Happy New Year

Well I know that its been a while since I last blogged, I just haven't had anything worth talking about. I work all the time, so my dreams haven't even been as strange. But its a new year, and with that, comes the new years resolutions..... The only issue is that I can't really think of an interesting one, there are just a bunch of things that i would like to do before 2013.
Of course, I am going to start my diet again, and stick to it. Its always hard work, but it needs to be put back on track. Another thing that I need to stick to is taking more pictures this year. I started an app on my phone called "Project 365" where I take one picture a day for the whole year in order to create my year in photos. So far, theres nothing worth writing home about, but Its only January 2nd. I am really excited to be doing this, and I think it will make a great memory.

Here is a list of all the things that i want to do this year, and goals that i want to achieve:

-I want to lose at least 50 lbs this year
-I want to get my Lia Sophia business up and running so i can cut back on my shitty job, and make more money
-Going back to Uganda is actually the thing that I would like to do the most. There is a series of trips this summer, but Im not sure I'll be able to raise all the money I need to get there. Saving the money is a lot harder than i thought it would be. If you're familiar with my first entries, you'll know how important that trip is to me. It changed my life in so many ways, and I need to keep my promise to the friends I made there...... I promised that I would go back, and theres no way that i can let them down.
-I would REALLY like to be able to move out my parents house this year. Starting the Lia Sophia business is so much more important, because it would be a much better source of income.
- I am supposed to be going on a trip with Brenna this year to Europe, and although that would be so incredible, Im not sure i can afford it. Hopefully i can pull it off
- As I said earlier, I would like to take more pictures this year. Its something I absolutely love doing, and "project 365" will push me to get great pictures in order to document my year.
-There are a small series of mini vacations that I want to take this year (Can you tell I love to travel??) Theres a tattoo/horror convention that i would love to attend in Nashville this April, and of course theres ComicCon here in Chicago which is in August i think <---- yes i know, I'm a giant nerd...... And last year Randi and I went to Washington DC for 9 days in april/May, so this year we are thinking of going to Florida sometime in October. Brenna and I went camping back in August and it was a great 3 day trip that barely cost us anything. We went hiking, and cooked over a campfire. It was so much fun and it was super relaxing. Oh, and I want to go to Georgia sometime this summer as well. I think I need to win the lottery in order to be able to afford all of this lol
-I haven't read any books in a while, so I'm making an effort to read at least one book a month. I can do it, besides, I have so many books here at the house that I haven't read yet. I think I am going to start with "The Hunger Games" series of 3 books. I am confident that I can read all 3 of them before February!!
-I would like to go skydiving. Ive always wanted to, and this is the year, i can feel it!
-Since I love hiking so much, I am going to make an effort to go as often as i can once it gets a little warmer out.
-I would like to maybe even find a guy that I can have a healthy relationship with. Im not saying that I need one, but it would be nice haha

Well there you have it. My list of goals and things to do for 2012. Thanks for reading as I rambled on and on about things that I want.

Have a good day!

R.I.P. Dirty Little Garden Lobster.....

Here's a fun story for you. Randi and I were playing Wii bowling in the basement, and my parents came home from dinner with some work people. We go upstairs to say hi and my mom turns to me and asks "Do you know why there is a lobster in our garden?" My first thought was that a neighbor put a ceramic lobster in the dirt as some sort of weird joke... you know, to see how long it took us to notice it or something..... but no. Apparantly there is some sort of REAL (but dead) crustacean on the side of the garage. So naturally, we have to grab the flashlight out of the closet and go investigate. Are they really being serious? Or is this some sort trap that we are going into so they can sneak up on us and scare the crap out of us? No..... sure enough, right by the gate, there is a little 4 inch lobster that is dead on its back. Its covered in dirt..... and a few ants, but its real. I find this kinda funny, because my question is "where the hell did it come from?" I kn...

Safe Travels....

I wonder if anyone even still reads this or not. Oh well. For those of you who dont know, I was not able to go back to Uganda this summer. (Its really sad and im really upset about it) However, most of the team was able to! Andy, Kevin and Glenna went out there about a week ago and the rest of the team is leaving tonight around 9:30pm. I wish you all safe travels, and most of all, have fun! I want all of you to know that I am already saving for next years trip! I already have about $100! I know, I know, its nowhere near enough, but thats why im starting now. Not being able to go this summer made me realize how much I love it there, and I guess you can say that lit a fire under my ass to get moving! Again, to my friends leaving today, and to my friends who are already there..... I hope you have a great trip. Be safe (Drew, try not to cut your own sugar cane if you can help it, and Jaki, watch your leg on the Bodas!), enjoy the smiles, and most of all, have fun while helping people! Im p...
