january fun

So the second week in January we had some Idaho Fun - some of you may not have heard of such a thing, but we went to visit our Fam in Idaho and had a blast! We joked, played, ate yummy food, went bowling, and talked and laughed late into the night! Thanks for being great hosts, we look forward to our next visit!







We also had some fun babysitting our other nephew - he played wii for hours, that's right he has skills! He's growing up so fast - I can't believe he'll be two this year!

vegas! vegas! vegas!

I'm back from my birthday celebration!!! We had a great time - thanks to my awesome friends and sis for helping me ccelebrate my 26th! You're the best!!! Muah!

and so it begins

So this weekend was quite productive as far my list goes, I've crossed one item off and also added a few. We visited Las Vegas with a few friends and my sis, and had a great time. I've also received a few suggestions as far as some of the other items goes, as well. I'm meeting with a new group to begin design competition for a Holocaust Memorial tonight, see details here and look forward to what that has to offer.


LIST:
To read a book in its entirety. I finished it! Now on to the next book... any suggestions?
To participate in more design competitions - two down 1 to start
To start taking the ARE - harumph.
To become LEED GA and eventually AP - more studying :/
To see at least one of the EAE buildings on my list, see this post
To start practicing French, even if it's only with my dogs at first.
To get fit - I'm loving YOGA right now!
To learn Euskara - that's going to be a tough one seeing as I can barely pronounce my family name.
To design some type of art for my house - painting, building, or something cool.
To pay off my last credit card!
To blog - just for me not anyone else, and when I get behind it's cool - because who cares?
To start planning out my own organice garden, avec permaculture and complete with compost pile.
To raise chickens and possibly bees....um... yeah... strange I know
To stop crossing my legs when I sit - it's bad for your posture you know?
To volunteer at an animal rescue.
To buy supplies to set up a photography studio in the basement.
To enjoy.
To make my first bottle of wine - egunsenti vintners
To start learning to play the bass.
To travel anywhere and everywhere I have the opportunity.

intentions

Main Entry:	intention
Part of Speech:	noun
Synonyms:	aim, animus, design, designation, drift, end, hope, impulsion, motive, object, objective, plan, point, purpose, struggle
Notes:	intent implies a sustained unbroken commitment or purpose, while intention would imply an intermittent resolution or an initial aim or plan

Okay so I'm not into New Year's resolutions, but I do have a list of things going in my head all the time, along with all my future travel plans of course, so I decided to jot a few things down with the intent that when I read it, it will remind me that it's one of the many things I want to work on. Then I can add or subtract as I go, because they are just an casual list of things I've been thinking about lately. I'm hopelessly behind on blogging, and then I decided what the hell? I'm stressing myself out over something that doesn't matter it's just for me anyway, so why stress about how to upload 400 pictures from the last 6 months? But for the record Blogger's uploader is ridiculous. So here's to my 26th year, may it be filled with life.

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln
