Hello 2014

Well we're one week into 2014 and I think it's going to work out just fine. I ended 2013 on a high note...or low note depending on your views. 

Jay and I attended a NYE party at caprock winery with a group of friends. It was beautiful!! We rented a party bus for transportation so that everyone could let loose...annnnnnd...we did just that. I may have not eaten all day and may have become incredibly and obnoxiously intoxicated but from what I can remember--I had fun. If this is any indication, my first meal of 2014 was What-a-burger. Can't beat that...or wait...yes you can. Anyways, I may just be trying to make myself feel better but we haven't done anything at all for the past two years so I figure that I just made up for a couple of lost NYEs. Oh and I'm telling myself that everyone was in the same shape I was in (that's not true though). 

Here are a few entertaining snapshots of the debacle. 





Those last two pictures should really explain everything. 

Jay sent these gorgeous flowers to work on the last day of 2013. I love a good 'for no reason at all' surprise. Sweet guy, I think I'll keep him!


We spent most of NY day in bed. We were both hurting pretty bad. Then I gained some strength and made it to Dillard's for their annual NYD sale. It was amazing and I got 4 new dresses and a skirt for a bargain!

This week is the first work week that has actually had 5 full days of work. I know this sounds cray but I'm so tired of these weird days off in the middle of the week due to Christmas and NY falling on Wednesdays. It's felt like Monday or Friday for weeks. Let's get back to work. No really...I'm serious. 

I love myself a good resolution and getting to start fresh. New Year's is like a big Monday for me although I'm trying to stop saying things like "I'll start Monday". Last year I was resolved to lose weight and that went pretty well--to date I've lost 30lbs. Yay me! I only made one real 'resolution' for 2014. I'm resolved to get up and read my "Jesus Calling" devotional every morning. I need to get into God's word and I need an injection every morning. I can tell that the time spent is already making a difference in my awareness of what comes out of my mouth (Life long problem). 

I also need to get myself back on the mean streets for my morning run. I bought these new kicks to entice myself but it's been so frigidly cold in the mornings that I have only braved it once so far. 


All other news is pretty boring around here. Oh except...Jay started a pool company here in Lubbock. Yep, he sure did. Custom Pools of Lubbock.  He's never built a pool but it's looking good because he already has a customer. He's confident that he can make it happen and I am too. I don't tend to say much about him on here or any other public forum but I'll splurge and say that he's genuinely pretty incredible. 

Here's the latest Owen picture and I don't have one of Will but I plan on seeing him this weekend so I'll fix that stat!


Hey adorable boy.

  1. Oh Hill, I wish I would have been able to go to the NYE party! Looks like it was a blast and I might would have been that intoxicated too ;) Instead I was in bed by 9:30 and recovering from the flu...boo. Love your resolution. I myself have been trying to do that too. It makes such a difference in my attitude and how I parent. Love and miss you! And so excited for JAY! I hope 2014 treats y'all well and I get to see you at least once! It's been too long!
