The loooong list of Resolutions

Well here it is...2012.

I can't help but believe it's gonna be a great one!

(after all 12 is my favorite number...so it's bound to be great!!)

Now time for New Years Resolutions.

I've never been the best at keeping them.

With a few exceptions.

For instance back in the 7th grade my friend Tav and I decided to become vegetarians..and what do ya know it stuck!!

This year I have my list of resolutions. Here they are.

1. Live by the words "Carpe Diem." It is latin for seize the day and that is what I'm hoping to do this year. Live life to the fullest, take chances, look dumb, have no regrets!!

2. Accomplish at least one thing off of Pinterest weekly with Tav. She had the idea we do something whether it be a recipe, new hairstyle, really anything!! We're going to compare the original to how ours turn out haha.

3. Read the Bible daily. This one can be hard because I get busy. But as long as I can keep it at a steady pace. It's going to help my faith greatly and just see things differently :)

4. Accomplish at least one thing off of my Bucket List monthly. I have quite the Bucket List and I'm always adding new things. I better get crackin' haha.

5. Start collecting coupons. I see people save massive amounts of money with coupons..I wanna do that haha!!

6. Save my receipts. Hopefully this will help save me some money and get more organized.

7. Work out at least every other day. Enough said... time to get and stay healthy.

8. Get the tattoo (a butterfly) I want in Nashville. It's about time.

9. Save up for a "good" camera. Ahhh I want one so bad!!

10. Pay off Bills and Save more money.

11. Re-attempt "Project 365" basically take a picture a day...sounds easy right?? Sooo much harder then it sounds haha. This is the year though!!

There you have it. My loooong list of Resolutions...time to get crackin'

Any Resolutions???

Now is the time to start fresh and help better myself. Make me a better version of...me :)

Happy New Year!!

Gobble Gobble...

Finally I get to post about Thanksgiving!!! I wanted to post my "what I'm thankful for" list on Thanksgiving...buuut that day got rather hectic. And everyday after that was even more hectic....crazy busy I tell ya. So tonight I will share my lovely Thanksgivinh with you all :)

I started out Thanksgiving a night early with my girls :)) We had the crew back together. Caroline was home from Iowa and Naomi was home from Colombia. Let me tell ya when we all get together we laugh harder then a hyena on laughy gas. I swear we'll laugh at anything and I love it. In fact that is one thing I am truly thankful for...my friends. Who make me laugh so hard but yet are always, always, always there for me when I feel down. They show me love and compassion. God put them in my life for a reason. That Wednesday we made a pecan pie...quite yummy!! Also watched about every one of  "The Lonely Island" videos. Dirty?? A bit...funny??? Yessss so funny hhaa!! I love me some Andy Samberg, what a babe. Other then that we just did what we do best, have fun. It was a late night (early morning) with some amazing friends and I couldn't

think of a better way to ring in Thanksgiving then with those lovely ladies! I cannot wait until we are all together again...but that is gonna be quite some time.

Now time for Thanksgiving day with the family. I made my pumpkin fluff (so easy to make all you need is whipped cream and pumpkin pie mix, and stir) and it was soooo yummy! Then again I just love anything pumpkin....yummm pumpkin. We all went over to Grandma and Grandpas house for the feast. Yes I'll admit it is a tricky task being a vegetarian on Thanksgiving. Trying to find food with anything non-meat or gelatin related. Needless to say my plate looked pretty white. Filled with potatoes, butter buns, and cranberries (oh there's my color!) But that to me is quite tasty. Mann now I am hungry again. Needless to say I was filled to the gills..until pie time. There is always room for pie!! After pie we went to Dads's house...more food...and more pie. But hey it's on Thanksgiving once a year. I'm allowed to stuff my face. All of that food tired me out so I took a wonderful nap by the fireplace for about a half hour. That's about all the sleep I got for the next day or so. Black Friday I worked about 19 hours straight...yea. But I'll do a seperate post for Black Friday.

All and all this Thanksgiving was relaxing and much needed. Thanksgiving always hold a special place in my heart.

I am thankful for everything good in my life. I could make a list of over 100 but when it comes down to it everyday there is something new I am thankful for.

Hope all of your Thanksgivings went splendidly :)

....Now bring on Christmas....yayyayayyayayyyyy...!!!!!
