The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk to much, love too seldom and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just move on...Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved one, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give to to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Amy and Missy's Birthday celebration!
So we went to Applebee's last night for Amy and Missy's birthday. . .First of all, It's a damn good thing that Skoot and I got a gift card for Christmas, otherwise I would have been pissed!!! Our waiter didn't know anything about the menu, Our food was all way cold when it came out and he wasn't even busy! We saw him chillin right next to the server station chattin it up with his buddy!We were never checked on once our food was out, it took FOREVER to get our checks . . I was just SO not impressed. Maybe I'm really hard on servers because I've been one but that was SERIOUSLY really bad.. Anyway, on to the rest of the night: We went to the hotel afterward and I had so much fun!!We were on the VIP list so we got in for free! Pretty sure Chanelle was lame for not showing up. She bailed and didn't even say anything till I tried to verify that she was coming, HOW RETARDED!! Ha I had such a Blast though!*I LOVE TO DANCE* I also need to go out more often, it is such a stress reliever!! Anyhoo, I have some of the hottest friends ever, lol, probably cuz they're my Blaze ladies!!

Winter Wonderland huh?
Yesterday as Skoot and I were watching the news, we learned from our trusty weatherman that this coming week is supposed to be our coldest week yet this winter! How do I feel about that? HORRIBLE! I need to just go live in Hawaii like Jodie did or maybe just go on our Honeymoon again to Riviera Maya. Don't those pics from our Honeymoon just look too perfect? Like postcards, I think. Well, Maybe we will go on a vacation to the beach sometime soon, until then, I'll just have to daydream about perfect weather somewhere. I need to get out of this snow capped land

UTES UNDEFEATED!!! 13-0
That's right, the Utes had a perfect season! I hope everyone watched the bowl game last night and got to witness how prepared this team was to come and take the game. Oh how they conquered Alabama!
