Wedding Location...dun dun dun
So this wedding process has been soo exciting and complicated. There are so many things to worry about. From reception to dj to bouquet, it can be overwhelming. But for me and Eric, it has been a little more hectic because location is key. Our current location, North Dakota, is never an option for our wedding location. So picking a location has been bittersweet. Of course, we would love to have a Destination Wedding in the Bahamas, but I have come to the conclusion that it is way too expensive for our family and friends. Then I was thinking California. Let's cut to the chase....San Francisco is the Wedding location! Hopefully come this August, after I graduate, I will be planning my wonderful summer wedding! I dont know how ive been so patient...oh yeah, thats right, im a poor college student! But not after this summer! Im so pumped.
New Year, New Me!
Alright, so here goes:
February is approaching and so far 2013 is being good to me. My precious babygirl is not a baby anymore. She is getting bigger and bigger every time I look at her! And I am that much closer to finishing my Bachelor's degree in Social Work at the University of North Dakota. I also got a 4.0 gpa fall semester! woot woot! So hopefully I can continue that this semester and my final, summer, semester. But the biggest change of all, so far this year, has been my #lifestyle change. I have lost 10 LBS. But I am not done yet. My goal is to lose a total of 40 LBS to be at a weight of 137.0 LBS. The best piece of advice I can give anyone is: "It doesn't get easier, you get better". And that has been true in so many parts of my life, mainly motherhood, school and weight loss. I don't know it all, but I strive to learn each day and I am proud of myself for that.
But 2013 is a also a big year for me because I turn 25!!!! I have mixed feelings about turning 25. I feel like i've done pretty good for myself up until now but that I haven't done enough. My goal for this year and beyond is to do the things that I want to do. To Make it Happen. So first things first is: Lose Weight. Im doing that, so i will just keep it going and stay motivated. But #2 is to Travel to the Twin Cities (Minneapolis, MN). My little family and I moved to Grand Forks, North Dakota in June of 2011 and we have always said that we must get to the cities but have yet to do it. So we're gonna go sometime in March and I cant wait. I have already made our schedule, lets just hope we can stick to it. Must see places are: Mall of America, Nickelodeon Universe, Sea Life Aquarium, and the Albertsville Premium Outlets. Who doesnt love the outlets? But our trip is definitely based all around our soon-to-be 3 year-old princess. She's gonna love it and have a Blast!
Another hope for this year is to have my daughter, fiancee and myself take professional pictures this spring. I always try to have my daughter take, so to speak, "Birthday Pictures" professionally, and with my upcoming graduation I also want to have a few pictures on hand for the scrapbook, invitations, etcetera. And for all 3 of us to take family pictures just because. I think pictures are a great way to remember stuff and now, after going through one my daughters baby books, Writing is also essential. So I plan to dedicate some more time to my Blog. I used to think because I dont have many friends using a blog that I shouldn't care too much about it. But that is not why I started a blog. I started a blog to be able to write freely about the happenings in my family's life and be able to look back and reflect on all the good times. I sometimes get caught up in life and sometimes I dont remember all the things I would like to. So being consistent on my blog will help me to always remember and never forget!!
But lets not forget 2012 and a little bit of 2013...Here are some of my favorite pictures of 2012:::::
