New Year, New Me

Ok, so we're like 16 days into the New Year and I have yet to start my blog. Ugh, another epic fail.


But in all fairness I have been busy.


I started 2012 off by heading up to the New Jersey area for a week for work. Due to the fact I had not been to Jersey in ten years it was very interesting, and involved a lot of sightseeing.

                                                              My Hotel in Ashbury Park, NJ

After returning to Virginia I began planning Greg’s 30th birthday.  It involved a lot of preparing and cooking but turned out to be a major success where Greg got to spend his birthday with the people he loves. 
                                                       Greg with his Birthday Cake I made him.
                                                                                  He loves to Garden.

Therefore, it’s been a VERY busy 2 weeks.

But I was determined to start this blog and am determined to follow it through. 

Through this blog I want to share my life where I balance a full time job, a part time job (I like to call it my college loans job), a relationship, family and life as it comes. 

In my blog I plan to share the following:

1.    Recipes -- I love to cook, but for many 20 something’s straight out of college, balancing a busy schedule, trying to eat well and stay within a budget can be complicated.   Being a year graduated from college I hope to share some healthy recipes with y’all that will fit into everyone schedule and budget.



2.    Relationship advice -- As I said, “I’ve kissed A LOT of toads.”  I have met the love of my life and enjoy everything that we share together.  I hope to share some of our adventures with you along with some of our secrets to an equal and fun relationship

3.    Home -- Okay, as every other 20 something out of college that does not have mommy and daddy paying their bills (yup not that lucky), I live in a semi-nice apartment outside of the city.  Lucky for me (and unlucky for Greg) my boyfriend owns a gorgeous townhome out in Centreville.  My goal for this year is to take his bachelor pad and turn it in to a home.  I will share my triumphs -- and fails -- at redecorating a home.


4.    Keeping a schedule- trying to keep work and life balanced is a difficult task for anyone.  I will share with you some of my tricks of the tradce and look forward to receiving your advice on how to stay organized and balance life, a schedule and your finances. 

5.    Adventures -- Between my job and my boyfriend I am always out on an adventure, whether it be exploring D.C. or the local country side, or watching the sun set on the Pacific Ocean, I am always doing something new.  I plan to share the places I go, the things I see, and the places I eat.



6.    Working out -- When moving to D.C. I began to make working out a part of my life.  Now that its starting to get warm again I plan to be better about this and incorporating it in to my daily life.  I will share with you my training, my goals and hopefully help to get more people up and moving.


7.    Life as we know it -- Every day is a new adventure for everyone.  I appreciate you letting me share my adventures with you.  I hope that together we can experience 2012 together.


2012 has already started out busy and I look forward to it being a fun and exciting year that you would be so kind to let me share with you!
