A Night Alone....

So it's been a long time since my last blog. Anyways, I did something that wasn't on my list..but it was my first time doing it. Going to a movie by myself. Wyatt went to go play hockey..and I really wanted to see 'The Last Song' and I knew he wouldn't want to go see it since it is a major chick flick. Anyways, it was really good. The movie and me going by myself. I will definately have to make this a monthly thing...just me time seeing movies that I want to see. You should try it...you don't have to share your popcorn!!!!

Well it's been awhile. Anyways, I finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird....funny how it hasn't really changed since high school ;). I started reading my next book (even though it's not on my list) The Smart Cookies' Guide To Making More Dough and Getting Out of Debt. So far...very interesting. Other than that, I haven't done too many things on my list...except for scrapbooking. I started making cards....I will have to post pictures of my creations and see what you think. That's all for now.........

Well Here Goes....

I am doing this for myself. Well, and for my husband. I have always wanted to do something with my life. I am 22 and feel like I have accomplished nothing or done nothing with my life. I married the love of my life when I was 1.5 month short of my 21st birthday. I would not take back that day for anything.

So my husband has encouraged me to make a list of things that I would like to accomplish and put a deadline on it. Ten years is probably a little too soon...but let's see what can get done in that time. This isn't a bucketlist...this is a goal list...a to-do list...a 10-year to-do list. Let's get going!!!
