Breaks

Sometimes breaks are necessary.

Trust me, I visit the blog and sit for a while in front of a blank post every single day.  Today is the 20th day of 2012 and this will only be my second post. 

So what have I been up to this month?  The usual.  Working, spending time trying to clean our home, and the occasional craft project.  There has been a little bit more sleeping involved than I would care to admit, but I have every reason to cut that bad habit out.

Tomorrow may be a little bittersweet.  If I had continued on the college path, I would be heading back to class on Monday.  In fact, it was about a week ago that I officially dropped my classes.  And I bawled like a baby to Jarred before I did it.  He told me I still had time to think about it, but I couldn't agonize over a decision any longer.  I dropped my classes online, exited out of my Internet browser, and didn't look back.

Though I would have enjoyed the classes this semester, it's for the best that I am skipping college at least for a while, working my little part-time job to earn us some saving money and focus on truly bettering myself.  Jarred deserves that in a wife and I should expect the best from myself.

I digress.

I'm taking a break from school, but hopefully this small break I've been taking from blogging won't be as long!

Currently, Jarred and I are sitting in the computer room.  He is playing Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii while I watch him. 

This afternoon my iPhone decided to take a bath.  So it's under a lamp in a bowl of rice drying out.  Hopefully it will still work so we don't have to shell out money for a new phone.  Because, let's be honest:  once you go iPhone, you don't go back.

At least I have a great hubs that cured my sniffles with a trip to Panera Bread and the mall. 

And without further ado, I finally have a couple of pictures with my beloved Hunter rainboots:

 Opening my gifts from Jarred on my birthday.  Turns out the 7s I asked for were too small, so we had to order 8s.

Got my 8s in the mail!

2012

We're 1 hour into the new year.  

2011, you were great.  But time only moves forward.

When I look back, I guess we did have a pretty busy year.  We celebrated my mother-in-law's marriage, Jarred turned into a mid-20-something, we vacationed in the mountains, moved across town, celebrated our 1 year anniversary, I got a job, and turned 24. 

Hopefully 2012 will be just as busy.  I've decided that this year there will be no plans.  If there were any, I'm throwing them out the window.

Let's live a little.

Let's have fun this year.

Let's go with the flow.

Welcome welcome Baby New Year! 


I wish a very happy beginning to 2012 to all bloggers and readers out there!
