New Years Resolutions!

So here it is, 4 months into the year!
Who lived up to their new years resolutions?
Here in the Williams house, our new years resolution was to "do better with money" and to loose weight!.

I am doing good with one of the two, and I HATE to say this..BUT.. I would rather them be switched around.. I am loosing the weight I wanted to!. but the money thing isn't where I want it to be!.
We have this problem with "impulse"buying. The type of buying where "I WANT THAT" seems more like " I NEED THAT".... and feeling guilty about "having that" after we "get it"..
Make sense?

Now that we are home owners I think its time to get serious about saving money!!.
Not only for our house, but for our family.
Life is full of "what ifs" and most of the "what ifs" cost A LOT of money!.
I have set my goal!. and now its time to live up to it!! NO more just buying because I want it, I think its time to weigh out the wants and the needs. and even find ways around our needs to save some money!!(coupons, sale items, bulk)
now lets see if I can get my husband to think like this!!
I just hate being the one to tell him NO. I wish I could give him everything he wants.. (which is a lot) but we just don't have the money for that.. (or garage space)
SO wish us luck on our journey of "saving money"& the completion of our weight loss.. I have 8lbs to go!(but still need to tone up ) and seem to be doing great!. I would love to get a gym membership and start going everyday!. but for now I will stick to my work out DVDs, and my stairs!.

The Little Things In Life!

Yesterday while cleaning my living room floor...My husband walks in the door with Flowers!!.

It doesn't really seem like a big deal to most people..

This is something MY husband just doesn't do... and I really didn't know what to do, or think, or even say.. I couldn't even take them from him..(not to mention i had cleaner all over my hands)
I really didn't show him HOW grateful i was..as i stood their in total shock!. Hali was just as excited!!. She kept running around saying "mommy daddy got you flowers, that's so nice!!"

Zachry and I have been together for over 5 years now, during the first year (dating) we had our ups and downs, But zach would do sweet things like this all the time.. he would "try" and the flowers brought back all those memories of things he would do for me. I guess little things in life bring back great memories!

I am pretty lucky to have such an amazing guy in my life, and I sometimes take him for granted.

He is an amazing father to my children, and provides me with a wonderful life!.

I fell in love with a boy back in high school, that became a man I could of never dreamed of! =)
