BUSY!

Wow.. This year has brought a ton of changes already! I started going into work a few times a week, leaving Nic with Mae for a few hours and they have so much fun together. I have been taking a ton of pictures and figuring out Photoshop (thanks to my awesome cousin Gabe <3) I have been sticking to my flylady pretty well, and I have to start packing here any day now. Not only have I been going into work but they are giving me more work to do which is awesome. Needless to say I have been NON STOP. I dont mind one bit and loving every second. January was probably one of the best months we have had in a LONG time. Many changes are coming our way and we couldnt be happier.

Im tired and wanting to go hang out with Nic so I'll leave this post short and sweet. Oh heres a picture from Kylahs birthday at Build-a-Bea.. I love Shalaynas face, and I love how Kylah looks at her as if Shes the only person in the whole world that matters :) Oh the love between a Mother and a Daughter is so amazing.

4 day weekend and Sedona

First thing Checked off my 104 things in 104 weeks!! woohoo!!

It feels like we have been non stop since the holidays and this past weekend we somehow managed a 4 day weekend! Nic had some random day off thing that he needed to use or something like that on Friday and my job was moving buildings so I had done all my Friday - Monday work on Thursday. So Friday and Saturday we lounged around the house and actually got a ton done. We ventured to Ikea Saturday and dreamed about our "perfect" house.

Sunday Nic decided we should get out of the house, of course I was all for it! So we packed up and drove out to Sedona. We had an amazing day! We decided that we needed to do things like this more often. We talked about so much and really reconnected again. And of course Mae had quality time with her "friend"

I love her chubby toes!!

 

We pulled over to look at the view... Seriously... hes Hott!! 

I love him <3

Then we stopped at a outside market thingy where they had a bunch of home decor srtuff and random things... but we looooved it.. I just loved the way they did this ally way.....

These were hanging everywhere! I wanted to buy one sooo bad!

Its a walking stick... and if it wasnt $150.00 Nic would have bought it...... Dork....

Nic actually took this picture!! it cracks me up because the indian has such character!

She was so tired!! but she did sooo good :)

Such a perfect day!

New Year, New Goals...

Every post from last year I said I would write more. I am SO mad at myself that I didn't. It was Mae's first year of life and I wanted to document her accomplishments. But of course I slacked and didn't keep up at all. (who woulda thought right!?)
Anyway this is a new year and I have decided to change a lot in my life. I have never been a very organized person. I'm not a slob but I don't keep everything "perfect" like I would like. Well that worked just fine until I had a baby. I realized that it is a LOT harder to keep everything up with a little one in tow. I looked up ideas and found Flylady.net and many different blogs that have really helped me this first year as a Stay at Home mom. I have pretty much figured out everything I need to do. Now I just need something to keep me accountable. (Enter blog!)
So this is the year I get it down. I made a list of things that I want accomplished in the next 2 years. It's actually 104 things in 104 weeks. (2 years) The list is way too long to put on here so I thought I would just put a few on here now and as I cross them off my list I will update the blog. So here we go.....

Update Blog at least 3 times a month
Lose 50 lbs (I started the list at the begging of December and so far lost 10 of those lbs sooo 40 more to go!)
Go to San Fransisco
Pay off all Credit Cards
Get Family Pictures done
Start my own Photography Business (anyone want to get pictures done for free right now? let me know!)
Do Dave Ramsey classes online
Make weekly meal plans
Get a Tattoo
Organize Garage
Date night once a week
Get Pregnant (this is probably going to be at the end of the 2 years ha!)
Figure out where we will settle down.

This is just a few for now. I will accomplish as many as possible, and hopefully this blog will keep me accountable. Im excited for whats to come!

Just have to add one picture... seriously how freaking cute is she!?
