RESOLUTIONS

It’s the time of year that we all use to reflect; I am posting this a little earlier than usual, but as the year comes to an end I can’t help but smile and be a little sad that this year is over. It was such an amazing year, good and bad. I spent a lot of the year preparing for my wedding, had my gallbladder removed, continued to be a full time student, got married, and had our first Christmas as a married couple. I decided to share some of my resolutions for this year:

01. Graduate with honours: this is important to me, I have worked hard to be on the Dean’s list, and I hope to be able to graduate in April with honours which means I will have to be on the Dean’s list every semester. I love my program, and I can’t wait to finish in April!

02. Find a job: Whether it is volunteering or starting a career, I really hope to find something that I truly love doing once I’m done school. I have worked so hard to get to this point in my life, and can’t wait to start a new chapter hopefully by the spring.

03. Start a family: I would love to start a family near the end of the year, not many people know this, but on November 2 Kyle and I found out we were pregnant. We were so happy, a little overwhelmed, and surprised it happened so fast, we were 4 weeks pregnant when we found out. About three weeks after, I started having complications and when we went for our first ultrasound at 8 weeks we found out that we lost the baby. It was really hard and something that took a long time to accept. Not knowing why we lost it and why it was taken away from us so soon was something that was really hard. It is still hard; there are good days and bad days. It is something Kyle and I are still working through as a couple, and I can't stress enough how thankful we both are to have the supportive people who have been there to help with our grief. With that being said, I hope that near the end of the year we are ready to try again.

04. Be more organized: I like to think I am a pretty organized person to begin with, but being more organized never hurt anyone. I want to continue using an agenda even after I am done school. I feel so much better seeing my week laid out in front of me.

05. Health, Health, Health: This is something that is a pretty cliché resolution, but it is so important for myself having PCOS to make sure my health is the best it can be. So I want to get back to a protein based diet, and cut out all those bad snacking tendencies!

06. Make time: I get SO caught up with my busy schedule that I forget about my friends and family. I want to make sure that I take the time to see my family and my friends and not have such long gaps in between.

07. Do more photography: We have our photography business that gets so much love and we are so grateful for that. I want to do more for fun, and really perfect my skill and get better at ISO and all those settings.  

For right now, I think that’s all! I try and keep it manageable so it doesn’t get out of control. The end of this year has not been the best, but I am hopeful for 2015! May you all have a safe and happy new year!
