thoughts on the new year.

i have been thinking a lot about the new year and feel excited about all the possibilities it holds!  i have set some resolutions and thought i might share a few of them with you to make myself more accountable...

save, save, save.  i have never been good at this...and to start my saving i am going on a shopping freeze.  no more winter clothes!

exercise!  lately i have a bad habit of letting a terrible night of sleep or a mild headache sway me from getting my groove on via hip hop abs or turbo jam.  it's not good.  it's time for me to tighten up, as shown in one of my favorite clips...

organize!  my closet it scary and i need to get rid of some stuff that i haven't worn since high school.  yikes...

other little goals include developing my spirituality, helping my husband with his business {i'm going to be his accountant!}, reading at least 1 new book a month, taking a dance class, learning to bake bread, trying not to be so grumpy when i'm tired/hungry, learning more about heart defects and arrhythmias so i'm better prepared to take care of the little heart babies at work, trying lots of new recipes and in general just being a nicer wife/daughter/sister/friend.  

here we come 2011!

goodbye two thousand ten.

what a year, what a year.  i turned 23 {and got the best gift ever...a snuggie}, went on a fabulous vacation to oregon/washington with my isaac, celebrated 1 whole year of marriage bliss, graduated from nursing school and got my dream job as a pediatric nurse, and had a whole lot of fabulous food and laughs during the holiday season.  don't get me wrong, we've had our ups and downs...but i am truly happy.

i love this little blog --- thank you for reading it!  

happy new year!

see my 2009 recap here.

snow day.

it is a snowy mess here in the grand old state of utah.  a big blizzardy mess - at least it was last night...i haven't looked outside yet to see if it's still snowing.  i don't want to look because if it is still snowing it probably means my lunch at cafe zupas with some of my favorite friends will be canceled due to terrible driving conditions.  poop poop poop.  

i can't believe it's already december 30th!  i better make some new years plans real quick.  actually, i have made one plan and of course it involves eating delicious food.  i've been dying to head back to brunch at market street grill and i've already told husband it is a must on new years day.  i'm so excited.  as for new year's eve...i'm not quite sure.  anyone know anything fabulous going on in salt lake city?!  ha.  probably not, i'll have to get creative.

happy snow day my friends.

nye.
