Happy New Year!!

As last New Year's Day was gorgeous out, so was today - 65*!! We went (minus the dog) to find Mizscarlet's 12 Boxes of Christmas series but only found one - there were SO many people out on the trail that even though we were trying to be stealthy, we had to pass the first one by (too many people) and couldn't poke around enough for the third (too many people). We felt that we were actually attracting attention do our suspicious poking around so we're going to go back on another day.

Coming home, we grabbed the dog and took him to find Wizardland. It started out a bit hairy, as Joe fell and I thought twisted his ankle (but didn't); lost his sunglasses (I found them); and the dog HATED his new collar/leash/training thingy, so we were hindered by him rolling around trying to get it off. We did find the box, though - out in the open (argh!) - and we were first finders! My first first finder!

My first boxing-related resolution is to get out more and enjoy the hobby. I've been too focused on the house/work/dog/wedding that I need to remember to get out and enjoy the fun things in life! (I also need to pay more attention to this journal, as the updates have been few and far between.) However, if Team SuddenTurkey can go out boxing a week after their newest addition to the family was born (massive congrats to you!!) then I can put aside house cleaning (a la Hikers and Hounds and enjoy the hobby!
