I am the worst

On December 18th of 2013 (almost a year ago exactly) I posted about how I am the worst blogger. Well..it still rings true; I am the worst blogger. I think it's been about 10 months since I have written anything. How do I even start? I can't even get into the big things because it's just too much to catch up on. BUT I can certainly summarize a thing or two:

1. Saw Tom Petty for the 5th time (but it was Matt's first!)
2. Saw the Counting Crows (something I have wanted to do since I was 14)
3. Saw Jerry Seinfeld stand-up- this is huge. I can't even talk about it because I get too emotional on       how happy it made me.
4. I got married to the love of my life.
5. We went to New Zealand and Australia for 3 1/2 weeks and just got back!

Of course there are plenty of other amazing things that happened along the way but those are the major points for me :)

Now that the year is yet again coming to an end it's a time to reflect back but also plan ahead. I am huge on making plans and writing lists and having everything all figured out. Matt and I have decided to make 2015 the year of traveling. We want to go to as many places as we can (taking into consideration vacation time, argh) in the next year! So far on the list we have Texas, Costa Rica, Arizona, Michigan, Rome, New Mexico, and Guatemala. Yes we may be dreaming but who cares, I love it! We also want to open our own movie theater, own a pet lamb, and run a fishing lodge. We have a big list of dreams some that may never happen but it's still exciting just the same.

I am looking forward to the new year and even though it's really just another day on January 1st there is still something exciting about the calendar turning over. It can be fresh starts, new beginnings, more adventures- anything you want it to be.

I am hoping something blog worthy will happen to me in the next month or so. It's hard for me to blog if I don't have a funny story. My recipes are all pretty much the same- I recycle the same 5 things over and over and over again so I can't really blog about that. I am childless and I don't have enough money to shop and be fashionable because I spend it all on coffee, food, dog treats, and traveling. So in that respect I am totally blog unworthy.

Oh! For the past 6 months or so I have tried thinking of sayings other than "I died" or "I die" or "I can't". They're too played out in my opinion. I tried a new on on Amira which was- "'I'm limp". She seriously hated it. I tried it a few times through text and she didn't seem to catch on so I let it go for a bit...I texted her with it a few months later and she said, "Please don't try to bring that back".

Anyways, I'm on to something new and it's "call NASA". Here is the context:

Amira: Avery just used the bathroom for the first time!!
Kandi: I don't believe it!! Call NASA.
(because I am so mind blown that I need to fly to the moon)

Anyways, I'm going to try it on her this weekend and we will see how it all pans out.
