I'm It Again!

Thanks to my sister, Bobbi, I have been tagged again, but in a different way. Here I go again.

2. DID YOU KEEP YOUR NEW YEARS’ RESOLUTIONS, AND WILL YOU MAKE MORE FOR NEXT YEAR? I did keep one, to get in shape, but it took until we started a competition with Shane, his sisters, and his mom in November to actually accomplish it.
