New toy!

This weekend, we got something we've been wanting for a LONG time. We purchased this beauty.....



and I.....am in love!!

I grew up with music in my home. If it wasn't my two sisters playing the piano, it was my dad stringing his guitar often in the evenings as I would come home from being out with friends or coming home from the days activities. I remember him trying to teach me to play the guitar and learning "Country Road" by John Denver, callouses and all. It didn't stick, but I can't think about John Denver without lovingly thinking about my dad and maybe shedding a tear or two from fond memories of him. So, now I need to learn how to play all over again and it needs to be tuned, but I can't wait to get started!

3 months and counting....

I just got this beauty in the mail and now I need to be able to actually look good in it. So, the countdown begins. Let the workouts and crunches begin. I'm going to see if I can lose 20 pounds by July 1st, roughly thee months from now, which coincidentally happens to be when I'll be flying out to Utah and Washington to see my family..yay! Wish me luck! :)

Slacker

Ok...so I'm officially a slacker! I cannot believe I haven't posted anything since last October. To be fair, the holidays came and got the best of me. I feel like November and December were a blur and now it's nearly March and summer will be here before I know it! In Relief Society at church, we had a lesson on writing in our journals and this pang of guilt suddenly set in. I know life gets busy, but I can do this! No excuses.

I don't typically like New Year's resolutions because I feel like it's just another thing I will eventually fail at, but I think the key is to make an attainable, realistic goal. So, this year I will resolve to blog once a week every Sunday and hopefully it will be a lot more interesting than this one....promise!
