11 Goals for 2011
1. Find a DH Job!
- and I can check that one off the list! I just hope that it continues out to be a full time position and things pick up!
2. Find an apartment/house
- another check off the list! We are loving our new place and you can view it here!
3. Learn to quilt - Quilt a t-shirt quilt, a baby quilt, and a quilt for me & Phil
- I unfortunately did not complete this goal, but I kinda think I dreamed too high with this one with all the wedding planning going on! We did receive a quilt from Phil's grandmother and one from my friend Jeff's mother for our wedding!
4. Continue eating healthy and working out
- I did accomplish this goal until the latter part of the year! The holidays hurt me, but I plan on getting back on track! I will list this as goal complete because I did so well for 95% of the year! (that is a made up percentage so don't even try to calculate that!)
5. Use my crockpot
- check! We have made a couple different dishes in the good ole crockpot, including a potato casserole, thai chicken, and chili!
6. Have fun planning mine and Phil's wedding!
- check again! Planning was definately fun, but also very stressful as well! I am glad it is over with, but it was truly the happiest day of my life!
7. Make tooth-fairy pillows for my cousins/nephews!
- this did not happen! Luckily noone has lost a tooth yet! haha I did make the ring bearer pillow for my nephew, Alec, to hold while walking down the aisle!
8. Get a kitty
- this hasn't happened either, but it can't while we are living in our new place cause we aren't allowed to have any pets except our fishies. We did acquire a kitty friend that most likely belongs to a neighbor that comes to visit us and we call Muffin!
9. Continue to read for pleasure as often as I can.
- this I did! Although I didn't read as many books as I did last year, I did read as much as I could with all the craziness going on! I read a total of 18 books and plan to read more next year!
10. Start paying off my loans.
- I started doing this! Big accomplisment here!
11. Continue to blog!
- although I've had some trouble, I have continued to blog as much as I could! I fear though that I have lost many followers due to my absence!
I am happy that I completed 8 out of the 11 goals that I have set for myself! Many of which you may see again for 2012! Come back tomorrow to see what they are!
...and have a safe and happy New Year's Eve everybody!
This week I worked for two different dental offices filling in for their hygienists. It was nice to be able to do since kids are out of school and I can't go to my regular job. I just hope it picks up some, or I can at least fill in a little more the next couple months!
I took these pictures to depict the snow and the mountains.
Here are some pictures of the awesome windmills that I think are too cool!
Here are some pictures driving through Elkins.
Seneca Rocks from afar.
The farm behind the hotel where I stayed.
My hotel room had a geese theme. It kinda freaked me out a little!
The frosty sheep farm behind the school we were at the next morning. Next to the farm was a cemetary, and beside that was the school's playground!
And finally, a picture on the wall in the hall of the school we were at. I don't know about you, but I don't think this kid respects his tooth brush very much!
Our Office/Guest Room/Phil's "Man Cave" 
Tonight, Phil and I went to our first family gathering for Christmas! My aunt, uncle, and cousin will be out of town visiting my cousins in Idaho for actual Christmas since the babies are there. That's why we decided to celebrate early with them! This year we had picked names out of a hat and got eachother presents $20 and under. That turned out really well and we had a great time! The icing on the cake was getting to see and talk to my cousins on the phone/ipad app thing! I got to see my 8 month old baby cousin Aysley for the first time in about 3 months and she is growing so fast!
This is my wreath I made! Fits my color theme nicely!
