Day 9: Something I did lately that I'm proud of.

Is it sad that I can't really think of anything? Tiny accomplishments and simple things I've done are the only things that are coming to my mind. So here they are:
I'm proud that I've been posting blogs nine days in a row.
I'm proud that I'm getting better at my job (they are making me do accounting and that's not easy if one doesn't have a degree in that area; which I do not) (nor do I have any desire).
I'm proud that I finally am doing something I've only dreamed of, and that's teaching dance. I teach 4 and 5 year olds from my ward. It's been challenging, but fun.
I'm proud that I just ended my triple dose of clomid and I wasn't depressed the entire time. Although, I don't think I can take credit for that one. Still, it's worth mentioning.

There's more but these are the ones I'm most happy about :)

Day 8: Short term goals for this month and why.

Here are my goals, after all a goal not written down is just a dream.

- Exercise everyday, because I never do it and it's showing. No Bueno!!!!!!!

- Get a budget plan in place, because we are Not good with our money. And now is the time
when we should be since we're living mostly on student loans. Yikes!!

- Make Halloween decorations, because I'm being more frugal. And because I've subscribed to Martha Stewart and I'm itching to make all of those awesome decorations.

- Clean out our second bedroom and purge the stuff I never use. Because, you should see that room. It's sad. So very sad.

- Finish reading the Hunger Games series. Because how can I not. It's awesome!

- Take our family pictures. Because I want a new picture of us for the mantel, and I found
THE best place to take them. I'm quite excited about it. I hope it turns out the way I have it
in my head.

- Make a pie, because I've never done that before. And I come from a family of great pie
makers. I've been a great pie eater.

- Learn photoshop. Because that thing is gloriously confusing and I need to figure it out.

- Paint a water color, because my mother has requested it. And you can't say no to your mother

It's going to be a good month. I can feel it.

P.S. Ryan is studying for an oral pathology test and I just glanced over at what he's studying. I'm just going to say that I'm so so so so glad that I had no interest in becoming a dentist. EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Picture of Someone Who Has Had the Biggest Impact on Me.

This is a total given...

This guy, the love of my life, has pushed me (yes, I said pushed. See Day #4) to become better and stronger than I ever thought I could. He lives his life for me and I live my life for him. He makes me so happy. Plus he's really funny. :)

There are so many people that have made impacts on me, but Ryan is Numero Uno!!!!!

Day 6: My Favorite Super Hero...and Why.

I would have to say Wolverine. His power is awesome and just look at those arms! I don't know anything about the comic book Wolverine, just the one from the X-Men movies. And I love him. He doesn't take crap from anyone and he has adamantium covering his entire skeleton. That is super cool (know what's even cooler than that? I spelled adamantium right. I was proud of myself when I googled it to check. Ha!) And he's a nice guy. So, he's my favorite.

A Picture of Somewhere I've been

Almost to the Summit of Mt. Timpanogas, Utah 2006.
One of my favorite places ever.

I was only supposed to post one picture, but I couldn't resist this one also.
Meghan's Bay, St. Thomas (where I picked up my love of snorkeling!).
2007

A Habit I wish I didn't Have

There are so many habits I have that I wish I didn't. But the one that makes me the most irritated is my habit to procrastinate. Yuck!! That word just sounds disdainful. I hate it. I miss out on so much because of this flaw. I could try harder to improve, but guess what? I procrastinate that too! I have the best of intentions to do things and in a timely manner. Let's just say, if the road to hell is paved with good intentions, you know where I'll be... Please come visit sometimes (I'll be the one with Medusa hair).

Day 3: Pictures of my Friends

Kellie, Nathan, Me and Ryan after The Phantom of the Opera, which was awesome by the way!! 2010

Friends I REALLY miss!

Diane and I and Joe in the background.

My Beautiful Sisters. My Best friends!!

And the best of them all...My silly, crazy, sweet, handsome, wonderful husband!!

The Meaning Behind My Blog Name

Hmmm... That is easy.

Our blog name is Ryan and Kristy. Simple, easy to remember. It's not clever, creative or witty. But the meaning is quite clear. This is a blog about our life together and individually. It is a record of our thoughts, the things we do and our challenges in this life. We've been counseled to keep a journal and this, to us, is a form of a journal. There you have it. :)
