I miss college when my weekend typically would start on Thursday evenings. Three day weekend?! Oh please, I’d love to have that now again. Life is going way too fast!

Weekend recap: my new 50mm camera lens arrived in the mail just in time for the weekend! Tyler he needs to practice with the camera so I can at least be in some of the pictures some day instead of always being behind the camera.

I was supposed to take my sister’s senior pictures over the weekend but one of my dad’s best friends was in town so we postponed it to next weekend. I’m so excited that I practically told her what to wear and made her promise me she’d bring her sparkly gold dress to wear.

My sister repainted her bedroom to 2 shades of light pink. She’s so crazy obsessed with Victoria’s Secret so she wants to make it look like VS. I’ll be helping her save mom & dad money by doing some DIY projects to revamp up her room. I’m thinking of a clothing line with VS bags. I wish we took a before picture of her room but I think it’s good that we didn’t since it was sooo messy!

Now the “not so fun” part of the weekend was yard work. I absolutely hate it. Not even 30 minutes into doing yard work, Tyler pulled a muscle in his back. We were both laughing so hard because we’re obviously yard noobies if he already pulled a muscle in his back! We decided to get rid of some plants that were ugly. Tyler almost took everything out of the yard and I convinced him we didn’t need a bald yard with just rocks. I begged Tyler to let me take a picture of him holding the plant on his head. Doesn’t his new hair extensions look good? See his roots? That’s what my roots look like right now, no joke. I need to get my hair done soon!

Hopefully next month I’ll have a page up on my blog with a tour of our house. Our house is kind of messy now. We plan on doing another round of spring cleaning like we did last year. My in-laws are coming to stay for a few days in mid-April so it’ll be nice to have the house deep cleaned before then.

Here’s a weird conversation that took place at the grocery store tonight:

Me: What do you want to make for dinner tonight?
Tyler: You
Me: My parents already made me 26 years ago. You’re more than welcome to make a mini-me!

Hahaha! And no, we’re not trying to have kids now. :)

I love me some seafood! My mom made salmon for dinner over the weekend. Salmon is good especially to dip in ketchup. Don’t tell me I’m not the only one that does that!

Mama Vik’s Recipe
- Put some lemon juice on the salmon
- Season it with garlic salt and lemon pepper
- Put a few butter pats on top to keep it moist
- Slice some thick onions and put it on top
- Wrap in foil and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or grill it

Anyways, my life has been out of control lately….heck, even our house is out of control! I’m determined to get my life and house back in shape this week or weekend. Who says spring cleaning needs to be done in the spring only?

I have been going to the gym a lot more lately. Last night dad and I were on the treadmill while Tyler went downstairs to play some basketball. There were some guys playing basketball and they asked Tyler to join them. He didn’t really want to play a game since he’s more of a football & baseball guy than a basketball guy. I smiled and quietly laughed when Tyler looked up at me. It was so funny… like we both knew he wasn’t going to make awesome shots and he didn’t. It was fun to watch him play anyways.

I asked him if he got any of their phone numbers and he looked at me like I was stupid. I guess girls only do that.

Lately Tyler has been talking a lot about P90X since he is going to do it. I swear he cracks me up when he explains how he wants to look. Starting with his arms, he will show me how big they’re going to get then show me how his chest is going to be ripped with a beautiful 6-pack and the entire time he’s saying pow-pow-pow for each one of them (in sign language). He says I’ll be drooling over him soon and not Nick Lachey. :)

A friend of ours had eco-party light bulbs in his bathroom.
You can guess what we did in the bathroom…and it’s sad to say we’re all 26 years old.
After all, our parents say we’re still kids.

My smoking hot husband! Blurry equals signing and that happens a lot with deaf people.

At least we had fun!

Perhaps it’s time to share my goals for 2011.

Lose weight. This clearly is a problem for me. I did lose weight after joining a sweat challenge in the area but then it got too expensive so I couldn’t continue and finish the challenge. Let’s just say it was about $250+ a week. Now I’m back on Weight Watchers and making it a routine to go to the gym more often. I’m trying to change my mindset to make sure that a trip to the gym is on top of my daily list. I have also started wearing my BodyMedia armband and I’m excited to actually be aware of how many calories I’m eating and burning. It also calculates how many steps I’m getting in daily & hours of sleep I’m getting. Pretty cool, right?

Debt-Free. Well, not entirely 100% debt-free but at least pay off all of our credit cards. After looking at our budget, we realized we could actually save more money and be able to do things if we didn’t have credit cards to pay off. So we’re anxious to make it happen this year! We have been doing great with earning extra money from Yellow & Savvy Design, rent money from Joe since he’s living with us and things we sell on Craigslist.

Vacation. Tyler and I haven’t gone on our honeymoon yet! We’re so anxious to go on our honeymoon soon. Although it looks like we might not get to go anywhere until later after summer. My co-worker is going on maternity leave in March and then Tyler’s company doesn’t really allow vacation days during the summer. Hopefully we can make it happen! I’d love to go somewhere alone with Tyler and be technology-free which means no phones (and sports)!

Overall my main goal this year is to really take one day at a time and live in the present instead of dwelling on the past and thinking too much about the future. I have a great feeling about 2011 and I’m going to make sure it’s a great year! I also hope you have a great year too!
