SYKE! lol. So my new apartment is so close to where I work that I decided I'm going to walk to work. It's like 0.8 miles...haha. BUT because I'm so outta shape the 15 minute walk made me feel like I did a full workout!
I am hoping that walking to work 5 days a week and from work a few nights a week will boost my energy level, get me a little more in shape, and HOPEFULLY I'll drop a few lbs! :) I cannot wait for spring to come...then I can get some sun while I'm walking to work.

CRAZY week...even crazier month!
January 2010=CRAZY!
My year started out with the Florida Gators kicking Cincinnati’s booty and Urban Meyer threatening to leave the Gators. I mean that was all too much excitement & upset for a whole month if you ask me! lol. But life always seems to throw me not one curve ball but at least 8 in a row! ;)
So, I went to my eval back in November. I had a follow up on Jan. 7th for what I thought was a 2nd eval....NOPE. I have to take a class that will better inform me about traffic violations, etc... I mean, that's really not too bad but the class is 4 HOURS long and lasts for 4 WEEKS! Oh and the price is $275 dollars! Blah! But it's my own fault for not getting this done months ago so oh well.
Then the pressure of paying a $1000 fine in one month was outta control. Again, my own fault considering I should have had this paid off over the course of last year. Can we say SLACKER! But friends & fam...I did it and all by myself. On a super tight budget...budgeting right down to the pennies. :)
Then comes the freakin' out stage of "OMG, I haven't saved any money and my lease is up this month!!!!" I did find a really awesome priced apartment super close to work! It's a small 1 bedroom in Midvale/SLC. I will go from a large 2 bedroom with a stupid roommate and practically living in my bedroom b/c he's so weird to living in MY OWN apartment with NO roomies! Go me go me! I move in starting tomorrow. Oh, and how awesome is this...IT'S SUPPOSED TO SNOW! lol I'm really thankful for mom & dad's all around support! Thanks mom & dad!
This past week I have worked all doubles 8am-8 or 9pm. It sucked...but I made it! I have Friday, Saturday, & Sunday off now so I can't complain.
Overall, this month has been crazy busy and stressful. I have to pat myself on the back for getting myself in gear. I have learned that budgeting is the best thing in the world. I've learned that saving money instead of blowing it will save me a stress attack. I've come to realize that I am capable of doing anything and everything I want! But most of all I have to thank my Mom & Dad. They are the most amazing people in the world. And all my friends & family that have stuck by my side through some of the toughest times I've ever had deserve praise too! I love you all!

Out with 09 and onto 2010
I have felt more out of place and more happy with life than ever before...all at the same time! I have had ups & downs with a guy I finally have realized is worth my time and effort. I have gained and lost weight. I have gained and lost friendships. I have turned into a quite a little cooker/baker/crafter and have turned down most of the partying scene. All that being said 2009 has been a whirlwind of emotions....
2010
I plan on 2010 being a great year for me! I am making some big goals for this year and I am going to accomplish them! For starters I am moving out on my own! NO ROOMMATES! lol. Mom is actually going with me today to look at the apartment complex I'm leaning most towards! I am moving up in the company I am currently working for which is great! And while moving up I will be getting a raise which will allow me to get my own wheels around May! I am going to have some much needed independence coming my way this year! I am also making a goal of making my lifestyle healthier. I am excited for this year and hope that each year to follow brings me more and more happiness!
Company Christmas Party 09
On December 19th, we had our annual Company Christmas Party. It was held at the gallavin center; inside a large room with a window over looking the ice skating rink. The settting was nice, the food goo, and everyone looked great! The owners bought all the gifts for the white elephant exchange...needless to say the gifts were amazing! Flat screens, ipod mixing stations, ski trips, hawaii vacations, and such were given out. I ended up with something I can't complain about...a Tim Tebow signed Florida Gators Mini Helmet! :)
Baking Sugar Cookies Part 2
Well it took me awhile to find some time to post this blog but here it goes.....
After mom saved the day by helping me save my dough, I refridgerated the dough over night. And for the next few days I was a sugar cookie baking maniac! I made more dough about 5 days later and continued to bake away! The cookies were much appreciated by co-workers, Shawn, Shawn's family, mom & dad, and Jordan's family....and my own belly! lol Below are some pics!
