A New Year's Resolution

Here is my list of resolutions for 2012:

1. Be happy every day (because why not? life is good)

2. Read at least one new book a month (fiction, faith, autobiographies, the lot of em!)

3. Run my first half marathon (help me Ronda!-and subsequently be in my best shape)

4. Wear more fur (Don't be casual everyday just because I can)

5. Paint my nails every week (because I'm 25 & nail biting is for babies)

6. Be kind to everyone I meet (Learn my Baristas' names)

7. Plan more adventures with Mr. King (Surprise trips, dates and being more thoughtful during the work week)

8. Be a really good friend (and make new ones too)

9. Laugh a lot (over any and everything, especially the silly and the stressful)

10. Try new things (recipes, hobbies, vacay spots, music genres, etc!)

11. Trust God (with the in's and out's of our life, not to mention dreams and hopes)

12. Go out on a few limbs (for people and opportunities)

The older people get, usually the more rigid they become.
That's why I have decided this year, the year of 2012, I am going to get younger and more flexible!
Laugh more, forgive more, venture out more, and
worry less.

Cheers, 2012!

A merry little Christmas

Miraculously, Mr. King & I both made it on the NICE list this year!

We got amazing gifts from our family and friends, and from each other.
Here are some of the wonders we received.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
to all the dears who know just how to make a girl (and guy) feel special.

his loot:
(Not Pictured, new Swiss Gear Luggage set & all the items he scored on our weekend getaway in Dallas. To put it lightly, the boy did good)

My loot:
(Not Pictured: cash$$, jeans & a partridge in a pear tree).

An impromptu photo shoot with the Mister

We were asked to shoot a video for a girl's school project. In return, she gave us a couple still shots from the shoot. It was also the day we celebrated our 2nd Anniversary, so naturally we were feeling awfully lovey dovey.
