Happy New Year!

Let me begin with, Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to see what 2015 has in store for me and my husband. Because, let's face it, 2014 wasn't too nice.

Speaking of...now that I was finally dating everything correctly, it might take me almost a full year to remember to write the date '15 and not '14. Come on, brain!

Normally for New Years, I don't make any resolutions. Why? Because I usually make them about being eating healthy and exercising. And within a week, I've managed to break all of them. So, this year, I'm going to set goals. I feel that Goals would be easier to attain, and wouldn't feel like I've let myself down when I don't reach them.

So, my 2015 Goals are:
1. Continue on the path of healthy-ness. I've already made the first step to going back to the gym and working out. (Another reason for goals is because I started a little early. Makes motivating myself a little easier when I've already made the first step.)

2. For my family, and my husband- Continue the journey to becoming myself again. Some days are still rough, and I know that it will always be that way. But, I can't let my loss take control like it did again. It's not just a, once I sink in the whole, that's it. Grief is a black hole and sucks not only you, but everyone else around you in. And...if I want to be able to try again successfully, I need to not worry about it all.

3. This last one has a bit of a back story. I've been begging my husband, for several years now, about getting my own laptop. He never really took my seriously until I started doing stuff for my YouTube Channel. Then it was more of a price thing. We wanted to be able to find a good laptop without paying a million dollars for it. 

For Christmas this year, my in-laws gave my husband and I some money. Which is always lovely when you know you have things that you would like to spend on and they have no idea where to start. Example: My husband wants to start getting his own tools for work, and they aren't cheap. We both know what he needs, because we work with these types every day, and my in-laws have no idea where to start. Anyways...after talking everything over, we were going to go with a refurbished laptop. Something relatively knew, and more in our budget.

Keep in mind, that with the newer tech stuff, that we have no idea really what specs we would need. My husband and I made plans to go out and ask questions before we started a real search. Not to mention we needed to take back a pair of shoes for him that he got for Christmas. (That's another story in itself.) We had decided that we would stop by Best Buy and talk to a couple guys and see what they had to say.

After looking around for almost 20 minutes and having no one come up and talk to us, (I understand that it was the weekend after Christmas and super busy, but no one said they'd come help us in a minute or anything. They mainly avoided eye contact with me...Come on!) my husband pulled out his phone and was Googling which processor ran better between two different ones. He then picks one up and starts to head to the check out (only stopping to pick up a copy of Guardians of the Galaxy). Once we were in line, he makes mention that this is my Christmas present, and that I'm to not ask for anything for a while.

Yay! There's the back story for the next goal. For real #3. To upload more videos! I'm not going to push myself into saying how many a week/month or whatever....because that never seems to actually happen. I never truly notice how crazy busy I am, until I try to do too much. I want to try to aim for one a week and then work my way up.

But first-I need editing software. I think the kind I had for the main PC of the house is lost. I have NO idea where it might be.  That does seem to be a problem. More than you might think....because I was wanting to try to get a video up and done for New Years, to continue...my Goals....of continuing things...   :)

Anyways, now that I've listed and typed way more than I thought...it doesn't help when you're a wordy person with a slight touch of A.D.D.  ...you tend to ramble.

In the end, I hope you all have a safe and happy New Years! I hope to see you all soon!
