spOtted: new year, new me.

I know it's been a good while since I posted last, but hey-- better late than never, right?

I decided to write my resolution post[including why I want this to happen, etc.]-- then fill you in on the events of the past.. month-ish.

My resolutions for this year are as follows--
   
             LOSE WEIGHT - [I know I'll never be a size zero, but I do know I can love my body more. My goal is to get back to a size 6, in however long it takes me, but lose 20 pounds by May. VERY POSSIBLE. I'll be posting about the weight loss as it goes '&such.]

           READ MORE - [If that means the girls at the salon start a book club, so be it. I want to read as many books as I can this year. Starting with 'Sense '& Sensibility'.]

          STOP SWEARING - [it's really not a cute habit.]

         GO BACK TO CHURCH - [finding a Christian church out here would be a g r e a t place to start.]

          START A BUCKET LIST&' CHECKING THINGS OFF - [I want a month by month bucket list. I'll be posting those lists here as well, and letting you all know as they are passed off.

         do NOT cut my hair - [aside from trims, layers &'bangs. I miss my long hair.]

          GO ON MORE DATES WITH KALEB - [I love falling in love all over again with him, &'our schedules have gotten so hectic lately, we don't really have time for each other.

          JOURNAL MORE FREQUENTLY - [seriously-- I want to have certain things written down forever.]

          TAKE MORE PICTURES - [see above post. it's all about the memories.]

           LIVE EACH DAY LIKE IT'S MY LAST - [why not start at the end of the world?]

          DON'T LET A DAY GO BY WITHOUT TELLING SOMEONE THAT I LOVE THEM - [out loud. pets count. even if I look in the mirror &'tell myself it. It HAS to happen.

        IF I CAN'T FIND SOMETHING DECENT ON T.V. -- TURN IT OFF [do I really need to explain this one?]

      You know how there is always that one song that can cheer you up &'make you smile no matter what? &'you crank it up &'dance around to it &'sing it at the top of your lungs? yeah-- I'm gonna have one of  'those days' more often.

     NO MORE DRUNK TEXTING OF EXES - [along with no drunk tweeting, Facebook updating, etc.]

      WRITE DOWN 5 REASONS ON WHY I WOULD MARRY ME - I have to find them somehow..

 Okay-- I'm sleepy. I'll try and post tomorrow, but no promises. Love ya'll.

spOtted: A Winter Wonderland

 Ah.. Winter is among us! Yesterday, it was snowing-- ALL DAY! And for once, I am LOVING it. It is perfect sweater,scarf,soup&'snuggle[it's S season!] weather.

Out here in Cache Valley[the boondocks!] it was snowing from early in the a.m. until about 9 p.m.;I'm sure it continued later into the night, I just know it wasn't snowing while the fam was in the hot tub![hot tub&'snow=bliss] We got maybe nine or ten inches;all I know is that it's beautiful!

And of course, snow means so many things! Cute fashion,hot chocolate,roaring fires,candy canes,sparkles[I'm hoping to get a sparkly addition this holiday season]family parties,Christmas movies-- the list of bliss goes on.

Stay safe&' I'll post again soon!

spOtted: A Whole New World?

(So I typed up this blog once already, only to have the internet decide to freak out, &' just not work. hahah! So this is my second attempt. Hopefully it works! If not-- this little bit of commentary is pointless. If it does work-- all of my readers can laugh at me.)

So after not blogging for quite some time, I have a good amount to catch up on. So lets start from the beginning...

Halloween has come &' gone, sadly. We went up to Logan for a family party &' I had such a fun time. I got to meet some of the extended family. They are all such fun, lovely people. I can't promise I remember everyones names (there was a good amount of people there! I met so many people.) but I can remember what a fun time it was.

Shortly after that, Kaleb got a new job at a place called AlliedBarton-- a security company that works all over the Salt Lake Valley. Well, he got hired on full time, &' had incredible hours (incredible as in he had weekends off, &' a set schedule.) Well basically, right after getting hired, he was diagnosed with strep. When he let his boss know, his boss told him to NOT come in, not until the antibiotics had been in his system for the correct amount of time, &' such. So Kaleb went along with that, &' was fine. Well, after that, he got a call letting him know that his boss said he was "giving away" his shifts. AFTER MISSING ONE DAY, THAT HE WAS TOLD NOT TO COME IN FOR. So right off the bat, I'm thinking, something is just not right here. So that gets sorted out, and Kaleb carries on working-- &' next thing we know is, his schedule changes-- BIG TIME. His boss decides to change him to a "flex" schedule, &' now Kaleb is working Friday, Saturday and Sunday, completely ridiculous hours. So it's just issue after issue. Well, Kaleb called in yesterday, being sick still. Well, his boss calls him this morning, &' fires him. So not okay with me. Apparently, things just "aren't working out" for them. Right, cause the guy had it out for him to begin with. I guess that's how things go. This guy can cause issues when he decides he doesn't like a person. That makes perfect sense. It sounds like a great company to work for, don't you think? So I guess it's a blessing, in a way that Kaleb doesn't work there anymore. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Well, with that being said, Kaleb &' I have been discussing some big things-- like... REALLY big things. He's talking about maybe moving out to Logan-- &' he wants me to go with him. So, if everything works out the way we want it too, that will for sure be happening.

This relationship is-- simply put-- the easiest relationship I've ever been in. I'm comfortable. I can be myself. I haven't laughed so much as I have lately. Being around him is as easy breathing. I feel so good about myself when he's around, &' he's so funny. I can't wait to experience the future with him.

Well-- That's all for now.

I'm sure I'll have more to talk about later.
