Wonderful January

Wowo, I feel like I need a vacation from vacation. I had almost two weeks straight off, but I feel like I need more rest now then ever...lol. I hope this weekend I get time to just sit and do nothing (or maybe shop).

Lots of fun things coming up this month that I'm excited about! Should be a Wonderful January.

David and Amber's Wedding is in like 2 weeks :) Can't wait!

My parents are coming for a visit next weekend, need to clean my closet out a little more.

I'm going to the Dallas Bridal Show with Lacy this month to help her pick out stuff for her upcoming weddding too!

*Also sadness because the brakes on my car have been making this crunchy grindy sound for awhile, and stephen took it to get looked at and it is going to cost me $400 :( I really took for granted when I lived at home and my parents paid for car repairs and stuff, but at least I don't have to turn up the radio to drown out the grinding noises anymore!

Stephen and Ashley's New Year's Resolutions :)

So it's 2009 and I hope it will be a great year! Stephen and I have come up with a list of things that will help to make this year productive and grrreat :)

Ashley's Resolutions
1. Hmm... i know everyone makes this one, but i'm going to really really try to eat better this year, and work out. Starting my first job and sitting at a desk all day really makes you gain weight... I think I'm going to try to buy a Wii to have more fun and to work out as well.

2. I'm also going to try to cook more meals at home. I want to try to learn at least 15 good recipes that I can cycle out so I won't get bored. (My Magic Bullet and Crock Pot Christmas presents should help me out!)

3. I want to start studying again for either Law School or to get my MBA. Not sure exactly when this will take place, but I at least want to get a head start.

4. Clean my room more

5. Spend more time with my Family.

I think that's all for now. These are pretty hefty goals for me, so if anyone who reads this sees me violating one, tell me not too!


Stephen is making a guest appearance in my blog to post his resolutions. Here is his list...

I didn't know that we were doing reasons too. I thought it would be a straight forward list. I see New Year's resolutions as more of a goals list and this just being the time of year that people find the excuse to actually make some goals and try to keep them. It's kind of sad, but hey I do it too.

1. Graduate. Lame that I have to list this.

2. Call my friends, family, and girlfriend more. I'm lazy and they always end up calling me. They think I don't love them but I do.

3. Get rid of this belly. It's not cute anymore.

4. Since I'm still in school it means there's still a little bit of time left to try and win an intramural championship. While I did win a Superbowl with CFL, an intramural championship has always eluded my path.

5. Get a car. It's lame that I have to list this one too.

6. Tell Ashley that I love her more. We've been together for over three years now so its probably getting to the point where I have to work harder to keep her around ;)

Happy New Year to all and I hope you write down some resolutions and work on keeping them too!

It's the Holiday Season...

It's the Holiday Season...
With the whoop-de-do and hickory dock
And don't forget to hang up your sock
Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down!
(My Favorite Christmas Song right now)

This year is so different than any other year of my life and its got me super excited about everything. Its a whole new experience making my own traditions and celebrating the holidays in my own way.

1. Decorate a christmas tree
2. Drive around and see pretty christmas lights
3. Have a holiday party
4. See the Gaylord Texan Ice exhibit
5. Drink hot chocolate by the fireplace
6. Watch Home Alone
7. Make gingerbread houses
8. Go Ice Skating
9. Go shopping for Christmas presents
