That Green Smoothie Tho...

I don't ever say tho...though :)

Here I am drinking my green smoothie thinking about New Year's resolutions...oh wait I'm already eating healthy and it's not even the New Year yet! Double points for me! 

Ok, ok... it's only because I know I'll be eating lemon meringue pie tonight and my dad made it for me. So really no double points for me. But hey it's better than nothing right??

I think back on this past year and wonder if I've grown any. I wonder if I have made any changes for the better. And well... I believe I have, but there is always room for improvement. For 2015 I don't want to just make resolutions, you know the things that will go on a list and sometimes stay there. I want to actually make personal changes that better me as a person and that can better people around me. And sometimes I think the best resolutions are to continue doing the things you're already glad you're doing.

LAST YEAR- We loved each other and went on dates.

THIS YEAR- I want to have more date nights, more spur of moment adventures, and overall more time together. To continue to grow in our marriage and improve in all aspects.

 LAST YEAR- I would text my brothers every month or so to say hi.

THIS YEAR- I will call them to have full conversations with them to catch up.

LAST YEAR- I would tell my parents I love them.

THIS YEAR- I want to really let them know how much I appreciate them and how much they really mean to me.

LAST YEAR- I lost two of the most important people in my life.

THIS YEAR-I will continue to remember them and continue to let loved ones in my life know how much they mean to me. I don't want to regret time that was lost with any of my loved ones.

LAST YEAR- I spent some time with my mom.

THIS YEAR- I want to do even more things together. Things that she enjoys and things that I enjoy doing.

LAST YEAR-I drank green smoothies

THIS YEAR- I need to drink even MORE green smoothies and really try to better my body's health.

LAST YEAR-I made some really great friends.

THIS YEAR- I want to stay keeping in touch and continue making lifelong friendships with them.

LAST YEAR- I went to the gym some.

THIS YEAR- Pretty simple...I'm going to go more.

LAST YEAR- I cherished the beautiful things around me.

THIS YEAR- I want to keep cherishing and take more pictures of my surroundings.

LAST YEAR- Dallin took the MCAT.

THIS YEAR- He won't be taking the MCAT....

because THIS YEAR- he will be going to medical school. I want to really make the best of this year and embrace the new adventure that we will be going on!

So cheers to the New Year and to bettering ourselves!

New Year Resolutions!

Every year I try to do the whole New Year Resolutions. Not once have a stuck through with them and actually done whatever it was 100%. This year though, it's a different story! Ok, ok...you never know what may come up, BUT I will be trying my hardest to do them! Wikipedia says: "A New Year's resolution is a commitment that a person makes to one or more personal goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit". 

These are my New Year Resolutions...

1. I want to become more consistent with adding to my savings. 

2. A lot of people make a resolution to lose weight, but I don't want to lose weight. I want to be healthier and become fit again. I was a lifeguard at the beach for 3 years and I miss the daily work outs we would do. So I would like to get back into that routine again. It has been hectic with the wedding and moving so I feel like I never had time. I will now! To go along with that, I have a goal of running another marathon this year! Anyone need a running buddy?!

3. Paint my apartment! I know that sounds silly, but I get so nervous to paint a room. I always feel like I'm going to choose a color too dark or just too wrong. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?? So that is something I want to do this year. Hopefully soon.

4. I want to learn how to speak Spanish! I keep saying I'm going to learn, but again that whole being an adult thing and having no time comes into play. Another thing I will try to work in!

5. Last one is to go on more dates with D. Even if it's having a picnic in our living room. At least it is something different.

{A fun picture we took for our engagements. We put on the back of our sign in book as a goodbye picture}

I hope everyone has a good New Years Eve! I will be loading up on chips and dip, wings, and who knows what other junk. I guess I'll have to go all out while I can. Last night to do it ;) And of course some monopoly deal, rummikub, and catch phrase with the family.

Have fun and stay safe!
