Progress

I am happy to report... I am still going to the gym!

Snow in Knoxville

So last week we woke up to find this outside! Now everyone must know by now that I am NOT a fan of the cold so lets just say that I was not excited. Brandon on the other hand got out and took these pictures at 6:30 am which is why they are so dark.

But I must look on the bright side, beacause the roads were so slick, I was able to sleep in a little more and go into work 2 hours late!

Baby Steps...

So I have decided to make a conscious decision to make some changes. Do you ever feel like you get caught up in daily routines that before you know it a whole week has flown by and then a month? I have been feeling like this for awhile. I have so many things that I want to do and I feel like I have no time to do them. Even simple things like organizing my closet or organizing the spare room--- tasks like these, that should take a couple of hours drag on for weeks! The sad thing is, I don't feel like I have any reason to put things off except pure laziness! I SAID IT! I can be a couch potatoe with the best of them!

So I am going to take Melissa's lead and set goals for myself! I figure if I write about these things I will be held more accountable for them and might be more likely to keep them. So I know January is more than half way over but I want to get back into the swing of working out. For about the last 2 weeks I have been going to the gym. Brandon has been going with me too so I hope it becomes part of our routine. So for the remainder of the month, I want to go to the gym at least 3 times a week.

Wish me luck!

Way to cold!

I just wanted to share the weather in KNOXVILLE, TN! It is freezing! Tomorrow when I leave for work it will only be 6 degrees!!!! I suggested we close the office due to weather but I don't think that will happen! Well wish me luck!
P.S. I am SOOOOOO jealous of all you people on the West coast and your nice weather!

Professional Bull Riding

Saturday night we got an unexpected invitation from our friends Bridget & Brian to go to PBR! It was so fun! Now if you know me I am not really what some might call "country" but Saturday night was ALOT of fun. I think it was just doing something different. I am happy to report we really enjoyed ourselves!

I got SO MANY pictures but here is a good action shot! Sad to say we didn't see too many cowboys ride the bull. Most of them hit the dirt. So you might think "well at least you saw alot of good falls." Eh not really. It just seemed like they would fall really quick and it would take a few minutes to get the next cowboy ready. So there was alot of waiting. There were some exciting moments however. The rodeo clown got flung into the air by the bull and spun in a circle! Now I know it sounds aweful that I am excited about this but he was ok. If he had been hurt it might not have been so entertaining.

Here we are being silly at the Rodeo!

SO LONG....

Ok so I realize it has been almost a full month since my last post! Things have actually been pretty hectic. Work has been going really well and I have been extremely busy. When I get home the last thing I want to do is get on the computer... you understand right?

Christmas was AMAZING! I was planning on spending Christmas in Nashville with Brandon's entire family, but last minute I got the oppurtunity to go home and I just could not resist. I Flew out to Vegas on December 23rd and surprised my family (my mom and sister were in on it.) It was so great to be home for Christmas. It was tough to be away from Brandon at Christmas but he understood and was very supportive. We both got to spend Christmas with our families so everyone wins!

I can't believe it is already 2009! We hope to accomplish big things this year. We just renewed our lease so we will be in our apartment for at least another 6 months. I am not really sure what we will do after that. Maybe a house is in our future! Alot can happen between now and then so we shall see!

So I know this must get old to hear but I REALLY want to get back in shape in 2009 and lose some weight! Doesn't everybody! I have the motivation to do it but sometimes I have a hard time kicking it in gear. Any suggestions?

I promise to post pictures of my trip home later! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
