Hey, I do have a whole year, right? ;)<br /><br />1. Stop biting my nails. <em>I say this every year, but it's getting worse and worse. This time I mean it.</em><br /><br />2. Start waking up 1 hour before I normally do. <em>Every morning I am so rushed to get out the door. I need to take some time for myself and sit down with a cup of coffee, read the paper, and take my time getting ready. My mornings would be so much less hectic.</em><br /><div></div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424154003010440834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 234px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0Z3U8xzToI/AAAAAAAAAF8/Xc6sTRlAQS0/s320/MorningCoffee.jpg" border="0" />3. Be more punctual. <em>I have to admit that I am often times late for things. Being tardy is not a good trait, and I don't want to have it.</em><br /><br />4. Find a way to get more energy. <em>It seems that I am always tired these days, and I need a way to boost my energy level. I should probably start exercising....</em><br /><br />5. Exercise! <em>I really want those special shoes that tone your body while you walk. That seems like an easy way to tone up without having to go to the gym!<br /></em><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0Z5dpzUnAI/AAAAAAAAAGE/sIWDtqkXJ-g/s1600-h/shape+ups.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424156351558622210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 284px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0Z5dpzUnAI/AAAAAAAAAGE/sIWDtqkXJ-g/s320/shape+ups.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div>6. Learn to sew.<br /></div><br /><div>7. Start getting more into my blog, and learning how to get out there in the Blog World.<br /><br />8. Work on one crafty project a month. <em>I would love to make this one project a week, however I do have two jobs, and I just don't see myself keeping up with that one.</em><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0Z6qFglDbI/AAAAAAAAAGM/wd_Sm3BqVaI/s1600-h/pompoms.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424157664666258866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0Z6qFglDbI/AAAAAAAAAGM/wd_Sm3BqVaI/s320/pompoms.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />9. Take more pictures.<br /><br />10. Learn to cook. <em>I know the basiscs, but now that Jamie and I are on our own, I'd like to learn how to make wonderful meals for the two of us to enjoy on our nights together.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0aA5PSa6NI/AAAAAAAAAGc/iQBSGBjkWJU/s1600-h/cooking1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424164522059032786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 254px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0aA5PSa6NI/AAAAAAAAAGc/iQBSGBjkWJU/s320/cooking1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Also, then I could have an excuse to wear one of these!<br /></em><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0Z_1za-b2I/AAAAAAAAAGU/hqEjIBelLUI/s1600-h/apron.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424163363527487330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 170px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/S0Z_1za-b2I/AAAAAAAAAGU/hqEjIBelLUI/s320/apron.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div>11.

Even though we technically can move in a week earlier, Jamie has finals all that week, so we thought we'd wait until that stress was over to begin a whole new level of stress! LOL, nah, it's going to be so much fun, I can't wait! We are going to have a lot of people helping us move, so Jamie thought it would be fun to get a keg or two for the boys, get some BBQ going, and make it a moving party! That should get everyone motivated!<br /><br />I was veggin' on the couch last night being super lazy, and I began to realize, "Hey, we are moving in 3 weeks!" so I got up and started packing up some stuff! I LOVE PACKING! Here are our first boxes.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/SxVjsso-yiI/AAAAAAAAAFM/Z1loTZR97Tk/s1600/IMG_0489.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/SxVjsso-yiI/AAAAAAAAAFM/Z1loTZR97Tk/s320/IMG_0489.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410340146903960098" /></a><br /><br />And look how cute our packing tape is!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/SxVkJAWJJAI/AAAAAAAAAFU/TT-_W8rvrxo/s1600/IMG_0490.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/SxVkJAWJJAI/AAAAAAAAAFU/TT-_W8rvrxo/s320/IMG_0490.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410340633229992962" /></a><br /><br />Oh dear, you know someone is obsessed when they start taking pictures of BOXES. I don't care, I'm so happy! YAY!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080536594417304597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916190304996733875.post-4534060819028390892009-11-25T14:35:00.000-08:002009-11-25T14:43:09.202-08:00Well, the day has finally come...Jamie and I are officially HOMEOWNERS! I can't beleive it! I am sooooo incredibly happy, I just can't stand the excitement! It has been a very long and drawn out process; mountains of paperwork and months of waiting. Now it looks like all of our patience and hard work have finally paid off!<br /><br />I can't wait to move in! We don't have an official move-in date as of yet, but it will be around the 15th of December. So Jamie and I will be able to have our first Christmas in our new house! YAY! And with Thanksgiving being tomorrow, we definitely have a lot to be thankful for!