The First Snow of the Season

7 Year Anniversary

It's is astounding to me that Bill and I today are celebrating our 7 year anniversary.  7 years!!  To me it feels like it has been only a couple years at that.  7 years I know that it isn't one of the exciting milestones like 5, 10, 25, 50 but 7 is still a milestone in our life.  It has been a rocky ride with ups and downs like many marriages.  I remember our first year being so twitterpated but at the same time completely getting into fights about absolutely nothing.  The 2, 3, 4 years were a breeze our lives becoming synced.  The 5, 6, 7 are now more about finding myself again while being attached to Bill.  This year especially I'm trying to find myself.  It's all about finding the balance to being me and being a wife and I have been trying to figure it out.  

Today started out with church and then a trip to The Coffee Shop for a Anniversary Bagel and Coffee.  Then a trip to Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain where we gazed out our window and took in the ocean.  From there we went home to change and then a hike up Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain well at least a quarter of the way up so I could get some pictures of the snow.

Yes snow!! Something always happens on our anniversary. When we got married in after an ice storm and ever since there has either been snow, ice, or flooding on our weekend. It is a nice way to celebrate every year like God is putting on a show for us to celebrate it.


 

Bills Birthday

Peter Iredale - Yes this is where we went on Bill's Birthday.  It has been an exciting day.  Starting with a Birthday Coffee and Bagel followed up with a trip to Costco and Petco.  Then a break for lunch at Fultanos for pizza and then to Peter Iredale with a drive from Warrenton to Gearhart.  Does that sound like a birthday or what.

New Years Resolution

So I know that this title to this piece is like so many others around this time of the year.  Everyone gets to start over.  Start fresh.  Start anew.  It's everyones start over for a new year including me.  So many things to choose from every year.  So many things that I want to do and unfortunately none ever actually get done.  However I decided this year I absolutely need to change and I'm going to change one day at a time.  I got a bracelet for Christmas from my parents that reads

"Dreams become reality one choice at a time". 

I have been thinking of the phrase since Christmas and have really been giving it great thought.  It is completely true though when you really think about dreams really can become reality by one choice one decision at a time.  That's what I'm going to start doing.  One choice, one decision at a time.  I'm not sure if everyone knows this about me but I have a list, a bucket list, a huge list.  It ranges from give flowers to someone to traveling the world and everything in between.  Because it's the new year I have given myself a few things to work towards.

1.  To get healthier and work out, really lose weight (of course)
2.  To pay off the credit card
3.  Get new flooring in the house
4.  Have a guest bedroom

I have been doing good so far with number 1 and have steps in place for the other 3.  I'm doing this for me not for anyone else.  I'm going to be selfish this year in a good way though don't worry.  Everything in one step at a time, one choice at a time to have my dreams realized.
