[.never postpone a prompting.]

I've been meaning to post for a while now, but times just seems to be flying right on by!  So, I figured, what better to do on a Friday night while hubby is working?  YouTube and blog!  Poor Rudy!  Probably wishing he could go for a run, but it is ICE outside and that just ain't happening!
 
Here was my 34 week pic-a-ture! I can't believe this little girl will be here so quickly!  Sooner than we realize, I am sure!
 
 
We almost have her room completely finished!
We still need to hang some rods for her "closet".
The joys of living in a rental ;)
We now have her stroller and car seat!
Thanks Mom!
I am SUPER excited about our videographer!
I could easily eat a box of cereal in one sitting.
I always resort to yoga pants and hoodies.
Lance and I like to try and guess which of her body parts is protruding out of my stomach.
I get the comment on almost a daily basis of how "tiny" I am, when in reality I feel like I am the size of a house.
*dang cereal*
But in all honesty I am very glad I have not got any rude comments that people tell you about.
I guess I'll count my blessings.
 
On to my other child, my fur-baby.  He really is loving the snow!  When I know I'm not going to fall on my face, I take him up behind our house and let him roam around like crazy as he starts running psycho laps through the snow.
 

 
Yes I will be more obsessed about taking pictures of miss k than I am about my puppylove.  Either get used to it, or get over it :)
 
 
As long as I have lived in Utah, I have never experienced "freezing rain".
Well, yesterday, I did.
And this is the result.
I can't help but hear the words of Rainman in my mind when I look at this.
"I'm an excellent driver."
*don't click if you don't like language*
 
 
After about 5 minutes (which seems like an eternity) to get up the hill to our place, I made it to the top and then failed miserably as I tried to pull into the driveway.  The second I hit the ice I slid down into the snow bank.  Why Mr. snowplow/salt blower can you not throw your cool sand/salt mixture into our driveways?
It would have saved my husband a couple hours of his day.
 
I must say, I am entirely grateful for Lance that he is willing to chizzle away at the second layer of ice so I could actually get into the driveway the second time around.
 
 
And now I'm pretty sure I'll end my night in the love sac, snuggling my puppylove, snacking on some TUMS and watching The Vampire Diaries.

Helping my clients reach their goals.
One of the best feelings in the world. Although I cannot force my clients to do anything it makes me feel successful when I see my clients succeed.

What was the best thing you bought this year?
Our trailer :)
A dyson vacuum, rims for the truck and a crib!

Where did most of your money go?
Who knows!? ;)
We try and distribute our money pretty evenly. For the last 5 months we have been using the envelope system that I used in high school and it helps us a lot when budgeting.

What did you get really excited about this year?
Dressing miss K in adorable clothes!
What songs will remind you of 2012?

Compared to last year, are you: much happier, much nicer, or richer?

Happier and hopefully nicer, I'm hoping one day to be richer but I'm happy for now.

Pretty Little Liars!
Once Upon a Time!
Parenthood!
I watched random seasons of Greys Anatomny when Lance would watch too.
Eek, am I embarrassing myself enough yet?
I'm not so sure I want to start Modern Family??

What did you want and get this year?
A trailer :)

What was the best movie you saw this year?
Loved! The Lucky One

What did you do for your birthday and how old did you turn?

Turned 24, spent time with family. Maybe this year I will do something crazy for 25?!

What would have made your year more satisfying?
To work harder on marketing myself as a Personal Trainer and Photographer.


How would you describe your personal fashion statement this year?
Ha, yoga pants and workout jackets. Boo yah!

What kept you sane this year?
My puppylove, far-fa-ga-noo-gan, Rudy! Sounds crazy but anytime my emotions get the best of me he always makes me happy! I told Lance that when we are in an argument sometimes all I have to do is look at Rudy and I'm instantly in a better mood.
Lance can hold grudes but Rudy has no idea ;)
What celebrity did you fancy most in 2012?
Sean Lowe!! Wowza!
Oh, and Adam Levine!

Still missed Jake.
It's good to have him back, I swear that kid can always make a situation better.

Who were the best new people you met this year?
Cortnie brought my nephew Paxton into the world in March. He is adorable.
My other sister Mandy also brought Londyn into the world in September, she is beautiful.
I am excited for these new babes to be in my life and be friends to little miss k.

What is a valuable lesson you learned this year?
the mind is very powerful.
the way i think affects everything i do.
just because you made a mistake doesn't mean that the next moment can't be even better.
