Friday's Letters

Dear Texans,
WHY did you have to lose on Sunday to the Colts??!!  I mean my goodness you have been number one all year, and now you are the number 3 seed in the playoffs!  GUH!!  That means that instead of having a first round bye ya'll are playing Saturday while I am at the Bridal Extravaganza.  I am a sad Texans fan!!  But I still love ya'll.

Dear Bridal Extravaganza,
I am ready to rock you!!  Richelle and I are totally ready to party!!  I am super excited to be hanging out with you all day on Saturday. 

Dear Future New Home,
Find me.  I need to find a new house asap and if would be awesome if you just helped me out a little bit and contacted me.  I am just saying it is stressful looking for a house....hook a sister up!

Dear Self,
Get your butt in gear and start planning your wedding!  Uhhh May is not very far away at all so you don't have much time!  GET ON IT!!!

Happy New Year!!! 13 Resolutions for 2013 Link Up

Happy New Year!!  I honestly can't believe that it is 2013 already!!  I love the new year.  It is a time where you can start over and change your life.  Last year I didn't make any resolutions, and it just felt wrong.  So now I am back to making resolutions and that makes me happy.  So I am linking up with Sarah@ Love, Sarah K and Andrea@Mostly Happenstance for a 13 Resolutions link up. 

1. Stop drinking sodas and energy drinks for a year.  I have done this before and did GREAT, but I am convinced that I am an addict.  Like I will say that I will only have one coke....and OMG I can't stop drinking them.  Just say NO to sodas and energy drinks! 

2. Lose 50 pounds.  That might sound like a lot, but I have a year to do it.  I have just got to get my butt in gear.  I am going to start working out...stop laughing...I really am!! 

3. Start a healthy eating lifestyle.  This will go hand in hand with my weight loss resolution.  I am going to start cooking my meals and not eating out as much.

4. Plan a beautiful but affordable wedding.  I have to get on this one ASAP...considering my wedding is in MAY!!!  Hahaha.

5. Get a house with Dustin.  I am excited about this one.  I can't wait to start my new life with him! 

6. Get a job.  This one is super important!  I need a job like yesterday!  I am going to work hard on this one!

7. Read 30 books.  Last year I read 20 books just 10 books shy of my 30 book goal.  I am really going to try harder to read more.

8.  Do more pinterest crafts.  I want to have a wedding and home full of pinterest things.  I have so many things pinned, I just need to make time to do them. 

9. Take Ashton on a great vacation.  We are already planning a trip to Virginia and Washington DC in March, so I just need to make sure this happens!  I want to take him to all the popular Smithsonian Museums and the National Zoo. 

10. Start a new tradition.  I am making a jar that we can put different notes in through out the year, and we will read them next New Year's Eve. 

11. Make time for my blog.  I want to grow my blog and be a great blogger.  That means I need to make time to blog.  At night I need to start pre-writing blogs. 

12. Strengthen my relationship with God.  I need to find a good church family and really start getting closer to the Lord.  I think that is very important in having a happy life.

13. Work on loving myself.  It is time for me to be happy with me.  I am getting married this year and in order for me to have a great relationship, I need to love me.  So this is the year that I stop downing myself all the time, and start loving myself. 

What are your resolutions??  No matter what your resolutions are this year, make sure that you make 2013 a great year!!

Dear Readers,
I promise to start really writing more blogs.  I am going to start dedicating more time to my blog!

Dear Sponsors,
You all have an extra free month.  And I will be emailing you all very soon with some fun stuff!! 

Dear Christmas,
I am sad that you are over, but I had an amazing Christmas!!

Dear Wedding,
Plan yourself a little.  I am just saying LOL.  No I am actually having fun planning you. 

Dear Self,
Time to get your butt in gear.  The new year is the perfect opportunity to start focusing on you and making yourself happy.  You have a wedding in 5 months, and you wanna look SEXY!!!  Ha ha so get it together! 

Dear 2012,
You had a lot of downs, but you also had a lot of ups.  I am very ready for 2013!! 

I have been a terrible blogger this week.

I have been so very busy with life that I have just not had time to sit down and blog.  BUT that is all going to change ASAP!!  I will be making time to blog.  There is no reason that I can't dedicate at least an hour a day to my blog, I mean all I do at night is watch silly shows.  So this is my promise to you, I promise that I will be a better blogger.  I appreciate all of my followers and I want to give ya'll some awesome things to read!!

Now I am off to the mall to finish my Christmas shopping!!  Wish me luck!

A day of silence

My heart was ripped apart on Friday when I heard of the Sandy Hook tragedy.  As a mom of a school aged child it really hit home.  My son is my world and I can't imagine how the families are feeling right now.  My thoughts and prayers are with them and I will be observing the day of silence in remembrance of the victims.
