Resolutions?
Ok so...new year's resolutions...I have never been good at keeping them so this year I really want to make my best effort at doing so.
- Reconnect with myself - I feel I have lost myself the past few years so I want to be a bit more selfish(in a good way)
- Drink more water - I am positive I don't drink enough
- Write - Something I have always wanted to do and I think it is about time I start; so I am sure I am going to start posting more random blogs; be prepared
- Read more
- Loosen up - someone told me recently that I am wound so tight I would make babies cry, so my goal is to loosen up and stop caring what the world thinks/wants/expects of me. I am ME and that is it!!
- Be happy happy happy
Lets see how this goes for me!!

2009
I promised a 2009 review and I have been slacking because I have been so sick the past week. Sore throats and congestion coupled with work hasn't been very great! So here we go a month-by-month recap(as close as I can at least):
January brought a lot hectic days at work. I started off the first week of the year working fifty hours and having my general manager being fired. I was also rocked into finding out that I was not getting the promotion I thought I was geting and that I deserve. It was super hard for me to digest, but I have since gotten over it and know it was for the best.
February meant sadness for our family as we lost my grandmother's only sister. She was a great person and we all miss her smiling face. February also brought talk of Mike's mother moving back to Idaho. She wasn't having a good time in Arizona and needed to get out. We made some plans to get her in March and that's what we did!
The first weekend in March we piled into a car a drove to Las Vegas the first day. I drove the entire way and by the time we got there it was 9pm and I was exhausted, not to mention all the boys were deathly sick. We would stop at stores and they would take turns buying tissues, cough drops, and nyquil. It was sad really because I wanted to go play!! Day two we drove to Phoenix, much shorter. We hung out for a couple days then packed a Uhaul and began our trek back. Blah.

April brought SUGARCULT! My favorite show EVER! It was such a super great time! Abe and Owen and Lindsay came to the show...AMAZING!! I did get my elbow bit by a stranger though...kind of odd. Kendra and I also drove to Boise to get Cassaundra and bring her back to Pocatello with us! She has been back ever since and I love it!!
May was fairly uneventful...I think. I had a root canal and worked a lot because my GM was out of town a lot.
Kendra moved out of our crazy house in June which was a really hard day for me. It was sad to see her go and was horribly jealous inside. I went and watched the Classic Crime perform at a small venue here in Poky and was amazed as I always am when I watch them. They are awesome boys and I love how down-to-earth they are.
July was stressful for me. I was having lots of internal turmoil with seeing eye to eye with my new manager, but we got over it and we are better now. July was just one big ball of stress for me. Employee evaluations, thinking of going back to school, and financial woes.
August was better for me. Mike and I went on an overnight campout and the relaxation was amazing. It was super warm outside and things were great!!
Shinedown came to Pocatello in September and I proudly say that they are my new favortie live show. They impressed us all so much and put on an amzing show. I would love to see them again.
I made Halloween cupcakes in October and found out that there were a million prego people that I know. I stopped drinking tap water.
November was a crap month for the most part. Our cat, Fat Cat, was put down because he was sick from a spider bite infection. The happy parts were Mike's birthday, Alycia and Derek becoming our new besties, and going home for Thanksgiving.
December went too fast. I don't even know what I did. Mike and I went to my family party the first weekend. I dreaded Christmas because I went to my parent's house empty handed. I turned 24!

To catch up . . .
Christmas was good. I was able to spend three days with my parents and siblings; probably the longest amount of time we have all spent together in a while. It was basically a vacation for me; I loved every second of it. I only wish Mike could have come along.
I got some great gifts; a new camera, so be prepared for lots more pictures, and wii fit which I really enjoy! Mostly I just loved being able to be home.
My birthday was two days ago! I love my birthday, but hate where it falls in the year. I got some cash so I can go shopping, yay!! I actually had to work the swing shift this year, hated it. I have NEVER in my life had to work on my birthday before. Mike tells me I am spoiled because of it. I just always request it off so I can take the entire day and do whatever I want; which is normally mimosas for breakfast, marguritas for lunch, and rum for dinner. This year I got a happy birthday corona from Alycia so that made up for having to work!! Next year I plan to have an amazing birthday. I am going to plan something big.
The new year is finally here, almost. I am so ready to be finished with 09. It was complete chaos for me at all times and 2010 is going to be better. I am looking forward to moving, possibly a new job, and paying off bills. What could be better than that?!? Basically I am excited for moving. If I had to stay in debt and stay at the hotel I would live just as long as I can move.
New Year's Resolutions to come soon as well as a year in review . . .

December Blues
It doesn't feel right to me that it is December and it is almost over. I am not ready for Christmas; this is the first year I have ever just wanted to skip it completely. I am looking forward to going home for almost the entire week. I got lucky and am able to take two vacation days, giving me four days off total. Lucky me!! I am super ready for December and this entire year to be over. It has been such a stressful year. 2010 has to be a million times better or I will cry!
