hawaii and other stuff...

ok so i suck at this whole blogging thing! please don't hate (not like anyone really reads this haha) anyways its a new year and im a new me! austin and i haven't been up to much. austin is back in school and im still working. if things go as planned we will be done in rexburg in july! YAY :) not like we are going far... as of right now we will be moving down to idaho falls. :) im pretty excited about it! (i know that its probably pathetic) anyways nothing much is new other than im just working on my new years resolutions. the list has gotten quite long but the top two are 1. to read the book of mormon from beginning to end. im sad to say that my testimony is lacking a little and i feel like a horrible person anymore. i have a lot to improve on and i feel like reading the book of mormon is one of the best places to start. i want to be a more positive person and more enjoyable to be around. i want to be happy and not let anything bother me. new years resolution number 2. i want to lose weight! (so original i know ha) i have become such a fat cow since austin and i got married. there are no excuses i just have horrible eating habits. i have started the p90x videos and the totally kick my butt! i still have a hard time giving up my carbs but its a work in progress right? i definately am doing way better than any of the other time i have tried this.

austin and i did go to hawaii in october and it was so nice to get away for a week. it was a very much needed vacation and we both came back with brand new attitudes! the went to the island of maui which is completely beautiful. we stayed in a hotel that was right on the beach and we also had a pool about 10 feet from our room. one of our favorite things was to go walking on the beach and laying in the hammocks when it got dark. we also loved the pina coladas!! so here are a few pictures :) aloha til next time!
