Bring on the Resolutions

It's that time of year when everyone starts making New Year's Resolutions. I've never been big on making resolutions, and I don't even remember the ones I made last year! But, this is the year I'm making and sticking to them!

I even got this super snazzy journal that I'm going to use to write down my resolutions in the front and then keep track of my progress throughout the year. I've got my own list and then Ben and I came up with some to accomplish as a couple.
Here's to the New Year and sticking to those resolutions!


New Year's resolutions are a bit like babies: They're fun to make but extremely difficult to maintain. ~Alyssa Sparacino

Year in Review

2010 has been a great year! A lot has happened and I have a lot to be thankful for. Here are my favorite highlights of the year…

~I got married to an amazing guy!
~My sister moved back to Colorado
~My brother in law walked away from a roll-over accident with just a few scratches
~I got to go to several football games- CU and the Broncos. I even got to go on the field for Broncos pre-game warm-ups
~Saw some great concerts!
~Ben and I moved into our first place together. And I think I’m FINALLY used to having a roommate!
~Got some hiking, camping, and picnicking in
~Had one last trip to visit my sister in San Diego
~Discovered some great new restaurants and the biscuit bus!
~My dad got a new job
~I went to Vegas and surprised the socks off my sister
~I’ve been blessed with another year surrounded by friends and family

Thanks for the great memories, and here's to the many more to come
