Let's see how I did and how I want to do....

So...it's that time...time to make yearly goals.  As I have stated here, I am not one for "resolutions" but I do like to set some goals for myself. 

Before we begin with new goals, let's see how I did last year...mmmmkay?   See my full post here:

1. Well, let's see...we actually DID meet our goal of buying a new house in 2012...and WAY SOONER than I EVER would have thought.  Financially, selling our house and buying a new one proved to be quite a good move for us.  DONE.  I'm not sure I did so good in the whole saving money part for myself, but as a family...by selling our house we made a good financial decision.

2.  Eating out less, eating fresher.  Yeah...not so much.  On a whole, I do eat much fresher and way less processed foods than I ever have in my life.  But, we still eat out WAY too much. 

3. Baby weight?  CHECK. Plus some?  NOT CHECK. 

4. Drink more water: so so...some days I'm really good at it and others I'll forget all day.

5. Church: I'm happy to report we nailed this one.  We joined a church downtown back in January 2012 and attended pretty frequently until we MOVED.  Now, we have joined a new church and absolutely LOVE it and attend quite frequently.

Just keepin' myself honest here...I've got some work to do;-)

So, what's 2013 got in store for this gal??

1. Give back more.  Whether it be thru church, volunteer opportunities, etc. I want to give back to the community more.

2. Get involved in church.  Not JUST attend.  We LOVE our service, but I do truly feel you get the most connection out of being involved in sunday school or small group.  I'd love to find a SS class we like and one C can go to, some of my best memories from when I was little are from sunday school.

3. Lose TWENTY pounds before I get pregnant again.  YIKES.  I need to do this, for real.  I'm not even going to get into how, why, etc. ...as I've babbled on about my weight loss issues/lack of motivation/discipline WAY too frequently on the ole' blog, but let's just say I do NOT want to get pregnant again until I am back to my happy weight.  On that note, no worries, we don't have a specific timetable for reproducing another Glenn babe just yet...it may be in 2013, it may not...you will just have to wait and see!  *God willing that is.

4. Finish furnishing/styling/decorating the master bedroom and bath, den, and screened in porch.

5. Run a 5k.  Don't laugh.  I am NOT a runner.  Like, can't even get my lazy butt to run a mile.  I HATE to run.  HATE it.  But, dang it I am determined to not be the only person in America (or so it seems) who has never run a 5k.  St. Patty's Day ...it's on.  Eeek...two months to get ready.  Can I do it?!?

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
