bring it on 2014.

it's the last day of 2013. time really did fly by.
can it be 2014 already? i'm so ready to start fresh!

while this past year wasn't a total bust,
it wasn't my finest year either.
a few unfortunate things happened
throughout this year that i would rather not
have happen again. it's so stressful just
thinking about it all!

on a positive note, all the bad things that
have happened has fueled me to bring in 2014
stronger. no, i'm not making promises.
promises are always broken because we try too
hard to fulfill them and stress
ourselves out over trying to fulfill them.
but i will do everything to
the best of my ability.

i'm trying to change my lifestyle for the better.
it wasn't just 2013 that i've made my share of mistakes.
i realize that i'm not getting younger.
i can attempt to fix all the flaws in my life.
and you know the saying, 'better late, then never.'

bring it on 2014. bring it on.

date nights in a jar [comes to an end] :(

sadly, date nights in a jar has
officially come to an end. [well,
in november it did] i think i'm most
sad because we almost made it
one full year, just 2 more months.

it's not that we wanted the date
nights to end. it's just that we've gotten
so busy with the holidays and chris
starting his new job, that the time for it
just wasn't there anymore.

i've mentioned it before but in 2014, we
are going to start one event a month. we've done
this in 2012 and it was just as fun.
going to plays, concerts, etc!

excuses

with the new year coming up, i've decided
to make a few changes within my life.
no more excuses. i know that it's typical,
kind of like new years resolutions. it's a bit
more personal than that now.

it's to make me the best me that i can be.
take care of me first. and various
other things. [i won't list them until they
have been accomplished. that way
i will not be discouraged.]

i'm not promising that i will succeed in
any way . but this time i'm going to do
everything to the best of my ability.
no more excuses.
