Let's do this.

Sorry this blog isn't really insightful, or full of pictures of food, or anything really of great importance. It's a good outlet for me though so deal with it.

Here are some things I want to accomplish in this 23rd year of life.
-Graduate Pima with flying colors
-Run a 25 minute 5k
-Do some pull ups (this has been a goal for like, the past three years. It will happen!)
-Go somewhere tropical/warm with my mom after graduation
-Stop binging once and for all, or at least drastically reduce their incidence
-Transition more fully into the primal lifestyle--real foods, play, healthy habits
-Be more upfront and open about my feelings, rather than bottling them up
-Be more charitable, loving, and thoughtful to all those I encounter
-Read the BOM, attend the temple at least six times, magnify my calling and love it

Here we goooooo!

Things I did when I was 22...

It's my birthday on Sunday, guys. It's been a good year. I've had to grow a lot, which is not always the most fun, but I feel like it's definitely been for the better. Devon and I have settled into married life and are pretty much pros at it now. Just kidding. We're still working and growing and learning every day. It's a challenge, sure, but it's the best challenge I've ever taken on. I love my Devy Dev more than ever.

 All right, all right. Without further ado, here are the other things I've been up to this past year:
-Went skiing at Mt. Bachelor. Twice. It was magical.
-Started a PTA program at Pima, worked with my first CVA patient, got A's, made friends that like to talk about squatting just as much as I do
-Lost 12 pounds. Another 10 to go! You'll hear more about that soon, I think.
-Walked/ran around Greenlake probably a hundred times.
-Learned how to make my moms famous English toffee. Also roasted pumpkin seeds for the first time ever.
-Celebrated one year of marriage with Snoqualmie adventures, ice cream, movies, and Tutta Bella.
-Became a zoo member.
-Beat Devon and Jordan in a game of Jenga.
-Finally figured out how to tame my eyebrows. This is a really big deal.
-Continued to fail at convincing Devon we need a dog.

And that's about all that I can think of. I also watched a lot of Netflix and went on a lot of morning walks. Livin' the dream over here! So here's to another year! Hope it's full of laughter, fun, learning, accomplishments, growth, and love.
