-- Resolutions --

If you guys missed my guest post this week, I thought I would share my resolutions here as well just in case!

Its New Years Resolution time!! Ahh time to make promises to ourselves we will keep for a week!! So this year I decided to chose things that I really feel like I can accomplish and stick with. Possibly something that is not required everyday. I am going to start out with the most common goal....

1. Do some physical activity-at least- once a week.

I'll be honest. I have been blessed with my dads genes. I have a somewhat high metabolism. In high school I ran for the cross-country team, and maintained a 120 lbs. average. (Did I just break a rule of womanhood of revealing my weight?) Sad to say, I have gained some weight since college and being married. In our house, you will not find a scale. I am almost certain that if I did know my weight I would most likely be running right now instead of blogging. I also used to be a little bit of a health freak, for like a week! Really though, I have been much more concerned about my health since I have been married and have been thinking of having a family. So this is something I feel I can do.

2. Handle my money better.

I fell almost like it was a big sign to me this Christmas when one of the presents I got from my parents was this book.

I had heard of him, and we did get one of his books for our wedding as well, so I guess we will just have to try it out. We are going to be having some big money spending decisions soon with buying a house and starting a family. I feel like we really need to start at least consider saving our money. Haha.

Finally.....

3. become a better blogger.

I started blogging after we got married in May. I figured it would be a good way for family and friends to keep up with our happenings. Also, I moved away from most of my friends, so I thought it would be a great way to meet some new people, and boy! I have!!! In the last month or two months I have definitely stepped up my game, but I am still in need of a little help!!!

Sooooo, If you have any tips or pointers. ANYTHING really, please share what you think. Also, once I reach 50 followers I will be having a Lia Sophia jewelry giveaway!!

What are some of your resolutions??

Year in Review 2012

I woke up today thinking that I would need to go in to work, and I got a text from my boss saying I didn't need to!! Oh how happy I was. So I sat in my pajama's and watched some How I Met Your Mother for a good few hours, then decided to start taking Christmas down.

Holy! I started out with one box of Christmas stuff and now am up to four. FOUR! I also finally sat down and took the time to go back through this year and compile some pictures from this year! man it was good.

Spent lots of time in Manti with my family // Went to Jazz games, and I kept waiting for a ring ;) // Jake went snowmobiling as much as he could // and took me with

February 8th. He finally asked me to marry him // I had just got out from the dentist, but I didn't care, I was so surprised! // v-day Jake took me to Lady Antebellum // spent lots of time with our niecy Kyah Bear

I got crafty, and started doing wedding stuff. Made my own veil // Went to the little sister, Marina's, prom // got our engagements taken // and doesn't he look hott!?!?!?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! -- and Guest Post

Happy New Years Everyone!!!

I really hope that you all had a super fantastic night!!!!!!

We had so much fun spending time with family, eating, playing games, watching all the little kids dance and show they mad skills, rang in the new year with friends, FINALLY got to kiss Jake at Midnight, and watched some That 70's show.

Last year I was new to all of Jakes friends, we felt awkward to kiss in front of everyone, and I was secretley waiting for him to propose to me! It didn't happen.

2012 was great to us. We got engaged, planned a wedding, went to many concerts, spend lots of time with both our families, GOT MARRIED! started my blog, went on lots of trips, got a new car, went to lots of weddings, watched many movies, became sunday school teachers, got a new job..... and LOTS LOTS MORE!!!!   this is a year I won't forget!
