It's the little things...

In my last post... I did a little funk vent. I'm not going to lie that I've been in a serious funk lately... and probably the main reasons are:

1. The Holidays are overrr.... noooooo! 

2. It' s freezing cold.... i.hate.it.

3. Summer is so far away....

4. Saving..Saving.. Saving.. no Playing..Playing..Playing..

and the next one is probably what really threw me into this funk...

5. We have to wait 2 more months until we move out... (help me)

So... combine them all, and I'm just in a funky mood everyday.

Due to certain circumstances... we have to wait another 2 months to move. It has its pros and cons. The biggest pro being we have longer to save up.. the biggest con being that.....

Did you get that?

(sigh)

Although we still have a few more months, I am still in packing mode. I just don't want to wait until the last minute, I want as much done as possible so it is not as stressful and we can just grab everything and get the Hell out. You can see how my packing mode is.... this is a text to my husband from this past weekend.. 

So, today I thought that I would try and focus on the little things that get me through... besides asking God everyday for patience (which is a struggle for me)

Here are my little things...

Coffee... sometimes I don't know what I would do without it.

TickleFights with my husband... it can get rough/crazy, but totally worth it.

Nature walks... been trying to get out as much as possible when the temperature peaks 40

Bargain shopping with the little money I can spend.

I totally wave my shit around like that too....

 My cute, adorable, very loving pup. Just look at those eyes.

There is probably more... but I'll stop here for now.

It's the little things that are going to keep me from pulling my hair out... completely.

Another week down....

I feel like I'm in this constant routine of blah....

Wake up... Rush to work... Work... Have a dull 1 hour lunch...Go home... Eat (healthy and boring)...relax, possibly do some cleaning (or not), or workout... lay in bed for hours... Get any good sleep I can get, which is rare.. and then Wake up and do it all over again.

Boring... as I shake my head.

I need some excitement in my life.... anyone know where I can find some?

One thing the Hubs and I are trying to do is be more active and do more activities, such as hikes and so forth. Kind of hard with it being flippin freezing cold... as I described in my previous post.

I'm over Winter... and it has only just begun really. It puts me in a funk, a serious funk. I need sun to keep my happy... I should probably move to Florida (jealous frown on my face)

sigh..... Florida....

Maybe a vacation would do me good...

Oh, that's right... I'm saving every penny I can... scratch that.

Someone give me some push to get out of this funk....

It is my best friends birthday today... Shout out to Alex... Happy Birthdayyyy! So, maybe I will treat myself to some birthday cake... (screw you diet.)

An outing with my love...

Over the New Years weekend... my husband wanted to go on a hike.. pretty bad.

I was a little hesitant.. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love taking hikes in the woods, but it was windy and really cold..but trying to continue with my resolution to be a great wife - I agreed.

So, we went to the local park that has a good amount of hiking trails. As soon as we get out of the car, I'm already freezing (and I did dress accordingly)

We walked about 4 minutes and it started to snow, I just looked at him and he laughed...

I did eventually warm up and it turned out to be a beautiful hike...

A Brand New Year

It's hard to believe that it is already 2012....

And I sit here and wonder where 2011 went? But, I think it was lost in the mix of wedding planning, which consumed most of my 2011 since getting engaged in February. It was a great year.... but even though I had one of my most memorable moments thus far in my life (getting married to my best friend!) I think 2012 might hold even more memorable moments.

For starters... we will finally be moving out... this is long over due... and much needed. I believe this is what I look forward to most at this time.. but who knows what else is in store for us.

I won't try and bore you with resolutions and such... everyone has them (usually the same old be healthier, lose weight,etc)... mine are pretty simple and attainable. In 2011 I already started my journey to lose weight and be healthier, so I am going to continue this trend into 2012. I still have a ways to go... but I intend to amp it up a little.

In a nutshell... here is what I hope to accomplish in 2012...(not necessarily importance order)

1. MOVE OUT
2. Be a great wife
3. Reach my goal weight and change my lifestyle
4. Get a promotion or excel in my job
5. Be more active
6. Document more (through pictures or posts)
7. Be more generous
8. Pick up a new hobby
9. Visit a new place
10. Have open arms to change

These are what I hope to accomplish this year.. I think they are pretty doable... hopefully in 2013, I'll be able to come back and reflect on these goals and see how I've done.

Happy New Years everyone!
