oh the january blues

oh gosh where has this month gone? at the same time though...could it just be february already? january is pretty much my least favorite month. the good ol' january blues have set in and that is why i've stopped taking pictures. i feel like nothing fun is happening. but that isn't true. so to try and break these blues here is my list of events from january. our attempt at enjoying this awful month....

deep dish pizza picnics at home on the family room floor

enjoying new episodes of our favorite shows (white collar, castle, modern family etc)

bachelor nights with my girls. oh juan pablo...you make for great entertainment

deep cleaning our room and office

making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. nothing like homemade cookies

lunch dates with the girlfriends

finding creative ways to bundle up an still look cute (not working out so well)

getting our car stuck (the mrs.) and laughing while getting it out 4 days later

booking flights to sunny san diego for a girls trip next month

starting new books. rent collector...amazing already

the mr.'s magic show at school...and he even got a "wow" from a few people (he's that good)

watching our little nephew pound down his first birthday cake

catching up with friends we've missed while we were in utah

working out together at the most beautiful gym we've ever been to

started our 2013 scrapbook and love remembering our great memories

board study for the mr. not so exciting but exciting we're finally to this point (3 months left)

having dance parties to mixes i made years ago 

shopping adventures with girl friends

fun new nail polish color on my nails. somehow this just makes everything happier

getting back to journal writing and goal keeping

game nights with friends where we spend the majority of the time just laughing

loving all our windows that let in a lot of sun...it helps on those cold days

hopefully finishing my quilt and curtains

face timing family...always fun for us! yay for technology

planning our little weekend getaway next week (so excited!)

foot rubs from the mr. he is the best

so even though it is FREEZING here and this winter has been 100x worse than last years we're still trying to make the most of january. spence is busy busy with school and board prep so i've been spending more time with girlfriends. but man am i grateful for the most incredible girlfriends around. i couldn't survive without them. thinking back on everything we've done this month and things to come make me realize that maybe january isn't so bad.....just maybe ;-)
