The Possibilities are Endless!

I feel like I am such a lazy blogger these days. I enjoy blogging so I have a way to document us but sometimes it is just hard to keep up with it. I am renewing my efforts and adding that goal to my list: Blog More.

Dan says I have a really good KIP impression. You know Kip, from Napolean Dynomite? That is so sweet of him, and he is right, of course. "You're just jealous Napolean because I get to sit at home chatting with hot babes All. Day. Long." ...Told you I was good.

Last night we went bowling. It was fun, but I really sucked. I am a really inconsistant bowler. Actually maybe not so inconsistant as just plain bad, but every now and then I get lucky and have a really good game. Last night we put bets on it. If I won I got a 30 minute massage. If Dan won, I have to somehow incorporate the phrase "The possibibilities are endless" into every phone converstation I have all day Monday at work. I obviously lost, so Monday will be a very funny day especially considering my job is 90% phone calls.

I never did document our Holiday Season so even though Christmas feels like forever ago, we had such a great time I must still write about it. We went up to Idaho to spend the holiday with Daniel's family. It was great to see everyone and so fun to spend time with them. We watched White Christmas (one of my favs) on Christmas Eve and then patiently waited for Santa to come. Or not so patiently... I woke up at 7 and was too excited I couldn't go back to sleep. I laid there and laid there til I finally couldn't wait anymore and had to wake Dan and his sister up. I'm like a child I know but I just LOVE Christmas morning. We all got spoiled and then had a delicious Christmas breakfast that Michelle made. mmmmm. The rest of the time was spent playing games and getting to see a bunch of family. It was quite a jolly time and I'm glad we got to go up there!



New Years. We are partiers. Our friend Dave As Well came down and we played games, they woke me up at 11, and we rung in the new year with some Martinelli's and jumping up and down. It was very exciting and should have been televised.

 

like I said... partiers
 



After New Years I'm always a little sad because I have to wait a full year for Christmas season again. Why does it only happen once a year? That should be changed. :) 

 "Peace Out." (Kip voice again).

What Up 2012

It is a rainy rainy day. I lurrrve it. It is a perfect day because Dan and I plan on doing absolutely nothing all day but hanging out with eachother. We do not get enough of those days!

It is also a good time to document my 2012 goals so far. I'm sure I will add on more as I think of them but here they are:

1. Make dinner more often! Dan is too good to me and makes dinner almost every night. He is a great cook and I love his food, but I want to give him a break and cook for him sometimes. Plus I need to get better because it is embarrassing how dumb I am in the kitchen.
2. Save more money! Always a good goal.
3. Buy a house! I can't wait and I really hope we are able to do it this year.
4. Read more books! There are tons on my list including Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, the Matched series, The Lucky One and the new Sophie Kinsella book coming out (!!).
5. Work out. I have been so lazy... like always. I really want to get on a routine where I am working out weekly. I just feel so much better when I work out- I eat and sleep way better too.
6. Read the Book of Mormon. Dan and I have a contest with this one. We decided we have to finish it by Feb. 29th. If we do we both get prizes! I've got a long way to go but I really love reading it!
7. Sew more. I love it and I need to do it!
8. Stop putting everything off. I always find that when I find something I want to do or make I end up saying, I will do it when I have more time or when I have a house or blah blah blah... I just need to knock that off and start getting things done. There is always a reason to not do something, so I need to make time to do it anyway!
9. Play guitar. I bought a guitar a few years ago, took a class, and now haven't played it over a year. That is dumb of me.
10. Try something new. Whether it is eating something new, going to a new place, making something, or just learning something new, I need to step out of my comfort zone and do more.
11. Be better. I need to find more ways to help others and better myself. Always something I want to be working on, but life gets in the way and I don't always try so hard.

So here is to a new year! It is going to be a GREAT one for us Moedl faces I just know it.
