Goodbye 2011, hello 2012!

I feel like I should be writing something epic today… but honestly, my mind is so jumbled up I almost didn’t even want to write an entry. But I haven’t missed writing an entry on NYE since, what, 2000?

2011 was one of the BEST years of my life, legit. I got to cross off #1 on my bucket list + live my dream + make amazing friends from all over the world. I was lucky enough to live in a completely different state and on my own. I made Yelp Elite (something I’ve been working towards for years), made Amazon Vine (another working towards for years thing), I took a week long vacay to Vegas and Disneyland, I made YouTube partner… I pretty much accomplished everything I wanted to. So what’s left to accomplish in 2012?! Not much, to be honest.

I would like to make more time to read and review books (since I didn’t get much time to do that this year) and discover new book loves, to make more and better videos, to make more time for creativity. I want to learn how to knit/crochet. I want to come up with my own recipe. I want to go to NY to visit friends and see Wicked on Broadway. I want to improve my GPA. I want to take more pictures. I want to write again. Really write. I want to be the change I want to see in the world.

I’m thinking of making a new LiveJournal and writing every single day about how I feel because it’s been far too long since I’ve done that. I don’t write and think like I use to and I miss that. But being older, there’s so much more to worry about. I’m thinking of launching a new blog that has to do with — food, of course. A friend of mine is starting his own travel business and it sort of inspired me to really look into something I’ve been thinking about doing for awhile… starting my own non profit organization. But it’s going to take a long time to get together, but it’s something that I really really believe in and for people like me, we need somewhere to turn.

So those are my resolutions for 2012, it’s not so much in a form of a solid list this year like it usually is and there isn’t a million things on there, like there usually is. But there are big things that I’m looking forward to.

Oh and the usual things too; eat healthier, drink less soda and do something active once a week.

Hope 2012 is amazing for all of you as well!

What a mess.

This is what my room currently looks like…

The area in front of my TV isnt a big enough area to actually walk in, so I guess it encourages my bad habit to just stack things there. I clean this area out once or twice a year, there’s just so much stuff there to sort through. But I need to sort through this area (and the rest of my room) by the end of January or my husband gets the opportunity  to go through my room himself and sort through my things. That’s the deal we made. I’ve been putting off cleaning out my room for almost 2 years now.

He just got mad at me just now cause I was going to put my clothes in the dryer and he said he would so he rushed in there, pouted at me and shut the laundry room door on me lol!

This year, I hope to be more organized. I was really excited to buy this planner. I wanted to get a moleskin, I’ve been itching to get a moleskin for a lonnng time! But unfortunately the place I went to didnt have moleskin’s, so I just got this planner instead. But I still do plan on getting a moleskin this year! I was also excited to get the new notebook under it for when I go back to school. Is it nerdy that I get excited when I buy new school supplies? :)

I have a lot of cleaning up to do for this new year, I just cleaned out a bunch of clothes and there’s still a ton left! Oyee.

Goodbye 2009!

Another year has flown passed me and it still freaks me out how fast time is flying. 2009 wasnt bad but it wasnt great either. But it has been the best in the last few years :)

The friends I hung out with in 2008 were pretty non existent in 2009. Martin and I didnt have one huge fight in 2009 :) we’ve been doing great and that’s a pretty good accomplishment lol. I started my paid blogging and I was rejected and accepted by lots of companies. I hit over 100 subscribers on youtube. I made a bunch of really really great friends over youtube and blogger. I got to go to Disneyland for my birthday (even though I missed Blue Bayou thanks to a stupid migraine). I discovered Wicked (and got to see it twice). I networked with my favorite makeup company through Twitter. I found a friendship with my favorite Wicked musical actor. I got to see the 70th anniversary of Wizard of Oz in theaters. I got my first CT Scan, which was gross and scary but something I had to do. My best friend became my fiance. I got a taste of the military spouse life and let me tell you… it wasnt so sweet. But I think it did amazing things to our relationship and it was an incredible experience for both of us. I got a nice reality slap of how much he really does care about me. I discovered how amazing and caring my sister is even if she was a total pain when she was younger. I planned an ENTIRE wedding in two months, I think that’s a huge accomplishment in itself! I discovered Glee! I became more of myself (meaning I spent more money on books and less money on makeup). I realized that my parents arent always against me and how much they care. My mom bought me a hamster (which is so odd since she gets mad when I bring home hamsters, but since Martin was gone I guess she figured I needed the company which I am so thankful for). My dad insisted on helping me pay for my wedding :). I watched more movies this year than I did any other year. I had the best Christmas ever! I GOT MARRIED to my bestest friend <3. I got to fulfill my 8 year dream of eating at Serendipity. I got to see Las Vegas during the holidays. I got to see my amazing cousin for two days straight :). I got to spend New Years Eve with myhusband who helped me put together my traditional 12 round fruits, jump up and down with coins and gave me the most loving kiss at midnight.

