High Five for Friday

It's that time again dearies. A time to relfect on the week!

It's Friday and I'm happy about that.



I'm linking up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk for this weekly posting, "High Five for Friday".
It's meant for us to take a step back and recognize the good things in our week!

Here we go!


 

1) High Five for YOUR Voice!!:

I'm thankful for all the people taking time to sign the petition against SOPA and PIPA.

We can not allow our government to censor the internet.

People, this is what's going on in countries like China.

2) High Five for Prioritizing Relationships:

On Tuesday night's my family goes to Breakfast Club.

Breakfast Club is just us choosing a place and going to dinner.

It's a blast.

However, this Tuesday the hubby and I decided we needed some

 "husband and wife" time.

I love that man.

God is good.

 

3) High Five for Books:

So excited to get this book from the liabrary for book club.

Guess what I'll be doing this weekend...

To Love Anew by Bonnie Leon

4) High Five for Squirt Bottles:

In case you don't know, Mitzy (my kitzy cat), is C.R.A.Z.Y.

Yay for squirt bottles that aid in our trying to chill her OUT.

'Nough said.

5) High Five for Getting-Enough-Sleep-During-the-Week!!!:

I'm on a roll, babies, and I really enjoy sleep.

What are your 5 highlights and what-have-you's for the week?

High Five for Friday

It's about time I joined this link party. I'm linking up with Lauren

From My Grey Desk.

High Five For Friday is meant to help us take a step back

and remember the things that have been

enjoyed or that you are thankful for.

Here we go:

1) I went on my first business trip this weekend.

We were in Orlando, FL for the AFRDS show.

We stayed at the Peabody

(the hotel known for the ducks).

2) If I had to choose some one to do a

business trip with, it would be this girl

(Mary-Catherine, not Snow)!

3) I needed to be reminded that I have a

pretty awesome point and shoot camera.

I'm trying not to be too angsty for a new one...

in 07 or 08.

4) I LOVE my Gap jeans!

Don't judge the price tag... 

they are worth Every. Penny.

5) I got 10 hrs of sleep on Monday night.

I'm hoping for much more this weekend!

Make sure to go check out Lauren and have a fanTABUlous weekend!

"...Jesus says 'done'".

This video may make some of you irritated.

But guess what?

I will not apologize for Jesus and the difference

between His love and mercy and religion.

"Religion says 'do', Jesus says 'done'".

If you have any questions about Jesus, let me know!

Be ready

I know I've been gone forever a while, but don't you worry! I'll be back soon. It's been crazy.

• Highlight - I went on my first business trip.
• Lowlight - I'm exhausted.

Me tonight...

See you soon friendsies!

12 in 2012

One of the blogs I love following is by Kate at The Small Things Blog. She has fantastic hair tutorials and is simply adorable! Back in October she made a post about things she's been meaning to get done called 12 by 2012. I was inspired to post 12 things by 2012 on FB and I've done ok with my list. I'll post it here and update it here.

Here you have it:

1) Get caught up on all laundry to then stay on top of it. Woo hoo! We've done pretty decent at this and we will continue to do so.

2) Organize the mudroom (which serves as a craft/tool/hobby/office-ish stuff area).

3) Make my first pie.

4) Get into a cleaning routine.   I finally have a foothold on keeping things somewhat orderly. I think this will forever be something to get better at. I don't even have kiddos yet!

5) Make photo books for people. I made one for my mom and dad but I want to make them for others as well.

6) Clean out my closet (don't tell Mike I said that)!  I'm super proud to say that I have cleaned out, organized and kept an orderly closet.

7) Start an exercise plan.

8) Jesus time EVERY day. Hannah from Shanks for the Memories is doing a great series that will help me (and you) get started and she will have 2 memory verses a month. Plus, she's flat out fantastic, so you should follow her! I have been doing the Good Morning Girls bible study and it's been great! Check it out here!!!

9) Read a classic book (I'll take suggestions).

10) Is it too late for me to send thank-you cards from my wedding (SO LATE)? I have most of them just sitting here. I'll take opinions on this one.

11) Do a Christmas card thingy.  Yay, I did it!
 
12) Make a felt wreath already!

Some of these might be resolutions but oh well!

So, those are mine.

I'll keep numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 12 and I'll add the following to make 12.

• Loose 5lbs a month (60 lbs in a yr sounds way more doable in 5 lb, monthly increments)! I'm getting there!
• Have a decent amount of money in a savings account and emergency fund.
• Tame down the "stuff" not getting proper use in our apartment.
• Continuous involvement with our church through service. This is only half struck out because it will be a year long (life long, really) commitment. It's easy to use living far away as an excuse but no more!

What are your 12 for 2012?

Cheers to 2012!
