Goal #1

To be back to Pre-Wedding Weight!

I started Weight Watchers last week and so far I am loving it! My mom has been doing it for a couple months and she looks fantastic, so as much as I HATE diets I decided to try this out because Weight Watchers is more portion control than a diet!

I am adding in Jillian Michael's Trouble Zones Workout!

Several Events all wrapped in one!

Well, since it seems I can not sleep, I figure, why not post something on our blog since it has been so long! So here is goes, an update from the end of December to January.

This year for Christmas we decided to travel to California to see our family, and by family I mean our parents and brothers and sisters. We got to California on the 23rd and stayed until January 2nd. We had a lot of fun and got to see a lot of our family on both sides. We were greatly blessed to be with family, and we were very spoiled this Christmas which was also a blessing because Shaun and I decided to give to other first before we gave each other presents, which meant in the end there were no presents to each other, which turned out to be a great thing. I love giving presents and watching others open presents from us...not to mention Christmas is NOT about the presents, and our greatest present was being with family on Christmas.

I also got to visit two of my very best friends which was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!

We also got to spend New Years Eve and New Years in California and we spent New Years Eve with my family which is always a blast because the Neeley Family is big on Partying (good clean fun of course)!!!

On Saturday after New Years we left and sent the night in Vegas which was a BLAST!!! We went to Fremont Street which is like "Old Las Vegas" and we had yummy Shrimp Cocktails for $1.99! We were lucky enough to have Shauns dad, Jason, and Stepmom Sue with us which made it double fun! While in Vegas we also got to see my Aunt Jodi, and her husband Jordan and their two little girls Ally, and Madison, who we have not seen since they moved pretty much across the country last summer.

Finally on Sunday we arrived home. Home is always nice after a long trip and it was so nice to be in our own bed.

Monday, January 4th school started at BYU which meant not a moment to loose getting back to reality. I am taking an English Class and a Math class there this semester in hopes to slowly but surely graduate!

My company that I have been with for almost 6 months also moved to a BIGGER and BETTER building where there will be a lot of growth. I love changes, especially changes for the better, which lead me into saying that 2009 has been a fabulous year, but I am glad to see it gone and I am happy to see the beginning of a New Year. A time for a new start, and new goals!

Tis the Season..

This is our FIRST year decorating for Christmas! Yes, Shaun and I have almost been married for TWO years, but we got married so close to Christmas that the first year we didn't decorate, and the second year we moved and were living with my Grandparents during the Christmas season. This year we bought out FIRST Christmas tree together, pre-lit and the perfect size for only $35.00! We were pretty excited. We have also started our own tradition. I am sure everyone knows that Christmas decorations are the cheapest AFTER Christmas so we had the idea to add new ornaments to our tree every year! We have a few decoration just from the years leading up to this Christmas, and this year we bought the red bulbs for out tree. This is the start, and next year we will have something new added to our tree. The purpose of this is to watch our tree grow every year just like our family.

I am also a huge wreath fan and I did not have a wreath for Christmas! So trying to find the cheapest way to do it, I made my own! I also made my own garland with a few things from the dollar store.

....and even though we have never decorated for Christmas we have more Christmas decorations then we do for any other holiday! A lot of our decorations coming from family throughout the past two years and we have also collected here and there when we found the after Christmas deals!

Getting Creative!

This Christmas is a tight Christmas financially so I had to put my creative thinking cap on to come up with Christmas Present ideas. My friend, Michelle showed me how easy and CHEAP it was to make these flower hairpieces everyone spends a fortune on! I went CrAzY!

Park City, UT

While our family was here we decided to all go up to Park City, and walk up and down Main Street. It was a great day for going on a relaxing walk and Park City was the perfect place to go to. I have not been to Park City in a very long time and Shaun has never been to Park City so this was a treat! When we got up there we noticed the insane temperature difference between Orem and Park City, luckily we all brought good jackets and we found a store giving out FREE Apple Cider!

It was a lot of fun to see all the different shops and take goofy pictures with a Bear and a Moose!

A very SHADY Alley we came across
