Resolve: 2013


I'm not leaving next year up to chance or making "goals".
Goals are for sissys
Kristine and I aren't sissys, so we have teamed up to bring you Resolve: 2013!

Perception Is Everything

In 2013, I will...

+Be getting a new tattoo.

Photobucket

+Explore the West while we are still stationed here.
+Learn to moonshine with the hubby. {It's legal, we checked}
+Enjoy having my soldier back.

Photobucket

In 2013, I will not...

+Get mad at the pile of clothes that Will leaves in the corner.
+Stress about money.
+Overbuy groceries.
+Take our love for granted. (That's a given)
+Get pregnant. (will NOT)

In 2013, I hope...

+To celebrate my Anniversary with Will.
+To spend my Birthday with Will.
+To celebrate the holidays with Will.
+That the Army doesn't decide to get in the way of these things with will.

We had an amazing Date Day

In case you didn't realize, my main focus of 2013 is that studmuffin up there.
It's not my fault that a) he's so darn cute and b) I missed him for nine months this year. We are making up for lost time and I wouldn't have it any other way!

I also can't forget to mention that I plan to grow and learn more in blogging in 2013, and I hope to build even more/stronger relationships with all of you. YOU guys are what got me through the deployment, so I hope that I can be there for all of you this year. You need me? You got me :)

Perception Is Everything

We would love for you all to participate, so please show your hostesses some love by following us, link up, and grab a button! Let's get 2013 started off right.









Thanks for partnering with me, Kristine. Love ya!

  1. Well goodness I feel like I should add mine onto this linkup too! There are too many places to link up for these things ahh.

    But I'm loving yours as well. But how does one ever "overbuy" groceries. You can never have enough, that's my motto.

  8. I am a huge fan of lists, but don't really dig the whole 1 resolution for a year thing. You list is awesome! This year I definitely plan to get 2 tattoos (Aiden and Baby's names) and definitely want to make my marriage even better than it already is. I see so many couples with families loose what they they started out with and there is no way I will let the fire burn out in my marriage. Those are my biggest goals, as well as to finish up school!

  9. Wishing you health and happiness in 2013. I'm so glad he's home. <3

  10. You know, I was so, so considering putting "Not having a baby" on my list of what I'm doing this year...but then I just thought it was too risky. I almost felt like if I wrote it, then I would be proved wrong. But that's just because I don't 100% believe that all the strategies of not getting pregnant work. :P
    And I love your goal of not getting mad about Will's clothes--it's really choice, sometimes I just have to stop myself and choose not to be annoyed over habits of Angel's, too!

  11. WOOHOO! what a great idea miss thang! I LOVE owning 2013, I got this!

    Your expectations are perfect. I would have the same goals if I were in your shoes. Your studmuffin is so perfect for you and I'm so glad yall are so happy!

    HAPPY 2013 sweet girl! xoxo

  12. Hey Jana!
    I love this post.
    Your goals are perfect... exactly what I'd be planning for myself if my hub had just come home from deployment.

    I soooo feel you there, as I'm also a military spouse and my honey has done two of those long 9 monthers in the desert.

    I hope you both have a wonderful year!! Tell your man I say thank so much for his service!

    Xxo

  16. separations sucks but absence really does make the heart grow fonder! It gives you so much perspective and appreciation for your partner. Enjoy making up all that lost time with Will. Can't wait to see your new tat! I'm too chicken to get even one!

  24. I'm baaaaaaccckkkk!!!!! For good too. You will be getting sick of me I swear. And moonshine with the husband? WHAT is that??

    and Janna I am the WORST at overbuying groceries! I go in with a few things I need and an overflowing cart and $200 bucks later I walk about pissed. So me too.

    and why no baby in 2013????????????????
