Resolutions

It's time to play catch up over here on the blog. I've been gone for awhile and it's time to get back. Life is crazy and going too fast and I want to remember it! I thought it'd be appropriate to start with my new years resolutions. At the end of the year, Sammy and I sat down and made our resolutions. I tried to make mine as simple as possible, without cutting myself short. I made sure they were things that I could attain. So, here are my resolutions for the year!
1. Finish a book of scripture cover to cover. I decided to go with the Old Testament this year. Things are getting pretty crazy in there, and I'm only in Genesis. 

2. Finish a draft of a story. Every time I make goals, I've always said that I'm going to finish a book. And that just isn't attainable for me at the moment! I'm in school, working, being a wife, and so many other things. So, I feel that finishing a rough draft is something that I'll be able to actually achieve!

3. Fit back into my wedding dress. When they say you gain weight when you get married, it's sadly true. I want to get back into my dress so that Sammy and I can do a photo shoot with a professional photographer in our wedding clothes! The pictures from the day were great, there just wasn't time to get pictures of just the two of us. But anyway, I want to get into better shape.

4. Work on my anger. Lately, I've noticed that I'm just a big ball of anger, at everything. It's not something I'm proud to admit or like about myself. I want to be a much more loving, understanding person and not this angry mess. 

5. Love myself. After it being pointed out multiple times by many people, it's finally hit me that I have a problem. A big one. I may always seem happy and bubbly on the outside, but on the inside, I really need some work on loving myself. This one is going to be the hardest of my goals, but I'm making baby steps. 

6. Run a mile without feeling like death. This goal goes with #3. Whenever I have to sprint to catch the bus, I feel like I'm going to die. I have visions about what my fellow bus riders will do with me after I pass out. And I've always hated running, but admired greatly those who do it. So, this is something I really want to achieve!

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
