Hockey Games and Life

So I do have a good excuse for not blogging in like forever. I have just been busy with life. Now that I have started my online classes and new responsibilities at work since certain co-workers are going off and getting married and finding better life's other then working at the Y.M.C.A. (I know its kinda hard to believe.) I have been super busy. The only real reason I had time to blog today and because I took the day off of work. Don't taddle on me, I just needed a break to focus on school and rest up some.  But through my busy schedule I have found time to have fun also. About two weeks ago Rachel, Mya, and I all went out to our first hockey game to our local hockey team, the Oilers. It was so much fun. We didn't end up staying very long but it was a fun experience :)

Rachel and I also took a trip down to Washington D.C. this past week. So I will try to get those pictures up soon because I do have some mighty fine outfit pictures. hehe. Hope your all have a great week and its not to stressful. 

p.s. Happy Late Valentine's

New Year's Resolution

Happy New Year! 

I hope 2011 was as good of a year for you guys as it was for me. I was filled with a lot of blessings during 2011. First of all I graduated high school. Yep, I survived all 13 plus years of school it was hard work. I have a job with good hours which is more then a lot of people have right now. I am enrolled in college class' for next semester and am currently being interviewed for one of my dream jobs of being a nanny. I would say 2011 was pretty good. 

And I would like 2012 to be just as good. So I made a few new year's resolutions to keep me on track for the new year. 

1. Eat healthy.  

I was doing good really good last spring about eating healthy and working out. But then I got busy with work and lost time to work out and with the holidays I most definitively ate a lot of sweets. So my goal is find more time to work out and get fit by eating healthy. 

2. Run a half marathon. 

My real goal is to run a full marathon but since the farthest I have ever ran was 9 miles while I was training for the Akron Relay I have decided a half marathon is the perfect start to my marathon goal this year. 

3. Learn how to cook. 

Yes, sad to admit but I don't know how to cook. Somehow cooking was gene that missed me. So pinterest  has helped me a lot to find simple recipes to help me start :) I am excited about this new adventure. And my uncle has said he would pay for the groceries if I made him dinner. So its a win win. 

4. Blog more.

This past summer, I have really gotten away from blogging on a regular basis. So I need to get back on track. So hopefully 2012 will bring me enough adventures to blog about. 

5. Get good grades in school. 

Now that I was going to be going back to school with a little more purpose this time. I plan on getting good grades in all my class'. No excuse for me to slack off this year. 

I hope you guys had a great New Year's Eve and that you will have many blessings in 2012!

I Miss The Christmas Season Already. . .

I really do miss the Christmas season already. I miss the endless Christmas movies and music. I miss business of Christmas. Which my mother says what got me sick this week. I didn't know any one could feel so miserable in their life from being sick between the stomach ache, bright lights, dizziness, and being sick to my stomach. . .   I am skipping work today and am sick in bed. Since I can't play with all my new stuff or show it off by wearing it in public. I thought I would brag about it on my blog :) Bear with me, I am just a sick girl in bed, sad over the Christmas season.

So I think the thing I am most excited about are my movies. I asked for the first toy story and my grandma got me all three. I am so excited and can't wait to watch them. hehe. I will probably end up watching at least one of them with my preschooler's this week :)

My mom and sister got me Columbia jacket in pink of course because that is my favorite color. And both my grandma's got me scarves with shades of pink in them. So I will look very fashionable when I wear my new jacket and scarves out. 

I also got two books for Christmas. "Wonderland Creek" by Lynn Austin and "Sherlockian" by Graham Moore. I am so excited to read these books. Lynn Austin is my favorite author and I love any book or movie about Sherlock Holmes. 

My cousin made this for me off of Pinterest, isn't it so cute?!

These are only a few of  the awesome things I got like lace up boots, tights, fuzzy slippers, giant Tangled coloring book. . . the list is very long so I wont bored you with all of them. But I hope you guys had a great Christmas and got everything you were wishing for. 

Tuesday Tunes. . . Under the Mistletoe

I love this song for two reason. Christmas and Justin Bieber. It makes me happy. Hope you guys like it <3
