Resolution for 2013

Once again, we are entering a new year. I can't believe how much weight I've gained. I have really let myself go. I've got to seriously keep it in gear by focusing on my health. I see so many people around me with health issues and I need to focus and prevent myself from entering into such issues. Especially once I have children, I will only be worse weight wise. 

So with this, I promise myself to eat better. At the moment i am leaning towards a diet of mostly soups. I find they are warm, comforting, filling, and easier to do with my crockpot. 

I guess we will see how that works. Crossing fingers.  

Getaway to the Cascades

Over this past weekend, Jordan and I went with his sister and about 10 of our closest friends to Rosalyn, Washington where we had rented a cabin that sleeps 14 from All Seasons Vacation Rentals (Cascade Mountain Villa - http://www.allseasonsvacationrents.com/Unit/Details/60796). It was a beautiful cabin with gorgeous winter snowflakes, a hot tub, Christmas tree, and game room. Jordan and I got the master bedroom with King bed + heated bathroom floors. 

Overall, we ate lots of soup and got lots of rest. Some of us more than others. :)
