Happy New Year! 2015- Here I Come!!

My Goals for 2015

Every year I start off with the same goals:
Get skinny, save money, go to church.. Blah blah blah. 

This year, I'm making new ones. And I am going to make each one of them happen. 

Are you ready? Here we go.

1. Pay my tithing. Do my part in everything I do. Whether it be cleaning up after dinner, or helping in my community. I will learn to love others through serving them. 110% I will go above and beyond.

2. Run a 5k. Just being healthier overall. Training my body to wake up at a decent time and go to bed early. I want to be able to run around the block with my little Lucy and be able to actually RUN with her. I want to eat healthier and have the will power to say no if I know it's not good for me. I will drink more water. I will feel confident in my own skin. This is my year.

3. Travel. I will make it to NYC this year. I also want to go to Scotland. I watched the Outlander series on TV and have fallen in love! Not only with Jamie, but with the beautiful scenery and I want to know more about the country; and maybe if I'm lucky, meet a yummy Irish boy to bring home! ;)

4. Read more books. Spend less time on the internet. I will unplug from the world at least once a day for at least 2 hours. I want to read books of all genres! Any suggestions? 

5. Organize my life. Make my bed everyday. Keep a clean car. Throw away anything that no longer has a place in my home or my life. I will learn to love the act of organizing so that I can enjoy the final product on a daily basis. 

6. Keep a budget. I want to get out of debt and lower my stress levels by learning how to manage money. 


So there we have it.  I'm ready to start the year off on a new beginning.  I'm ready to fall out of love with my current comfort zone and fall in love with a new and better one.

Well, Here Goes Nothin.

How does one start a blog? Am i too late to jump on this bandwagon? Yeah? oh well, everyone scoot over and make some room.

So, a bit about me. I am a lover of dogs, babies, and all things pink. Despite what you may gather from the name of the blog thing up there ^^, I hate tomatoes. I dream of traveling to Scotland to meet a man and fall in love and live happily ever after, but until then, I will be satisfied living here in the Great Salt Lake City. I will spend my days working a comfortable job, watching the Disney Jr. channel, and wiping clean the face of the little human that calls me Mom.

I was at the grocery store last night with the above mentioned creature. I had finally convinced her to ride in the basket (I may or may not have bribed her with an ice cream cone) and while we were in the produce section looking for something decent to make for dinner, she looked right at me and said, "Mom, I want tomatoes for dinner." 

UGH! "I love cherry tomatoes.", she said. The way she said it made ME want to love tomatoes. That's why I'm writing this. The little girl that came into my life, so unexpected, has given everything I do an entirely new perspective. 

So here I am. Writing (typing..?) the little things that Lucy does on a daily that amaze me. 

Here we go. 
Lets make it an adventure!
