HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Suzy Preston and I....isn't she just too cute?! I know it's a bad pic of me, but I am secure in myself. :) New Years Eve John and I went to a party at my Pastor's house and had a great time. We got to hang with Suzy and Matt (from The Biggest Loser, for those of you who don't know). I just love Suzy and am enjoying getting to know the new her! That was the second time I met Matt, but the first for my husband, they played some poker (not for money)..too bad, we were trying to get Matt to buy in with $250,000! :) It was a very fun New Years party, lots of great friends and wonderful food! A friend took some more pictures, when she e-mails them to me, I'll post them.
John had just got home that day from being a drill sergeant at an academy in Yakima for almost 6 days. I missed him SOOOOOO much! So, we skipped out of the party a little early, and went to a movie. We just wanted to be alone, it was really nice. We rung in the New Year during the movie! :) We had a great time, I am so happy to have him home.
My fellow blogger and very dear friend (since Junior High!), Sabrina. This was taken during her visit here for Christmas. It was SO nice to see her and her precious family! Love you Sis!
On another note, last night we took Josiah to see Narnia (his 2nd time, our first). We LOVED it. Those of you who know C.S. Lewis know that this story is really the story of Christ (Aslan). It was very emotional to me. I don't want to give anything away if you haven't seen it. But, I totally felt the presence of God during that movie. I don't cry often in movie theatres, but I had tears streaming down my face. There was a part where I just wanted to have a worship service right there in the movie theatre! :) All I can say is, go see this movie!

Hey, Suzie looks great. Just one question about Matt. Im sure you can figure it out. Or are they just friends? Let me know.
WOW, Suzy does look amazing. They had the whole season on yesterday and I watch about 4 hours and cried at almost every ending. Tell her congratulations!
Amelia! I think this is the first time you have left a comment on my blog! I am honored :). Yes, Suzy and Matt are dating. They are totally out about it now that the show is over. They were on Larry King the other night together, and in People magazine (Best of 2005) there is a full page spread on their romance. They are cute. He is shy and she is bubbly, funny and just the life of the party. She is truly an amazing person, and she really loves the Lord.
Also in the newest People magazine that says "half their size" there is a great 3 page spread on Suzy, Matt and the 2nd place winner Seth. It has some cute pictures of them. :) It's an inspiring article as well.
I think that is so cool that you are friends with Suzy. I know she knows how much she has inspired people everywhere but please let her know that she has one more fan! I too cried along with her and everyone else and was so hoping she would win the money, but from the looks she won a lot more things that are more important than money. Love your pictures over the holidays! O and love your comment about Joan of Arc! I cracked up laughing, you are really creative. :)
Okay, so there is cute Suzy, and then your scroll down and see me, not at my best! Ugh. :) Well, I love you and glad you had a great New Year. Mine was VERY uneventful!
Sis, well at least YOUR not IN that picture with super cute Suzy!!! :)
April, of coarse I will pass on your message. I know Suzy doesn't tire of hearing that she has inspired someone. :) Bless you for your sweet spirit.
It looks like you had fun at the party! I am glad you and John got some alone time, that is always nice. Tell him "hey" for me...
Ok so I read the Tony Allen blog & man is he FUN-NEY!!! I wish I had that sort of wit in my blog. Sheesh... I"ve got some pretty heavy competition now! Too bad he doesn't post all that often.
Jess you Rock! Thank you for your kind words.
That's an awesome picture of you and Sabrina, I love it.

Jess, You look hot in this picture!
Jess
Just want to tell you Thank You for all the kind words you leave on my blog. Even though it has been a long time since we've seen one another, it seems just like yesterday. It is nice to know that friends don't have to disappear over time.
Love Ya
Rachel
