2013

I have high hopes for this year.

We're exactly 1 week into this year and I couldn't ask for it to be better.

We rang in the new year as Chola's celebrating Tommie's birthday.

Ryan & Jeremy as Cholo's.
I contemplated not displaying this on the web
but oh, what the hell.
Sorry if you're offended. :)

Max's first birthday party was on Saturday.

I can't believe he's already a year. That time has flown by.

I can't even comprehend how his parents must feel.

On a side note, I don't look forward to having to plan birthday parties.

I got to spend the rest of my Saturday with my dear friend Natalie.

It had been a long time since we'd been able to spend some one-on-one time like that

& I cherished every second of it.

I can't begin to describe how much it meant to me to just sit

& talk with her for hours. About everything.

It was the most refreshing conversation I've had in a long time.

We decided to make a spur of the moment mini road trip

& drive out to Eischen's in Okarche

(which is not as far as I thought it was, by the way).

By the time we made it there and walked inside,

we realized neither one of us really like fried chicken enough

to wait in the unbelievable long line inside.

I will say that it smelled like heaven in there though.

We wound up at Sid's Diner in El Reno

& it felt like we were in another world.

No clue why but I felt like an alien in that tiny little shack.

So 2013, please be good to me.

Let me continue to feel the love I feel right now all year long.

This is the year I partly quit smoking 

[ E-Cigarette's count as halfway quitting right? :) ]

This is the year we become debt free.

[ Just 6 more months to go!! ]

Those are my only two statements for this year.

They're the only 2 things I know for certain

& I don't believe in new year resolutions.

These 2 things are enough for me though.

I can't wait.
