Exhausted..

I know it has been several weeks, but it has been a crazy few weeks and we have been busy trying to move out and make our new house a home. Stick with me, and in another few weeks, hopefully we will be all unpacked and painted in our new home. We finally just got our furniture in yesterday, but it is more of an oversized modern art piece than a functional space. I will be sure to post pictures once it is complete, and come back with some new/original content.
Until next time

2013

I know this is a common topic today, but I think it is important to set goals rather than resolutions. I feel like goals have a higher probability of being achieved. They give you something to work for, and are often a little less vague. Here are my personal goals for 2013:

1. lose the weight: I keep telling myself that I need to eat better and start getting in shape. I am the only one standing in my way. I shouldn't only do it for me, but also to set good examples for others. I need to establish healthy habits now before we have children so they can see healthy lifestyles.

2. make our new house our home: there is going to be a lot of work to do once we get into our new house, but making it home will be the fun part. I can't wait to have friends over and enjoy the space with people we love.

3. learn something new:  I want to take a class or being reading non-fiction. I crave knowledge. I don't think I have the patience right now to go back for my masters, but until then I don't want to just let life slide by.

4.  travel: whether they are just small weekend/day trips, I want to go experience new places. There is so much out there, and while the couch is super inviting... its not good just sit there.

5. be less critical:  I often find myself being rather judgemental/critical of others.. it isn't that I mean to. I am just a perfectionist and I tend to see flaws everywhere. I need to start looking for the bright spots and the good in people/situations. I think I would be a lot happier if life wasn't experience through such a cynical point of view.


Here is to hoping that 2013 will be our year and bring us all a ton of happiness and love!