Not much con’s of 2009 are coming to mind, that’s pretty amazing. Besides not having a job all year (by choice, so that’s not really a con), getting more in debt and not being able to clean out my room… I have nothing bad to say about 2009. For the most part, I’ve been happy this passed year. What more could you ask for?

I dont really have any resolutions for this year, at least nothing huge and big. The usual…

- Eat at 5 new restaurants
- Disneyland for our honeymoon!
- Get rid of half of my debt
- Learn how to use my camera right
- Learn WordPress/CSS
- Listen to more music!
- Study Wicca
- Prepare to enlist into the USAF

And of course, to be a good wife. I am so lucky to have an amazing best friend and husband by my side. Who’s never given up on me no matter how stubborn, bratty, grumpy I am and no matter how much I dont listen. He never gets mad at me, he never blames me, he never screams at me. I wish I could be as good to him as he is to me (which is so hard because I’m super selfish, grr). I still cant believe I GOT MARRIED! I still cant believe that I’m a WIFE. I’m not his girlfriend anymore, I’m his WIFE. Nothing has changed, it doesnt feel different at all… but just knowing the title changed and I added one more ring to my finger is just… still hard to believe. I dont think it’s fully hit the both of us yet.

Things with the military didnt work out, right now. And it is kinda odd that we’re married but suddenly we’re unprepared… but its not like we woke up one day and said “hey, lets go get married” or anything. And though maybe the timing wasnt right, I dont think I’ll ever regret it. I’m married to someone I knew I would eventually marry and to someone I couldnt see my life without. So we’re married. So we’re not moving out for awhile, so what? We’re happy, and that’s all that should really matter.

The Airforce should watch out, we’re both going to get its ass good next time :).

The lazy newly married couple

To my husband, thank you for loving me this passed year (and all the other years before, but hey lets focus on the 2009 part, k?). Thank you for your never ending support. Thank you for jumping at every chance you could get with helping me with my blogger or recording/editing my videos or with my OCD. I’m proud of you for leaving me for the military, even though it didnt work out (and you’re not a failure, you’re still my airman) words cant express how proud I am of you! How proud I’ll always be of you. How happy I was when you came home! Thank you for being so caring and loving in everything you do, in every situation between us you handle. For not being mad that I dont know EXACTLY how your favorite video game characters look and for keeping me grounded. For understanding me when I dont even understand myself, for kissing away the worries and rubbing the stress away from my forehead. For helping me wash dishes and make the night easier on my parents last night. Thank you for never letting go of my hand, even during the times I try to shake you off the hardest. For being excited over silly things with me. For knowing how important Serendipity is to me. For encouraging me to push my limits and to be better than I was yesterday. I owe my life to you, you didnt have to save me 6 years ago and you didnt have to KEEP saving me 6 years later. But I thank you. I thank you so much. You have no idea how much you mean to me and how thankful I am for you.

I love you best friend. I’ve always loved you. I will always continue to love you. I’m so happy to be your wife. I’m yours forever. I hope you’re ready for a lifetime of crazy OCD-ness! That’s all I got, everything else (compulsive shopping, hoarding, doubting myself) you already got under control :).
