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!

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