<br /><br />Like I said before, I am going to be posting a lot more frequently now that we finally have the ball rolling on our move. This is a huge part of our lives, and I want to document every little thing! (No matter how annoyed Jamie gets with my constant picture taking! He hates taking pictures) So I hope everyone has an amazing long weekend. I know I will! <br /><br />xoxo HeatherHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080536594417304597noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916190304996733875.post-32077215565843948882009-11-10T09:56:00.000-08:002009-11-10T10:00:04.973-08:00Bad RomanceI am absolutely in LOVE with Lady Gaga! She is so talented and edgy, I just adore her. Check out her new video if you haven't seen it yet. It's really dark and it kind of makes you feel weird, but that is what I love about it. And her outfits! Truly amazing.<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ACm9yECwSso&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ACm9yECwSso&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080536594417304597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916190304996733875.post-76152902808173483312009-10-20T10:01:00.001-07:002009-10-20T10:16:47.280-07:00Shake It!I am so in love with the new "<a href="http://shakeitphoto.com/"><span style="color:#6633ff;">Shake It</span></a>" iPhone application. It's like having a poloroid camera in your phone! You just take a picture, and it comes up looking like a fresh poloroid. Then you shake it to make the image appear! How cute is that?!?! Here are some shots I took from the view of our friends' cabin in Big Bear this weekend using Shake It.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/St3vMCsI-QI/AAAAAAAAAFE/h-lNX4DkHdk/s1600-h/bigbear2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394730918819199234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 313px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/St3vMCsI-QI/AAAAAAAAAFE/h-lNX4DkHdk/s320/bigbear2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/St3urrgQBYI/AAAAAAAAAE8/R-4emFxKFlA/s1600-h/bigbear1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394730362839500162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 313px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/St3urrgQBYI/AAAAAAAAAE8/R-4emFxKFlA/s320/bigbear1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/St3ufLmP0mI/AAAAAAAAAE0/g5C_Fd_as7k/s1600-h/bigbear3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394730148116288098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 313px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vmkAgOpcORo/St3ufLmP0mI/AAAAAAAAAE0/g5C_Fd_as7k/s320/bigbear3.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080536594417304597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916190304996733875.post-48526041822653355352009-09-24T11:45:00.000-07:002009-09-24T11:47:52.279-07:00Alice In Wonderland RemixHow cool is this?!?

Yay! I cannot believe it, I never thought I would be a home owner at the age of 26, but it looks like I will be! I have to say though, this wouldn't be possible right now if it wasn't for this "first time home buyer stimulus" that is going on this year. So THANK YOU OBAMA! :D We should be signing papers sometime this week, and then escrow should close shortly after that. I CAN'T WAIT! Two and a half years of being married and living with roommates (can you imagine???) and we can finally properly start our lives together.<br /><br />Jamie and I are going to be doing a lot to this house, so I will be posting a lot of pictures, design ideas, and before-and-after shots. I have a lot of ideas running through my head, and I will be documenting them all, so stay tuned!<br /><br />xoxo, HHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080536594417304597noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916190304996733875.post-29570886486856380332009-09-17T16:12:00.000-07:002009-09-17T16:16:35.883-07:00Poor little Frenchie!<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JIKaIriiK8w&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JIKaIriiK8w&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080536594417304597noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916190304996733875.post-23331979273529121052009-09-17T15:05:00.000-07:002009-09-17T16:11:25.949-07:00My First Blog!Hello out there! My name is Heather, and this is my very first blog! I am so excited to start getting into the blogging world. I have been thinking about it for a long time now, but I finally got the courage to actually do it! A while back, my best friend <a href="http://svenskagirl.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#6600cc;">Courtney</span></a> sent me an email and told me to follow the link to the <a href="http://madebygirl.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#6600cc;">cutest blog</span> </a>she has ever seen. Ever since then, I have been hooked! And after months and months of oohing and ahhing over other people's lovely and creative blogs, I decided I want me a piece of that action! It will probably take me a while to get started, as I am new at this, but I'll get it eventually! Thank you for visiting me!<br /><br />xoxo, HHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15080536594417304597noreply@blogger.com1
