Happy New Year!

I know I’m a little late, but Happy New Year everyone! I can’t believe it’s already 2013! 2012 was full of big changes. I started school at BYU-Idaho, got engaged, and started an internship.

I’m looking forward to everything this year has in store for me. It’s going to be super busy and hectic but, I’m ready to face it all. Justin is getting deployed in early March, I’m graduating college with a bachelor’s degree in communications in December, and I’ll be planning my wedding.  

Just call me superwoman! 

I started school this week, and it’s been great. I love all my classes and can’t wait to get started on all the fun projects I get to do. At first I wasn’t ready to go back to school because I was really enjoying my time in Florida, but I’m glad to get this semester started. One semester closer to graduating! 

Over the Christmas break I got to spend a lot of time with Justin. Every day we had something planned. We wish we had more down time to just relax, but we had fun.

Justin wanted a peek-a-boo picture. What a goof!

Our awesome gingerbread houses! We have skills!

He is such a sport for going to see a 3 hour long musical with me :)

New Year's Day before going to Ciytwalk

We met up with my sister and her boyfriend for dinner and karaoke. So fun!

At the beginning of a new year come resolutions to improve life. New Year’s resolutions have never lasted more than a month for me. This year, my New Year’s resolution will be to commit to my resolutions. I’ve really only made one to make it easy on myself. I want to be less of a complainer and be more optimistic. Stress likes to creep into my life and take over, so this year I’m going to change that. I may have picked the wrong year to start this optimistic journey, but I think I need to change my outlook on life now more than ever. 

Cheers to a new year!
