Giants vs Patriots

Well here we go, Super Bowl 2008! Eli Manning vs Tom Brady in another intense football game, where the only thing that I really see is the back of my husabnds head! Im sure that all the wives out there can relate...but I guess we've got to give them the one true thing that really really makes them happy (besides us of course!) An unforgetable season ending game! The only thing that is bumming me out this year is the fact that while Nate is heavily involved with who is making the next big play or the craziest tackle I get to think back 2 yrs ago and relive our wedding day! Thats right...our 2yr anniversary is on super bowl sunday! what the heck were we thinking when we set the wedding date! I shouldve known better! :) Hopefully I can bribe him to hold my hand during the commercial breaks! lol. I'll let you know how successful I am after the game!

Spin Class!

For those of you who are interested in working out super early in the morning..I take a spin/cycling class that starts at 5:45am mon, wed, and fri. at LA Fitness (power/rittenhouse location) !!! Feel free to join in on the "fun"! Its a great class, and a good way to start your morning!

Talk about CrAzY!

It's official! Im losing my mind! My sista' in laws and I, along with some close friends, are participating in a triathlon! Not just any triathlon, but the Las Vegas SPRINT traithlon that will take place in Nevada April 12th! It consists of 1mile swim,10mile bike, and then a 4mile sprint! Training is brutal, but i know that in the end it will pay off! But wait, theres more! I have a friend that is unfortunately not going to be able to go with us on our long journey to Vegas, so she asked me if I would want to sign up for a triathlon here in AZ march 22nd which is the Lake Havasu Sprint Triathlon, and of course I said yes! So I am now currently training 3-31/2 hours in the gym every morning (both with and w/out a personal trainer) trying to imagine myself getting through these next couple of months! Wish me luck! I'll keep ya posted! If anyone thinks that they are crazy enough to join, please do! its going to be a great adventure, the more...the merrier!

Here are some of our Christmas Pics that we never got to send out due to our Crazy lives! So, sorry for not sending you guys christmas cards...consider this "The Birch Family" christmas card for 2008!

Okay...so we didnt exactly party hardy on new years! We were both helplessly tied down to the couch due to the FLU! We didnt even make it to 10:30pm before we passed out! I think I may have woken up for a few seconds around 12:15am and thought to my self "happy new years!" thats was probably the most exciting part of the whole night, besides the theraflu drinking! I wouldnt have rather spent it with anyone else! Sick or not, my husband's a blast!

Christmas! We had a great christmas this year! Alot of our presents came early this year like the house we bought and the new car that Nate got me! However, we did save some things for christmas morning. Nate and I got each other an ipod (the new nano!), He also got me a Navigation system for my car! If you have driven in the car with me, you would definitely understand the importance of this gift! I got some other fun stuff as well...like clothes, shoes, pj's etc. Nate got 2 new pairs of really nice dress shoes, clothes, a new suit, a new desk etc. Needless to say, we each made out like a bandit, and couldnt be more appreciative for being blessed this year! I posted some pics of us over at Nates sisters house! Every year on christmas eve, "santa" comes to visit all the little nieces and nephews, to drop off everyones favorite gift...PJ'S! I love this tradition...and im so thankful for our families for keeping it alive after so many years!

PS. This is the day that we both woke up with the flu!!! Fun Fun!

Okay, since it has been forever since I last blogged, im going to start where I left off! Dec. was a BusyBusy month for us! Shopping, family events, preparing for Christmas, and all that jazz...However, right before Christmas, we went to Texas for an award ceremony that my work was holding...kinda like a mid dec. vacation! We had a blast!! I love the company that I work for and love the people that I work with! I sell health Insurance and ranked #3 in the nation, so i got to soak in alot of the trip, and I do have to say that if it wasnt for my hubby pushing me, then I wouldnt have accomplished the goals that I set for myself!! We cant wait to see what the 2008 year holds for us! More goals, and more WORK! Woohoo...i guess you can say that we are some of those crazy peeople that love to work! Probably a good thing to be addicted to! Anyway, they havent sent out pics yet, I will post them as soon as I get them!
