Fell off the bandwagon...

So it's obvious that I haven't lived up to one of my New Years goals. I fell into the trap that so many people do! I set big goals, get them going for about a month, then life catches up and I just didn't stick with it. So it's time for me to get back on the bandwagon. Here is where I am at with the goals I set for myself:

1. Blog - I haven't blogged in awhile, but that's why I am writing this, right?

2. Be healthy - Still a work in progress. It's hard to make the right choices when your coworkers keep a container of peanut butter m&ms in the room to eat during lunch (which I encourage since they are one of my fav. candies)

 3. Put in more effort at work - I definitely feel as though I have stuck with this goal. It might not be a huge project, but I am putting in more effort.

4. Find a hobby - Also still a work in progress. Suggestions??

I don't feel as though I set my sights too high in sticking with these goals but I am back to try. I can blog once a week, right? Right?

On another note, Jeff and I are coming up to one year in our house. There is still a lot of work to do but it is crazy to think last year at this time we were keeping our fingers crossed to get the house and everything to be fine. As the snow is melting, we are creating our list of spring/summer projects that just won't end.

Last summer, our deck started to rot and I actually fell through one of the boards. We have this huge deck which was one of the reasons we bought the house so when we realized that we needed to rip it up, we were so bummed.

 

 Jeff's family came to town one weekend to help us rip it up.

While I was at my bachelorette party, Jeff called on some coworkers and our awesome neighbor Ryan to come over and help rebuild the deck. They put so much work into the deck that now we have a new, beautiful deck that we can actually enjoy this spring and summer. I was lucky and didn't have to help build it, not that I would have been much help. I can't wait for the first nice day that we can pull out our patio furniture, turn the grill on, and have a relaxing beer. We are almost to that time.... just keep thinking happy thoughts until we get to warmer weather!

Until next time (which will be sooner, rather than in 2 months),
