I am getting so forgetful and bad at this! Things must be getting hectic I guess if I can't even find 10 minutes to write up a blog! lol (or I'm just plain forgetful).
Things at work have been good--fairly steady/busy around here so it helps pass the time by a little better then when there's nothing to do!
My parents were up a lot this past weekend so there wasn't much sitting around. My dad meant business and we got everything hung in the house--now I just have to tackle my closet and all our last minute to-do things. I know he wants to bring my aunts up soon to see the house, so I better get crackin'!! haha The problem with that of course being : after I work all day, come home, make dinner, clean up, work out and finally sit down, it's pretty well time for bed and I have ZERO energy left to do anything else! I guess that's what weekends are for :)
Over the course of Sunday night, I was getting a little fed up with everything. I was annoyed by something I can't even remember (which is a surefire way to know you shouldn't have been mad in the first place), and feeling overwhelmed with everything.
So--I have made a "to-do list" of change for my life.
1) Be healthier/lose weight/get into shape and get to be comfortable with myself again.
2) Be happier--do not stress out or worry about things beyond my control. No drama. No arguing with people (specifically Tyler) over insignificant things in relation to the "bigger picture".
3) Do more fun things for ME (going to take some fun cooking classes in embrun, made a hair appointment, will start getting my nails done on a regular, etc). Debating even starting a small bakery out of my home and seeing if it takes me anywhere (not sure about this since it requires quite a bit more money then I'm willing to fork over right now)
4) Be better with money. I want to have an insane savings account so me and Ty can just fly away on a romantic trip on a whim if we so desire, to go buy anything we want/ any major thing we need at a moments notice, etc--just a sense of financial comfort. We need to start planning for the future for any little babies running around in the house in the next little while :) I am becoming more and more aware of this everyday and instead of stressing about it, I am going to do something about it.
5) Make an outdoor oasis in our backyard. I have realised I need a place to escape to reflect and think about things. I am very vocal about things usually but sometimes I internalize things and work through them myself, and I just can't do that when there's computers, cell phones, people, animals, clocks, etc surrounding me. A place where I can sit and think or write or read or sip a glass of wine all by myself without any distractions or interruptions.
6) Spending more time alone with Tyler (instead of going out as groups, etc) and spending more time at home. Not only for the sheer fact it's cheaper and less driving, but just to make sure we never loose the amazing spark we have. I love every second I spend with him and I don't want to ever lose sight of that or grow apart :)
And that's pretty much it for now! Just a few simple (in theory) things to do to make me a better, more fulfilled, happier person! I feel like people and life around me aren't always the most positive things in the world, so it's all about remembering who I am and being the person I know myself to be and not letting anything influence it and twist it into something and someone I don't recognize when I look in the mirror!
Other then that, not much is going on in my life. Things have been fairly tame around the homestead since we've been there relaxing in our finished basement (finally) and enjoying each others company. Sorry to not be able to announce more exciting things! LOL
Hope you all made it into work safely this morning! Was extremely scarily foggy around my place this morning--makes driving kind of dangerous! Have a great Tuesday everyone!!
