My thoughts on the New year

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the New Year. To me January 1st feels brand new, the slate is wiped clean and everything is reset.It's a time to start fresh. If I didn't accomplish it last year then I throw it in the mix of things to get done this year, however its level of importance is not yet determined until I put it up against the new things I want to get done this year.

Now don't be confused, I hate NO I loathe the months of January and February, reason being, it doesn't seem to matter where you are these month are just not nice and either they're cold or wet or both. YUCK

*Side Note* Mandi am I allowed to copy you and put colored words in my blogs?

My 1st year of marriage was also the first year I ever made a New Years Resolution, annnnnnnnnd I never accomplished it. Why you ask ? Well, because I had forgot that I had made a resolution whoops :)

Last year I made 2 resolutions

1. To lose the the weight that I gained when I went on the Depo Shot (a.k.a. birth control a.k.a. horrible nightmare that no women should consider as an option) My Doctor, who was a man, made the suggestion because I was having bad side effects caused by other types. He said this had no bad short term side affects. For women WIEGHT GAIN IS A SERIOUS SIDE EFFECT. Anyways I gained 15lbs on that and last year I accomplished my 1st resolution to lose that wieght woohoo

2. To do something for myself. When I moved here I felt like I left everything that I loved to do in Kelowna and was having a difficult time. So I started taking classes to become an Education assistant. I'm still working on it and loving it. It's a slow process because I'm working a the same time but I'm in no hurry. So Resolution #2 accomplished/ in progress

This years resolutions are less about me and more about us (Us being me and my hubby)

1. Spend less time working and more time making memories.

2. Be intentional. Joel's a fairly die hard man who loves adventure, and I pout. I pout because I wish we loved to do more of the same things. So we've agreed to meet in the middle, I'll do more of the things he loves without pouting (assuming he can remeber that unlike him I have not walked on Glaciers, slept in snow huts, climbed mountins and so much more) and he'll try not to yawn and fall a sleep doing the things I like to do. Good deal, I think so, but I'll let you know next year :)

anyways, there are my thoughts on the new year. I know the new year brings something different for everyone, one of my BFs dread it, and for some it probably doesn't matter one way or the other but for me I LOVE IT
