Birthday Celebrations

Today, I celebrated my 23rd birthday with family and friends. I enjoyed homemade waffles with strawberries, the beach, USA vs Japan World Cup final game (unfortunatley USA lost), ziti dinner and delicious cake. I also received many thoughtful gifts :)

Alexander Springs

A beautiful June weekend at
Alexander Springs with great friends!
Jenn and Broc met us for a weekend filled with cooked meals over fire (well coals due to fire ban), a four hour canoe run, endless card games, dominos, s'mores, wildlife and refreshing dips in the 72 degree spring.

It was a fun and relaxing summer weekend!

Back to school!

Well, it is officially the third week into the Spring semester. It sure doesn't feel like Spring with the highs only being mid 50's. Logan and I have finally settled back into the school routine but this semester calls for alarm clocks set between 7 and 8am EVERY day of the week. We are not too excited about that, but with every passing week we are that much closer to the end of the semester.

I never got to put my goals for 2011 down on paper so I decided to do it here so I can look back come 2012 and see how I did. I know resolutions are usually the thing to do but I am not really changing anything so I decided to call them goals instead.

• Study hard and continue earning good grades
• Save money
• Get some scrapbooking done this year (none got done in 2010)
• De-clutter and get a bit more organized
• Continue working out, but bump it up a little
• Make it to church on Sundays as often as possible
• Try new things
• Visit at least one place new

So far those are the major goals and I am looking forward to all of the fun times following through with them will bring. Until next time...
