OH NINE!

So my blogging abilities in '09 have been somewhat lacking....somewhat meaning quite a bit, so I thought I would update all my peeps on whats going on in the life of Yelyah's Corner.

Probably the coolest thing I have done this year is sleep in a cave. This was so much fun! My friend Matt and Rachel invited me to come on this amazing adventure. Matt brought his projector, and we watched movies all night! We also slept in till noon, because the cave was so dark that we really didn't have much concept of time.

I also found out that I am terrified of Mountain Lions. I kept waking up all night and whispering to Brandon asking him if he heard that sound that sounded like some kind of animal...I think he was annoyed, and I was very much paranoid. Luckily I survived the could of been attacks by the Mountain Lions, because they left us alone, and we were safe!

Anyhow the cave was pretty cold, and we were all pretty dirty when it was all said and done, but it was so so much fun!

My first big accomplishment is I overcame my addiction to Diet Dr. Pepper. I have not had one for over 2 months, and I am feeling so amazing. I have been an addict for years, drinking a Super Big Gulp every day! Anyhow I am finally sleeping at night, and I actually drink water now which they say you should do!

My 2nd accomplishment of '09 is that I have lost about 23 pounds this year. I am getting super excited to start running outside, playing tennis, and going hiking! woot woot!
