failure to post

So sorry blog, its been a long time.

I always have great intentions of writing and then life happens or Jared is using the computer to watch TV(which happens quite often).

So whats new now that it's March?
*well today is Jared's birthday:-) He's getting old and turned 25 today.
*I had a birthday in January and turned 27! And I may or not have freaked out a little bit! whoa! How did that happen so fast?
*we went on a cruise in January, which was really fun and we did get stranded on the ship! How terrible would that have been? Our cruise was quite enjoyable and we had super great weather and I got a tan in January(said tan has currently disappeared tho). We even went swimming with stingrays which I just LOVED!!!!! I will definitely do that again! Maybe not a cruise again, because I like solid ground and like staying in one place. I would also choose a different cruise line, Royal Caribbean would be preferable.
*we got a new dog January 1st! His name is Dieter and we just LOVE him. I still really my sweet Edo boy:( But Dieter has fit right in and he and Zeena really LOVE each other, its nice that they now have each other to play with.
*I finally took care of all my Christmas stuff.
*youth group has been really great lately! We have a great youth pastor who just loves the kids and it helps that he and his wife are becoming fast friends with Jared and I! Yay!!
*recently I got to have a girls weekend with my mom and twins, as Jared and my stepdad were both gone at the same time! It was so much fun!! Lots of ice cream was consumed and my mom and I watched lots of Vampire Diaries!
*In less than a month, it will be our 1 year anniversary! Seriously? Time flies! :-)
*we have been studying the book of James at church and it has been awesome!
*I've been doing my best to eat gluten free for the past few weeks and have since had way less headaches!! I love that!!
*On April 1st(my moms birthday) we are going to start P90X again! Yikes, it is gonna suck but all the pain will be worth it! And we have already decided that once we are done we are at least going to work  out 4 times a week, no taking a break and not doing it for 2 years! I've become a bit of a fatty!
*I only have a few more mission trip payments for Peru! I'm very excited to go! God really changed my heart and I just know its going to be an amazing trip for everyone going!
*I am still trying to read through Harry Potter. I am currently reading book 5 "the order of the phoenix". I just need to get through it!
*Mariah won a short story contest that one of friends from high school was doing. Here is the link if you would like to read her story :-) Its quite good. www.mariahhammond.wordpress.com
*I got a pair of prescription sunglasses and think they are pretty great! Its so nice to be able to see and not have squint all the time since I have them! And I got new glasses too, they are pretty fun as well and are orange. Pretty appropriate since orange is my favorite color!

Well currently I am going to try to upload some cruise pictures to Facebook. But I'm gonna do my best to write more often especially since I can update from my phone!
