HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2008!

Happy New Year, everyone! We took it easy last night, and rented movies instead of going out to the bars, etc. We were so exhausted from snowboarding, that we just didn't have the energy to go out into the crowds. It was a nice change, though. Today we head back to Redondo Beach, and I have to go to work tomorrow. This week, Chad and I have to take down all the Christmas decorations inside our house, the tree and the lights outside. This is usually the part of the holidays that I get bummed out about. It's always such a downer - taking all the pretty things down. This year, I'm not going to let myself get bummed out... what's the point? It's just wasted energy, right? Instead, I have decided to be excited to take everything down! Yeah! Whooo hoooo! Here is a nice picture of the view from Greg's house in Mammoth -- I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
