New Years Resoultions

We all make New Years Resolutions, but we don't always keep them. I am the world worst, and every year I say it is going to be different. Well, 2009 is going to be my year. I am set some small goals for myself this year, and I am very confident that I can achieve them. I am going to post them below, so hopefully, that will hold me accountable! I guess we will see how I do. I will keep you updated through out the year upon completing them.



1. I think that I could really get into keeping up this blog. I am hopefully going to post more than just once a month! I love the idea of writing down my thoughts and posting pictures along with it for my friends and family to share in the experiences.



2. I want to take more time for myself this year. Don't get me wrong, I love being married to my husband and doing things with him, but this last year has been all about him and his band and fixing up the house. I need movie and dinner nights with my friends, spa and shopping days. I know Shane is not going to care at all. He tries to get me to go do things for myself. Well, after the last few months, I agree, and in 2009, I will do just that.

3. Not many people know this, but I am a very creative and crafty person. I love taking pictures. I have taken some great scenic pictures that I would like to frame and hang in our house. I would love for the only art work in the house to be mine!

4. I would like for Shane and I to travel more this year, even if it is just to get away for the weekend. I would love for us to take a really great anniversary trip. We had planned to do that in 2008, but there were some other things that came up that got in our way.

5. I know that every woman out there says that they are going to lose weight in the coming year, but mine is different. I don't have a set amount that I want to lose, I just want to live a more healthy life style and have more energy. If that means that I lose weight in the process, then that is even better! I would love to start doing Yoga. I also need to start drinking more water!

Well, I think that is it for now. I wish all of my friends and family more success and happiness in the coming year! Until next time...

Busy Busy Busy

OK, I must apologize for not posting in forever. I have been a busy little beaver! Work has been crazy, but good. I have also been getting some information about going back to school. I have decided that I am going to be a professional student and stay in school until I know everything about everything! Of course I am just kidding, but it is time to finish that degree!

Shane's band has really been taking off as well. They performed at an open mike night in Dalton, Ga about a month ago and then just last weekend they performed a whole show in Trenton, Ga. A restaurant owner has also contacted them about setting up something a little more permanent! I am so happy for him. This is his dream, and I am glad that I get to be a part of it.

I promise to post more regularly now that things are starting to slow down a little. It is also my favorite time of the year so I am sure me and Shane will have plenty of adventures to share with you! Until then...

What's New

Just a little introduction....

Shane and I were married on August 25, 2007 in a very small ceremony in Chickamauga Georgia. It is so strange to think that almost a year has past. So much has changed in that year. In February, we moved into our first house. It is a little fixer upper right down the road from where we got married. There is so much to be done and not enough time or money to do it in, but we love it and couldn't be happier with the place! I plan to post before and after pictures as we go along so stay tuned for that!

Other than dealing with the house, we are pretty busy. Shane and his cousins just started a band, so that keeps him busy. He also has 2 children that we have every other weekend. That definitely keeps us busy! There is never a dull moment when they are around.

I just bought a new camera, and enjoy taking tons of pictures. I love to read and I am trying to get into scrap booking. I just never seem to have the time to do that. I love to be crafty. I think that is why fixing up our house is so much fun to me. I work as a research assistant for a company in Chattanooga,TN and plan to go back to school next fall to finish my teaching degree.

This is just scratching the surface. More to come later!
