Weekend fun

I have really been missing my blog! I love to do posts, but I don’t want to bore people with my “boring” life when I have nothing to talk about. I have been working a lot lately, and working on a wedding invitation design for my mom’s friend, and not eating right (go figure). I did however lose 10 lbs in the first week of my diet, and then fell off the band wagon. I am not giving up though! I won’t give up this time! I NEED my hunter boots, ok well maybe not need them but I really want them and I won’t buy them until I have lost the weight to get that reward. Yes, I am doing the “reward” system for myself, because losing weight should be something I am proud of and I think that if people are rewarded when they achieve a goal they are more likely to succeed in the long run. So that is an update on the weight loss part of this. Moving on!

Jesse finally got me new chalk for my chalk boards! I was so excited because I was stuck drawing on the white board at work, but not anymore! I did this last night when I wasn’t feeling good, so I didn’t take my time at all I just wanted to break in my new chalk and then Kylie decided to draw on both of my boards tonight rather than the blank one.

We (Jesse mainly) have been lucky enough to get to spend time with Kylie (my best friends daughter) two times a week, and because I had the day off today we did a craft. It didn’t turn out how I planned it to, but what do you expect with a 2 year old. The picture turned out cute anyways, and I had a big mess to clean up after. I wanted to take pictures, but unfortunately I was covered in paint too and didn’t feel like scrubbing paint off my phone once we were done.

Not much too really update on, it’s hard to believe that January is already almost over!

New Year, New Me!

I try to keep my posts VERY real and down to earth, I hate when I read a blog or anything for that matter where the "people are perfect". I am far from perfect and I don't ever want to be perfect. The imperfections are what make us all so unique and special, and I hope I never come across in a way where people think I have a perfect life.

I hate making resolutions! I hate them with a passion, most of the time because I make very unrealistic ones. With that being said I decided this year to make some more realistic ones and reward myself when I have completed them(more so for weight loss).

So this year I vow to actually lose get rid of the weight because I don’t plan for it to EVER find its way back to me, and I've made it known to my family, friends, a few co-workers, and now all of you so I will be held responsible, when I try to stuff my face with those yummy Oreo cupcakes I make or when I’m having a bad day and try to eat my weight in food. No more! This will be the year I do it, because I really want to get a pair of those cute Hunter Rain Boots, but my calves are too fat to fit into them right now (maybe not, but that’s what I keep telling myself). So I vow not only to lose weight to look good but to be healthy. Not just for me but for my husband, and our future kids. I will try to do an update maybe once a month for the weight loss stuff.

I vow to TRY to be a better wife to my husband. Lord knows I am not the nicest to him. He is so good to me, and doesn't complain at all too much, when I get mad at him. He is my rock, best friend, and the love of my life and I need to show that a heck of a lot more to him because it’s us against the world!

I vow to be a better Christian. Growing up I ALWAYS went to church every Sunday and Wednesday. And I loved it, but the older I got, church and GOD didn't seem as important to me. I realize that I need GOD in my life. I am a lot happier and more at peace with myself when I do go to church. So with the New Year I vow to make GOD and the church a priority in my life.

And last but not least I vow to be a better person, to make time for just me, to be a better daughter and sister, to not fly off the handle when something doesn't go my way. To not be selfish, and rude, to be quick to listen and slow to speak, to not be so angry with my family when they do something I don’t like. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
