2013

This years goals:

1. Be an Awesome Person

2. Be an Awesome Mom

3. Be an Awesome Wife

I should totally be able to do all that right? Right?!?!

P.S.
4. Be on top of this blog thing, playing catch up all 2012 was not cool. If my kids didn't love love love looking at our blog books like they do I'd just bag it. But, I'm going to continue doing it for them. I think this falls under the "Awesome Mom" category.

100 Things about me (4/21/10)

I'm a better person for having married Gabe. I would be a total wreck without him. Trust me.
100. I've read all of Jane Austen's novels, and watched 19 different movies from the books
I think about hamburgers all the time, but not french fries.
I don't know how to load music, podcasts, etc. on to my ipod.
I like to keep lists...books read, movies seen, presents I'd like, etc.
I must shower, or I can't function.
I stay up really late, more often than I get up early.
I faithfully take a daily prenatal vitamin, whether I'm pregnant or not.
Staying at a Bed and Breakfast has been on my wishlist for 9 years.

I eat my eggs with Louisiana Sauce
My favorite shirt is a long sleeve tee from Gabe's mission. Not sure how much longer it will last.
