Valentines

Tony and I had a nice Valentines dinner, albeit a day or two late.  Between my kidney stones and Tony's mono, we weren't in very good shape on the day of!  We were later able to make a nice dinner and even dessert. The flowers from Tony were a nice touch.

Hello

I figured it's been a while since I posted something.

Year in Review

Something I always like to do at the beginning of a year is take a look back at some of my big accomplishments.  Past years can sometimes be a blur so I like to look back and see, for example, all the wonderful things I accomplished by age 25!  The accomplishments tend of focus around the themes of love, adventures, health, and responsibility.  Here is what 2011 looked like:

• Got married!
• Had a great honeymoon vacation in Barbados
• Visited many new states for work trips to UT, DC and more
• Learned to cross country ski
• Golfed for the first time
• Finished my first 5K race!
• Started a blog
• Updated our kitchen
• Paid off our debt including my condo, school loans, and our wedding
• Got our insurance and retirement affairs in order

So what's in store for next year?  Well, we are hoping to fix up a couple more rooms in the house, run a 10K this year (if even just with intervals), take advantage of my MANY work trips to see some new places, and built up our emergency savings!  I think 2012 might just be the best year yet :-)
