Resolutions

It's been almost six months since New Year's and have I accomplished anything??


- Be a more positive person ----- I am trying... I hope it's working! Fingers crossed!

- Lessen my debt ----- I've been paying as much as I can, but I'm still in the hole!

- Give up at least 3 credit cards ----- So far one is completely paid off!

- Lose at least 15 pounds ----- I lost 5ish. Better than nothing

- Eat healthier ----- I try, but that doesn't always work out. 

- Get my car fixed!!! ----- I did this one!!!

- Pursue a different career ----- The more I think about it, the more I think I should pursue more into the career I'm already in.

- Read more ----- I have been!! I forgot how much I love to read.

- Sleep more regularly ----- Hmm... I slept about 3 hours last night, what do you think??

- Swear less ----- I have been better with this as well.

- Travel somewhere new ----- Ben and I are planning something, I'm not sure what yet! We'll have to make it somewhere new! Actually, we went to Sandy Hook, New Jersey at the beginning of May. That counts right?? I had never been there!


Overall, I have been making progress on my New Year's Resolutions! Five out of eleven is not bad considering most people forget their resolutions by January 3rd. Now lets hope for no rain this weekend so we can have a nice trip into the city! :)

Calla Lilies

Last weekend the family and I ran some errands and ended up looking at flowers and plants and such. We found the most beautiful calla lilies. When I get married I'd like to have orange calla lilies :)

I like the style of this one as well as the color

I like the simplicity of this one most. Just calla lilies and some greenery

I love pink and yellow :)

These are very pretty, but a little too sinister for a wedding

These are a few I took over the weekend

Next weekend we're all planning to go to New York City for the day. I really hope Ben can come. He's not sure if he has that day off or not. I'm also hoping that it doesn't rain! It's been raining everyday for what seems like a month. I want the sunshine back!

First beach day of the season!!

On May 1st Ben and I decided to go to the beach for the day. We went to Sandy Hook, NJ. I had actually never been to that beach, but we figured it was closer than Point Pleasant or Seaside Heights. It's difficult to go far with the gas prices getting so high. I filled my gas tank two days ago and spent $48. Yeah, it was close to empty, but it still shouldn't be that damn high! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked lol!

We got there around 1 pm because we were slow moving. We did get our first sniff of the salty sea air of the season though! I love spending the day away with Ben. It's so nice to go to new places and do different things.

There it is...

You can see the NYC skyline in the background

hmm...

I like this one. I dunno why.

The pictures of us together didn't come out that great, but this was was alright

Kites!

Someone is watching you...

Look at that face :)

Weirdo.

There's my handsome guy!

This bug had a white heart on its back

Prickly Pear Cactus!

Info Center

Sand dunes

I like these two pictures of me (for a change)

Mortar Battery

I'm looking into the dark locked up room...

...and that's what's inside!

This lighthouse was nice, but it needs a new coat of paint

More abandon military stuff

Inside the Battery Potter

This place really skeeved Ben and I out. It was very dark and had a very... murder house kinda feel to it.

Do you hear what I hear?

Hey, it's the coast guard!

Abandon military houses

We had such a nice time together! It was pretty neat seeing all the abandon military stuff there. Even though, inside that Battery potter was really, really creepy. I was beginning to feel like we were in a horror flick lol! Couples are usually the first to go... so we wouldn't make it long if it was.
