

Annette says:

The castle is in Kinlockaline Scotland. I did a little research on google. The thistle and the bee belong to the clan Innis, apparently the guys writing the books on the clans in 1845 did not do their research very well (no internet). The Innis clan made a big thing of it in the 1960′s and our offical coat of arms is the arm and bow. The boys will love the history on the internet, it is very violent, lots of pictures of the castle ect. The castle is owned privatly now, no tours or visiting. Check out MacInnes clan history and Kinlockaline on Google.

We did google this and it’s really interesting, we’re going to try to make it over there this year. Grandma Annette, you should come along!

Take care, cheers to the New Year and God Bless.
