Cody told me over and over again that he owned the movie, after moving in we still didnt find it. so that night we bought it and watched it. it was nice laying on the sofa and watching this with him. it was really funny and i recommend you to watch it. i will admit that i fell asleep at the end. but i always fall asleep when i watch movies at night! we were tired, he fell asleep, too!

040. Make puppy chow with my mother-in-law. COMPLETED OCT. 3, 2009
- it was so nice making this! it was the night after cody and i got married. it was cool because she was super patient. about a year prior to this mara and i had tried to make it. by the way puppy chow is the chocolatey-peanut buttery chex cereal stuff hhaha. its so good. i think the recipe is behind the chex box. anyways, mara and i tried to make it and some how.. it didnt work out. :) butttt this time it came out perfect and it is so easy! i made some more this week but it was with the wheat chex and it didnt come out as yummy. that or it was stale! ha!

049. Visit at least five other states.
- I went to New Mexico for my cousin Mimi's wedding. the wedding was so beautiful. beautiful bride! it was nice. We did have a layover in Houston but i wouldnt consider that visiting the state.

- We are all going on a cruise in April '10, so i sent out for my new passport last weekend!

053. Keep up with a planner/calendar.
- I should really un-italicize that. BUT i am going to try in the new year!

063. Bake one thing a month for a year.
- I told you about the puppy chow. The Banana Chocolate-Chip Bread was really yummy! there were some scares while making it considering it was the first thing i everrrr baked! i was proud of myself though. baking has been my favorite so far! This saturday im making football cookies for cody and jj, the big cowboys vs saints game will be on (GO SAINTS!) and my cookies will say "LACES OUT DAN" **if you dont know where that is from, please go watch ace ventura. now.
