Oh, January. You went by so quickly, but at the same time- I feel like I experienced you to the fullest. That’s been the change I’ve wanted to make for 2015. I know life flies by, and I know that the days are long but the years are short. But, if I’m out there collecting as many moments as possible rather than letting time pass me by- I can look back and think that the time flew, but I still experienced all I wanted to.<\/p>\n

January was a great start to the year. I did everything I set out to do and more. Here’s a little recap of the memorable moments of January 2015!<\/p>\n

Traveled:<\/strong> At the beginning of the month\u00a0I went to Las Vegas<\/a> for my 25th birthday, which was a blast!<\/p>\n

\"Processed<\/a><\/p>\n

Read:<\/strong> I read a cheesy romance novel with a title I cannot remember, I reread the Diary of Anne Frank (SO AMAZING), and I’m currently reading One Thousand Gifts for a work bible study.<\/p>\n

Ate & Drank:<\/strong> SO many memorable meals and drinks from this month- most of which were from my Vegas food tour<\/del> birthday trip. Let’s see… memorable\/favorite restaurants are Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill (best fries ever), Wicked Spoon (best buffet ever), Secret Pizza (white pizza- enough said), Canaletto (pasta!!), Mon Ami Gabi (crepes), and Blue Flame (sushi and the best crab won-tons ever). Also, to die for cupcakes from Sprinkles! I’ve made some pretty yummy things in the kitchen myself this month as well, including lots of soups, and baked spaghetti<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nFriends:<\/strong> I got to see my bestie a couple times (New Year’s & Winterfest weekend), and chatted with some others a couple times. I’m hoping for more friend time this year!<\/p>\n

\"Processed<\/a><\/p>\n

Family:<\/strong> I was pretty lucky with the family time this month. Between Vegas with my parents, a brunch and a birthday celebration with my family, dinner and game night with Marty’s little sister, and football at Marty’s dad’s- I’ve had a great family month!<\/p>\n

Exercise:<\/strong> Alright- this area needs work still. Aside from the short dog-walks here and there, I haven’t been all that active. I did go snowboarding once which was a great workout though!<\/p>\n

Celebrate:<\/strong> Since January is my birthday month- I feel like I’ve celebrated a lot. New Years, a couple different birthdays, vacation,\u00a0Winterfest<\/a>… there was a lot to celebrate this month! Also, National Bubble Bath Day, National Cheese Lovers Day<\/a>– so fun!<\/p>\n

Mani of the Month:<\/strong> Just for fun- my favorite mani was the white + gold sparkles I had for New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9415<\/a><\/p>\n

Smiles:<\/strong> So many smiles this month! Basically everything I’ve mentioned thus far + the thoughtful gifts and cards I’ve received for my birthday + the surprise Starbucks coffee & flower from my husband + a master bathroom makeover from my auntie + much much more. I’ve been smiling all month!! I adore this birthday present from Marty…<\/p>\n

\nHeard:<\/strong> I basically love everything by For King And Country, especially “Shoulders” and “Long Live.” After watching Michael Jackson ONE in Vegas, I’ve been relistening (is that a word?) to “Man in the Mirror” – such a good song!<\/p>\n

Watched:<\/strong> This month I watched New Year’s Eve and I finished Lord of the Rings. I had never seen them before so my husband forced me to<\/del> had me watch them. They were good! I’m making him watch the Harry Potter movies now…<\/p>\n

Alright January- you were pretty awesome. Until next year!<\/p>\n
