Welcome 2013

Well it's a new year and my promises for this year look a lot like the ones from last year. I did manage to put a little bit of money aside and worked on my debt. And we should close on our house towards the end of January.
  

Let me catch you up on what's happened in 2012...

On Christmas night Anthony proposed.

We found out we are having a baby girl in mid April.

This is Amelia Rose Zema.

My 2013 Promises

I promise to find a career that I can be proud of and enjoy.

I promise to put aside as much money as I can afford for rainy days.

I promise to erase as much of my debt as I possibly can.

I promise to be happier with myself.

I promise to wake up and walk/run every day that I can so I can be a healthier weight in 2014.

I promise write more. It is what I want to do with my life after all.

I promise to read more.

So 2012 has been an exciting and wonderful year for me. And I hope 2013 will be just as wonderful.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame....

  On Tuesday, Anthony and I went to a Nashville Sounds ballgame. Even though they lost to the Iowa Cubs I had a blast. Who couldn't with such an amazing guy sitting right beside me.

 

This is my instagram photo of the field.

 

My favorite picture of the whole night! ♥

The planes from the Nashville International Airport flew right over the field.

 

 

And of course Fourth of July fireworks at the end of the night even though it was a day ahead.

 

We are planning on going again on July 14 so see the Albuquerque Isotopes. They feed into the LA Dodgers which is Anthony's favorite team.

Music Monday

Today's music comes from the Canadian duo, One More Girl. These future country super stars, Britt and Carly McKillip, are rockin' out to  their single "Maybe" which I highly recommend. I mean why else would I play it on my blog right? Well go ahead, give them a listen. According to their website, they will have a CD release sometime later this month.

Bathroom Shelf Project

My mom brought home this shelf for my bathroom, I just needed to fix it up a bit. Of course I had some help from the nephews with this project.

P.S. That's Buttercup (named after The Hunger Games) He is mean as a snake and hisses like one too.

This is a welcome addition to my bathroom. I had no place to put my towels. Until now they've been on the back of the toilet. Plus I like anything pink.

Chalkboard Project

I found this old whiteboard behind a dresser in my hallway so I decided to change it into a chalkboard to hang in my bathroom.

The writing says, "One must suffer to be beautiful." Perfect quote for the bathroom I think.

Patio Table Project

I found this cute patio table at Kroger for only $99! 

 

Of course Red is not my color so I had to spruce it up with a lovely shade of pink!

Right now its sitting in my hallway. It makes me wish I was sitting at a bistro table in Paris underneath the Eiffel Tower. Not too bad for my first project. I have a few more on the way so stay tuned.

Memorial Day Canoeing 2012

Bailey (Meagan's Cousin), Meagan,Dani, Sam, Me

This Memorial Day the Buffalo Wild Wings Crew tool to the water again. This time we chose the Buffalo River in Pulaski, Tenn. (Get it, we work at Buffalo Wild Wings and were on the Buffalo River!) 

Anyway, we started out much sloppy but in no time Sam and I had our canoe under control. We had this!

Three boys and five girls, at least we out numbered the boys this year. 

Don't you love our hats! Shout out to Samuel Adams!

Larry, Tim, Dani, & Jarod

Just chillin' on the water!

This is Henry. His owner's last name is Winkler, so that makes his name Henry Winkler! AYE!!!!!!

Last year we saw a duck on the Duck River this time we saw a cow. Hey, it resembles a Buffalo.

What an amazing trip. We are going to try and go again on July 4th. Hopefully on the Duck, the Buffalo was way too shallow and people kept tipping their canoes, thankfully we didn't tip ours, not to mention the Buffalo is over an hour away from me. Until next time.
