New Years 2011/2012

I finally have a few New Years resolutions this year... which is a big deal! Fingers crossed we will stick out our resolutions in 2012:)  

Christmas was awesome we had a lot of fun with family and friends! We did not get one picture of ANYTHING... I am so mad at myself! It was so good to see family though. Mike and Jen and Kristine and Chuck all came to AZ and it was so good to see them and our nieces and nephews (especially our new nephew Henry!). We had a great Jungle Boys party at the Komenda residence, lots of fun and so good to see everyone! AND Jose got her mission call to Farmington, New Mexico!! SO HAPPY! Love you Jose!:) They will be so lucky to have you, and I will be bitterly jealous of them! So excited for my sister.

2012 might be a long one but we have already received so many blessings! Grateful we have a job at all, grateful there is a good chance I will get to finish my degree (even though it means being apart for a semester:( it will be worth it! Right???), thankful for the opportunity to study abroad and thankful for a sweet husband that is so supportive and encourages us to achieve goals. And most of all, we are so grateful for a Savior who will be carrying us through the next 12 months.

Health!

 I have always loved food WAY more than the idea of having a rockin' bod (I admire and am jealous of people with such amazing self-discipline though) but after being at the hospital and seeing some things, I am going to try to eat and exercise to liveI think that is the only thing that will really keep my attention. It might stick if I can think about what each bite is doing to my arteries instead of my hips- they have a mind of their own anyway:) In honor of this we got P90X for Christmas, and its been kicking my trash ever since!:) (Thanks Eric and Holls!)

Cooking/Eating


Mama got me this cookbook for Christmas and I am in love! Seriously, I have been creeped out with how obsessed I am; I carry it with me like it's a textbook or something!
There are {some} healthy options inside and it is just jam-packed with yumminess. So excited to still eat treats that make my brain happy but also eat some foods that will make my body happy too!! Notice this is not a diet, pleeeeease don't ever hold me to that.  

Catch up on some reading


This book and I have a date {359 days to be exact!}. Matty got me this beautiful triple combo for Christmas, thanks babe! I needed some new ones in a real way. I am excited to get re-acquainted and soak up the goodness, and I am hoping to do more studying than just skimming at midnight, partially unconscious! 

If you would like one check out this link...


So grateful for this new year,we are turning the page and hoping to become better and to endure better:) Hope your new years was awesome! Happy 2012!
