this year i...

Yeah....I've been slacking.  I've been holding off on some posts until after the launch of The Shiny Happy, but there has been some delay.  Then I just got in a funk of doing other things.  But, I'm back!!!  This post is a little late, but hey....it's still January! :)

Kaylah over at The Dainty Squid has an annual post that she has done called, "This Year I..."  Once I read it, I was motivated to create my own post to document the things I've done this year.  Big & small.  So thanks to her, I present my 2013 list.

This year I...


-started off the New Year as a newlywed in a new city with a new job.

-enjoyed the "I Love You Because..." board from my little sis.


 -bought new furniture with the mister.




-loved finding all the mister's random love notes.




-was thrilled to become Matti's "bonus mom."



-recorded an album with my good friend, Rita.


-enjoyed my fair share of coffee.


-rocked at being the super rad family that we are.


-participated in my very first 5K on my 33rd birthday.




-took my mom to her very first Rangers game.


-made sure to get plenty of pool time in at Mom's.
Matti & her friend, Taelor.


-got the most awesome running shoes from the mister.

-went kayaking in Broken Bow.

-took a road trip to Houston with my mom.
Starbucks.  Everyday.

-took Mattison to the Tyler Zoo.



-went bowfishing on the Red River.



-consistently found stuff like this on my phone after leaving it alone for just a second.


-added the cutest 4-legged furbaby to our family -- Jackson Kane "Jax"

- got myself involved with the local Relay For Life committee again as the Promotional Chair.
 

 
-participated in my second 5K/second Color Run in Dallas.



- marked my third 5K with the Ho Ho Ho Run in Tyler.

  4. OMG your puppy is so cute! First I thought you meant you did all this in 2014 already, and I was thinking, "Wow, no wonder she hasn't been blogging!" Also I am trying to learn to play the drums. Only I don't have a drum. I DO have a drum practice pad, and some sticks!
