Happy New Year

2013 is behind us and 2014 is here!  There are two things I try to do for my resolutions every year and I never get very far with either of them.  This year, I feel like I'm FINALLY getting control of one of them so I'm making my New Years Resolution the other one:  to get healthy and lose weight.  No more excuses!  I am getting back on MyFitness Pal, because I found that extremely helpful in the past, I'm getting back on the elliptical, and I'm cutting out all of the crap I've been eating.

I learned a lot in 2013.  I learned that it's easy for some people to completely give up on the ones their supposed to love and  I learned that when I'm hurt, I have a really hard time letting it go.  I learned that family, real family, will ALWAYS be there.  I know that being connected by blood doesn't mean family.  Being there for each other, loving each other, and not hurting each other is what family is.  I also learned a lot of positive things.  I know that in a crisis, my husband and I make a strong team.  We can get through anything because we have each other.  I learned who my real, true friends are.  I know who will stick by me and support me, and I'm fortunate to have such awesome girls on my side.  I learned that you're never too old to make new friends.  There are some awesome girls who have recently come into my life and I love getting to know them.  I think we're going to be friends for life.  There are a lot of things I learned about myself this year.  Some things to be proud of and some that need work.  So that's what I'll be doing from now on.  Working on becoming a better person and becoming the best wife, mother, daughter, and friend I can be.  I have an awesome little family and there's too much good here to let the negative affect us.  So here's to 2014!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I had my usual, mellow New Years Eve with my mom and Lauryn.  Good food, yummy cider cream, a movie and Dick Clark.  No hangover, no regrets....does it get any better than that?

I always try to make resolutions.  Honestly, I'm not very good at keeping them but I have the best intentions.  :)  This year is no different.  There are two resolutions I am going to try very hard to keep.  One is to lose weight and get healthier.  The other is something I've wanted to do for but won't be mentioning here.  Good luck to anyone out there who is making resolutions and trying to keep them!

I just saw a commercial for those payday advance loan places.  That must be nice for people who need money now and can't wait until payday.  Personally though, I don't know if that would be good for me.  It kind of seems like one more person/bill I'd have to keep track of.
