Temple Square

January 4, 2009 – 5:14 pm

A few months ago with some gentle pushing from my husband I got involved in a fun photography group. It’s called Photowalking Utah. We meet once a month at a different location and take pictures of some of Utah’s best scenery. The greatest part about the group is the different experience levels. I get a chance to learn new tips from the best photographers in the area while seeing new places I hadn’t heard of before.

This month we met at Temple Square to take pictures of the Christmas lights. I have always wanted to go up to Salt Lake with my camera and take the time to get really great pictures of the lights, but around Christmas there never seems to be enough time. This year I made the time and it was worth it.

Here are a few shots from that night.

Resolution

January 1, 2009 – 12:55 pm

Resolutions have never been a very good idea for me. Lets just be brutally honest, my brain tends to run a little on the ADHD side. Resolutions are just one more thing to fail at.

This year I feel the need for a change. After a long six month pity party I feel some drastic changes are in order.

I have decided that some specific/non-specific resolutions are the way to go (got the idea from igottab). Make sense? Not really, but I’ll try to explain.

This year I resolve to be:

  • that kind of wife
  • that kind of mother
  • that kind of friend

In short, I am going to try and be the kind of wife Ash needs me to be. The kind of mother my kids need me to be, and the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend. I figure that any improvement in these areas will equal success.

On a more personal note, my backside has been hanging on for dear life to the last 7lbs that I need to loose.  I resolve this year to finally shed my body of the remaining excess, even if it kills me. I will try and learn how to finally eat right. I have been using Weight Watchers with much success, but I tend to manipulate the system to still eat the crap food and loose weight instead of eating healthy and loosing the weight.

So what are you working on for the new year?
