Resolving: Nada. I don’t do really do resolutions I like to make small goals for myself year round and really just strive to be happy!

Reading: 5th Wave by Rick Yancey- So far it is great! I love post-apocalyptic time novels and also I am excited to see the movie when it comes out!

Listening to: Lindsey Sterling on my pandora station! She is great for worktime listening.

Smelling: My theraflu tea…so gross but I am dying over here so I need it.

Planning: A weekend trip for a long weekend in February and Spring break in March! The Boyfriend and I will probably do a long weekend in a cabin w/ snowboarding/skiing in Feb and we are thinking of Nashville for Spring Break but I am really dying to go somewhere super warm so maybe wherever I can get a great deal will win.

Needing: this nasty cold to go away…my coworker to stop being such a pain in my ass. I mean really woman…get it together.

Anticipating: Feeling better by Saturday so The Boyfriend and I can go for Ice skating and dinner/drinks with a big group!

Regretting: not wearing more layers on Sunday at the game! Also, not saving some of that Rosca de reyes bread last night!!

Organizing: my calendar, my day, my life?? I need to study, exercise, get ready for classes!! Ahhh so much.

Loving: Life. My family, The Boyfriend. Really I’m just sharing all kinds of love. Another great year passed and I am super excited for 2016!

Craving: Some Pho, I had some on Tuesday and it was sooo good I want more. Need it to feel better right???

Wishing: I had more monies for more trips this year!!!

I need to start coming up with clever names for posts. I think I read somewhere that it will help get more views?? I just don’t have that much creativity in me though.

– So for NYE The Boyfriend and I decided to join his friends for a house party. I was a bit weary because his buddies still drink like they are 21 and in a frat and I can’t hang like that. He ~~lied~~ assured me that it would not be the case and they were going to throw a grown up party. We tried to get some dinner before we went but everywhere we went the wait was too long so we cooked at home and headed to the party. By the time we got there everyone was #whiteboywasted but we still had a great time.

The Chicago countdown which was actually 20 seconds late…luckily no one noticed because they were all too trashed.

He was trying to eat my face…

The next day we hung out with his cousins to watch Iowa get their asses handed to them in a spectacularly sad game.

Way to make New Years Day depressing Iowa…

– Saturday night we had a fun date night at our favorite tapas place Bulerias Tapas Bar before school and work start again and we are back to reality of 16 hour days…

– Sunday was more football. Always more football. We bundled up the best we could and went to the last Bears game of the season. Of course, they lost.
