24. Be an angel at christmas (buy a gift for a child from an angel tree)

Kevin and I did the angel tree at Stonebriar mall this year... we got 5-7 year old boy: Spiderman. lol very vague but still fun. We got some really cool spiderman action figures. I hope he liked them.

42. 1 month (30 days) without drinking alcohol [0/30]


Kevin is my witness Ive actually gone about two months without drinking any alcohol. Wasnt as hard and I thought it would be....


Kind of a boring post but needed to cross some stuff off...

So I'm getting really good at this, "new blog post every 6 months" thing. Lol. I wish that I was better at this...

I have however completed a few goalsss so I guess not all is lost.

86. Get an apartment or house with no roommates. Just me and Kevin

Done and Done!

We moved into our apartment on October 1st. Its a one bedroom with a HUGE bathroom complete with a built in Vanity for me and TWO walk in closets! Its glorious. We are living in Irving now right across the street from the Cowboys training facility. We love it here.. I wish I had pictures to post but sadly we still dont have the place set up the way we want it... There are still boxes and crap everywhere. LOL. SOMEDAY we will be organized! I'll post pictures then. :-)

73. Own 10 more dresses/skirts

Believe it or not I am starting to wear dresses and skirts more often. Crazy I know... but I have to get all girly and dressed up for my job so......... I now own more dresses and skirts then I have ever owned in my entire life.

38. Complete a 1000 piece puzzle

Sooooo Here's what I've come to realize.. It is damn near impossible to complete a puzzle alone... not because its difficult but because whenever there is a puzzle around everyone wants to help. So I picked out the perfect 1000 piece puzzle for this goal... it was a murder mystery puzzle.. you read a story and then put the puzzle together, look at the image and solve the mystery... I was about halfway through with the puzzle when some friends came over to hangout and they wanted to help me, I couldn't say no... so alas we finished it together.. but none the less we finished it.. thus completing my goal.

6. Get a job

This one is a little interesting... I was recently promoted to Assistant Manager at Nordstrom for my department. Its a salaried position, my first salaried job.. so I'm counting it.. I'm making close to what Kevin makes so.... ya. Ill count it as a real job. lol.

7. Get engaged
8. Get married or set a date to be married

Funny story... Kevin and I were engaged for like 5 days and then we got married. :-) Here's how it all went down.. We've known for a long time that we wanted to get married and spend the rest of our lives together... However we always talked about how we wanted to wait until we had the money to have the big wedding and buy the ring... well considering we've been saying this for the past 3 years it finally occurred to us that we were going to be waiting forever...

We quickly realized that we didn't need the hassle of the big wedding and the waiting for the planning, so we just went for it.

We were married on December 1, 2010 at the JP in Irving, Texas. Our only guests were Kevin's mother and father and My two mothers. It was perfect. We went to dinner afterward to celebrate. I couldn't be happier.



My favorite part was my shoes! LOOOOOOVVVEEEDDDD THEM!!!!!!!!!

So considering we planned everything in like 5 days, the thought of having flowers didn't even cross my mind... but of course my wonderful husband surprised me with a beautiful wedding bouquet of white lilies and white roses!!!
