My 2015 Goals

Currently, I have what I refer to as "freight train brain." It is this constant, busy, never ending jumble of thoughts, ideas, goals, wants, needs, randomness, future, present, past, and everything else. When I get like this, that just means it is time to spill it all out into some type of organized space somewhere besides on my poor husbands already full plate. ;)

Here's to early spring cleaning, mentally...and hopefully at least somewhat literally.

Health/Physical Goals: 
Drink more water.
Work out daily or at least weekly. Right now I'm on my 2nd week of working out at home and starting to reeeaally crave the gym.
Lose the other 20 lbs of baby weight. At my own pace. Goal weight: max 125 lbs.
Eat healthier instead of sporadically and follow through with a real regimen. No more slim fast bars...I'm already the type of person who favors and craves vegetables and fruit constantly. I just need to make it more at my disposal.

  
Stop counting calories and just eat what's best.
Drink Green Tea.
Go Hiking. 
Consistently take Hair, Skin, & Nails vitamins.
Get dressed in normal people clothes almost daily. Ha.
Get outside frequently.

Get back to this ^^

Lifestyle Goals:
Commit to my goals. Really.
Read more books. Any books.
Go to the mountains.
Binge watch less TV. Save that for when I'm heavily pregnant.
Start crafting more 
Establish career goal. Self-employed Wedding Planner. Etsy Shop?
Continue to speak more positively. Over myself & over others. 
Write. A lot.
Catch the sunset often.
Continue learning Spanish. 

Other Goals:
Sell my BMW. It's time to make more room for baby girl's carseat and be fair to my giant dogs ha.
Buy SUV. Meanwhile, not splurging on something as luxurious. ;)
Go to hockey games again.

Adam & My Bucket List (Started in 2010):
Above & Beyond Concert
Cliff Diving

Rant/Goal: Because I had to get it off my chest somewhere.
Stop taking that stupid tollway. Because it's ridiculously overpriced and they slammed me with FIFTEEN $25 fines for using the tollway 15 individual times during August & September (9 months pregnant then the month of Harper's birth). This means they charged me $25 for 15 different $3 tollway uses. And I didn't pay right away because I had a newborn baby. I mean seriously, what new mom can even keep up with any type of irregular bills when they have a newborn?! It took a lot of coffee and a lot of motivation to even get out to the mailbox for those letters. Yes, we're still trying to fight it, and no they're not budging. I haaaave, however, gotten it down from $600 to $300 something, when it started at $75, before the "late fees". They should only be allowed to charge a monthly late fee, not an individual usage fee. Blows my mind.

Love You Forever

It's nearly 1am and I find myself sneaking into your room to scoop you up into my arms and rock you just to stare at you. You weren't crying at all. Not to be fed nor to be held. I simply wanted to hold you. To feel your tiny little baby self on me. 

I never want to take for granted the minuscule amount of time we have together as you being this little. I know you will always be my baby but you won't always be this way as you are already growing up way too fast! Are we really only 7 months away from you being 1 year old?! It's ridiculous. Everytime I find another outfit or another fuzzy sleeper that doesn't fit, it brings tears to my eyes! It's a rough life being your mama with all these tears all the time ;) Oh, but it is so incredibly rewarding. 

Your smile and your happiness is everything to me. It always will be. I'm going to miss when your little nose was the size of my thumbnail as it is right this second - I know that because I just held you in my arms wrapped up tight and close to me. 

You truly are my own piece of heaven, Harper Eve. ❤️
