Good afternoon sports fans. I had meant to get this blog post out this morning but the evening went a bit harder than I thought with the family. So DJ lets kick this off with some music. Have you heard this song ‘Whatever’ by Kygo and Ava Max?
New Year, New Adventures: My 2026 Resolutions
As we bid farewell to another year, I find myself reflecting on the moments that shaped my 2025. It’s been a year filled with laughter, friendship, and countless memories, and I’m ready to embrace 2026 with open arms and a heart full of gratitude. This year, I’m declaring it the year of even greater fitness! I’m excited to push my limits, explore new workouts, and find joy in every drop of sweat. Whether it’s hitting the gym, going for long runs, or discovering invigorating outdoor activities, I’m committed to making fitness a fun and integral part of my life.
But fitness isn’t the only resolution on my list. I want to deepen my friendships and truly savor the time spent with those who matter most. Life can get busy, and it’s easy to let precious moments slip away. So, this year, I’m prioritizing quality time with friends—be it making time for a laugh, spontaneous adventures, or simply sharing a meal. I’m thankful for the friendships I’ve enjoyed this past year, and I look forward to creating even more unforgettable memories with my favorite people.
Creativity is also calling my name! In 2026, I’m determined to unleash my artistic side, especially through photography. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and the special moments that often go unnoticed is something I’m passionate about. I plan to experiment with new techniques, explore different styles, and let my imagination run wild. Plus, I’m thrilled to finally get my podcast off the ground this January! It’s a project I’ve been talking about for a while, and I can’t wait to share my thoughts, stories, and conversations with all of you.
With all these exciting resolutions, I have a feeling that 2026 is going to be a year of growth, creativity, and connection. Here’s to new adventures, cherished friendships, and the pursuit of passion! Let’s make this year unforgettable!
Christmas Eve/Christmas Recap
Having the entire family together, along with a few close friends, on Christmas Eve was truly delightful. The evening was filled with engaging conversations, cherished memories, and exceptional food. While there were a few questionable topics of discussion (not initiated by me), no one felt offended or left with hurt feelings. In fact, it may have even added a bit more character to the evening.
Christmas morning carries a bittersweet sense of nostalgia. I found myself awake several hours before anyone else arrived, allowing me some quiet time to reflect and write in my journal. It is on Christmas Day that I feel the absence of my parents most notably.
Rory vs JT
148 yards. 50 attempts. Can they make a hole-in-one? It’s a fun video.
McKinney Racing
Good luck to family friend’s Jim and Mike as they’re racing this week in Tulsa. In this video below all the vehicles were allowed to start and run their engines for five minutes.
Some footage of their competition. Video below taken by Jim’s fiancĂ©e Emma.
Lastly….
As we head into 2026, I’ll take a moment to remember those that we lost in this video tribute.
