First of all, happy new year to all, and to all a good night.
Isn't that just rad?
I thought of it just now.
Christmas and New Year combined into one glorious, heavenly, holiday baby.
Okay, not really that rad.
Mom is now engaged to her boyfriend of 2 years. He proposed on Christmas morning. He got me a GPS for Christmas. Buying my love is one way to win me over... But really, he's a good guy. They have tentatively planned their wedding date for sometime in june/july.
One semester down, a new one to go. We don't talk about my grades. We just don't. Tackling 16 new credits. 5 new classes. 1 more semester with my room-hate. 1,000 new ways to kill myself.
Snowboarding for the first time. Soreness in every muscle of my body and crevasse of my butt. When you're an adult and taking lessons from the "Learn to Turn" program, you feel like a major wiener. So judge me, 12 year olds. I actually had fun.
Christmas party, as well as new years, with the wonderful babes in my life.
Paying $15 to go to the UVU Newphoria bash....not the most mind-blowingly fun new year experience ever. But seeing these girls was well worth it!
Bummer of the night: right as I entered into the land of Orem, I got a text from my good friend Dan. He wanted me to be his date that night to go bowling with a bunch of friends!
CURSES! I says to muhhself.
I miss Dan dearly, I only wish I didn't' already have plans that evening.
If I had gone with him, the chances of me scoring a New Year's kiss would have been relatively high according to my research...I studied the logistics and analyzed the approximate geometry of the stars and probability of our lips meeting and all...you know. Science.
There's always next year!
Last but not least, I got to spend some quality time with Miyuki!! Always good. Especially when Myung-Ga, family dinners, the ginger app, and Crazy, Stupid, Love are involved.
I hope you all set some "goals" for the new year, cause let's be honest, "resolutions" are diets people keep for three days and the dusty elliptical sitting unused in your basement. Right?? I'm just bitter.....well, whatever you like to call them, I wish you the BEST of luck! :)
Some of my goals:
- REGULAR ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH (Including full tithing payment and fasting!!)
This is a big deal.
No more of this "Oh it's 7:30 am, Im going to be a wuss bag and sleep in."
December 2011 was actually the first time I ever fasted; need to keep it up every month!!
There will come a time when your bishop asks you if you're a full tithe payer, and you'll poop in your Sunday's best. Not this year, I bought some Depends.
-SERVICE. SAVING. SELFLESSNESS.
I admit that I've been very selfish and greedy in my life. Whether it's asking for Christmas gifts from my parents or even just buying myself clothes or useless things, I need to grasp the concept of SAVING! I'm growing up, there's going to come a time when I'll have bills to pay and a family to support; it's time to start building good habits! I've also failed to be charitable in donating extra money and offering my services to those in need. I plan to be involved in plenty service work this year. I feel like a guilty jerk.
-BETTER ATTITUDE.
Yes, I have sassed my mom before. A lot, actually. I realize now how GRATEFUL I am to have her in my life and how much she sacrifices for my own happiness. I need to reciprocate and be a support system for her in return. I've always kinda been a negative nancy, haven't I? There's no better time to change than now.
Please harass me and get on my case about these goals until the next new year.
Threaten me real gooood.
No...don't do that.
