So, it’s been a minute since I’ve been on here. The holidays are a crazy busy time! I thought I’d jump on for the last What’s up Wednesday of 2015. Can you believe another year has passed up by?! Remember when you were younger and a year felt like an eternity and now a year feels like it goes by so fast… Anyhow, let’s get to it.
What we’re eating this week…
Pizza, Alfredo, everything not good for us but oh so good! I’m excited to eat some prime rib for NYE!
What I’m reminiscing about…
The past year. It was filled with so many memories! Here are just a few…
What I’m loving…
Having my nieces and nephew over for their holiday break. It’s nice to have a home full of laughs and to keep Rue busy.
What we’ve been up to…
Celebrating this beautiful season. This can always be a very busy month. Parties with friends and family coming over. Shopping for all my loved ones. Also remembering the reason we really celebrate this time- Our Saviors birth! It’s been busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Maybe some relaxation will come in January.
What I’m dreading…
I’m not really dreading anything. I lied, hubby and I are going to be starting the Whole 30 next week. I’m not looking forward to not having grains and beans…and whatever else I’ll miss once Monday comes. But I’m also excited about it 🙂
What I’m working on…
Still working on my dining room chairs… I’ve got them stripped and ready to be stained. It’s just been too cold to sit in the garage and do it.
What I’m excited about…
I’m excited for a new year! That means new possibilities, new memories and adventures. I’m ready to reach goals this year.
What I’m watching/reading…
I’m a sucker for reality television… I know, I know… anyhow, I’ve been watching Married at First Sight. It’s crazy to see these two strangers meet for the first time at their wedding.
I’m reading Living Well, Spending Less by Ruth Soukup. I’m ready to stop spending frivolously and prioritize things in my life.
In February, I plan on taking her Living Well, Spending Zero challenge. Which is basically 31 days of not spending…what am I getting myself into?! My friend Corina did it and saved a lot of money in that short span of time.
What I’m listening to…
Most of December has been Christmas music. For me it never gets old.
What I’m wearing…
Ugly Sweaters! For Christmas Eve at my parents house, we had an ugly sweater contest. Nate and I tied with 2 others for 2nd place.
What I’m doing this weekend…
Putting all of our Christmas decorations away, tidying up our house, and meal prepping for our 1st week of the Whole 30.
What I’m looking forward to next month…
New challenges, celebrating birthdays and continuing to enjoy the cold weather!
What else is new…
Not much else is new. I am praying for my family and friends. We never know what tomorrow holds or what’s in store for next year. Here’s to 2016 bringing you the joy, hope, love and peace that comes from Jesus. Happy New Year!
