New Year's Part 3

New Year's Resolutions:

What would the New Year be like without any form of looking back on the old year and making resolutions and goals for the new year. 2010 was a decent year, for the most part. I worked at Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center, was a full time nanny for the cutest little girl named Sabrina, moved out once in the basement of a house in West Jordan, moved back home after the bad experience of moving out into the basement of a house in West Jordan, got a new job at a big company Cybersource, and moved out again down to Provo where I am happily living now. It has definately had its ups and downs. Times are still a little rough when it comes to family life... but we are making it. Sometimes it hurts to breathe and the hole in my heart will never stop aching or be hole again. We hold onto each other and find out strength inside each other. I am very grateful for my close friends who keep me going, keep me happy, and really, keep me alive. You are all a great strength to me. Thank you. So, time to say goodbye to 2010 and bring on the new times in 2011! (Assuming the world hasn't ended by the time this is posted...) Moving on to the resolutions:

• Be Financially Stable
• Lose 25 lbs
• Be happy

Yep, they are few in numbers but tall in stature. Only 3 resolutions, all realistic. Ok 2011... Let the games begin!

New Year's Part 2

For dinner on New Years Eve me and Allie had a little dinner date at the Brick Oven. I had never been before, but let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! We had their old fashioned root beer, garlic cheesy bread, and the BBQ chicken and pineapple pizza. Let's just say, we were both stuffed to the bone!

New Year's Part 1

Come Back to Texas?! Come Back to Utah!!!

We had a little free time on our hands this morning...and thought we would be hee haw larious to make a music video with Kristen's song "Come Back to Texas". We just changed the words.. did a little dance... had a little song.. And badabingbadaboom! Enjoy!

Whose A Pretty Princess?

Maren Is!!!

Thanks Ashley Rose!!!

Before...

For christmas my present from Kristen was a "Free Wax, Cut and Color" from her sister Ashley. I also got the same coupon from Carmel and Claire. Woo and HOO! I have been in desperate need of getting my hair done... and eyebrows waxed.. lets be honest I've just let myself go as far as the Beauty department is concerned. So, tonight I finally am getting together with Ashley to make me gorgeous again! And I thought a Before and After post was necessary.

So, Here is me before... Notice my face of horror that I am even posting this. I did nothing with my hair today really, plus I was out in the snow for a good amount of time getting my car driveable.

And the horrible regrowth... This is just my hair screaming at Ashley to please redo it...

On a side note... this is like one of my most favorite shirts. And, I have to say that it is not as snug as it usually is.. which only means one thing! Some weight loss! Another woo and hoo!

So, enjoy this lovely array of "hair desperately needing some tender loving care" and stay tuned for the magic of my stylist and saloonist Ashley Westover Albiston!

Allie's Dinnertime Creation

My sweet Allie is quite the cook. There hasn't been anything that she has made I haven't liked. I think that my top favorites are her Potato Soup and the Chicken Enchiladas. The Potato Soup we had on Tuesday and it was DELICIOUS. All that you put in it is some cream, potatoes, water, milk, salt, and the bacon bits at the end. I am very sad that it is Allie's last week. But it has been kind of nice because it's been just me and her the whole week! So our nights have been spent "just the two of us" and singing "you and me, me and you, both of us together!" quite a bit. I love her freakin' guts and you had better believe I will pester her to come back to Utah more often than not! I wish you luck in school Allie and will miss you DESPERATELY!
