Goals for the year

I am lucky. As a teacher, I feel like I get two new years. The beginning of the school year is always a chance to do something positive, make a change, try harder. I get January as well. So that I can be held accountable, I guess I will post my goals here.

1- Keep a positive attitude. I am really pretty good at this, especially at work. I usually save the negativity for home. :) However, this year I have a hard bunch of kids, and a very difficult co worker who doesn't do a damn thing! Oh wait...i'm being positive....! The resource officer calls me a "ray of sunshine". Those who know me outsidfe of work probably disagree with that. I will try to live up to his views of me!

2- Lose weight. Oh, the standard resolution. I try so dang hard. Gym, dance, zumba, diet. I have PCOS with an insulin resistance, so this makes it hard to lose weight. I have a referral to an endocrinologist, so I hope that maybe he can help with some answers. It is hard to cut all carbs and gluten. I don't recommend it. I hope that going to the gym in the mornings with my friends will be enough to help. I have lost 5 lbs in the last 2 months. It's not a lot for the amount of effort I have put forth, whereas someone without PCOS might have lost 15. I am trying to stay positive about that as well, and know we are all different and our bodies don't work the same.

3- Buy a house. Yea, we shall see. Devin is done with school in August. My dream is he will find a job, and we will have tons of money and I can buy my dream house. We shall see.

4- Continue to be the best wife and mom I can be. Notice: I CAN BE. I am not trying to be a pinterest super mom. Just the wife and mom my family needs.

What are your goals for this year?

This is my year, I can feel it!

I used to think one day, they'd tell the story of us...

Devin and I met on the internet. Go ahead, laugh. We were both coming out of awful relationships and playing the field. Devin was working in Park City at the time, and drove over to Provo after work to hang out with me and my roomies. He totally ended up kissing me that night. I thought I wouldn't ever hear from him again, but he actually responded to my text the next day! We talked back and forth all day long. The next morning he showed up at my work (45 minutes away from him!) with flowers. The office secretary said, "Oh! He is a keeper!" I wasn't totally sure. After a romantic lunch at Taco Bell, he asked me to be his girlfriend. How corny! But, I said yes of course! Things moved quickly. We ended up stuck in Park City together and had to stay the night at the Marriott due to the weather. My mom was terrified and said, "I watch CSI! Be careful!" Devin and I just stayed up late and talked. That is when he told me he was falling in love with me.He even sang a song to me. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry! Haha! I was feeling the same way. It was so fast, yet so real, and exactly how I thought it should feel! I was smitten! He kept bringing up marriage. I had recently been engaged to a loser-extrordinare, and didn't want to rush into anything. He backed off and said, "Oh yea, me niether!" A few days later we were talking and he looked at me and said, "This is ridiculous, we know we are going to get married!" The next day we went ring shopping! He proposed on January 30, 2008. I was called to the main office and was told the prinicpal wanted to see me. I was kind of nervous! I had just talked to Devin on the phone, and as far as I knew, he was at home! I was also under the impression the ring would be out getting sized for atleast another week. I was not suspicious at all. I walked into the office and saw several flowers, but thought nothing of it. The secretary told me to go around the corner. As I turn, Devin pops out of the nurses office and drops to one knee. In my shocked state, I exclaimed, "You're doing this HERE!?" We laughed, we cried, he got on with it and I said yes. We were married 5 months later, and the rest is history. Or the present. And you get to read about it!
