What I learned in 2013

I really need some inspiration for a post.. everything here has been pretty busy.. planning a wedding, Christmas, looking for jobs, just life.. So I was going through the blogs I read and I saw an idea  that I really love.. it was from Mamalaughlin's blog.

2013 was an interesting year for me, I actually started planning a wedding ( yikes)

I learned that eating healthy does make you feel happier.
I learned that Its not worth it to worry.
I learned that things will be okay, and If they aren't okay, you will figure a way to get through them.
I learned that getting your butt kicked by T25 is a good thing.
I learned that waking up early and working out isn't a terrible thing.
I learned that there's nothing better than smiling even if you don't feel like smiling.
I learned that wedding stuff is expensive and planning a wedding is a headache and way too much drama.. but at the same time its fun.
I learned that if you are really stressed out from your job...Quit. you will always find a different one.
I learned to really live in the moment.
I learned to try and forget the past. Its in the past for a reason.
I learned stressing too much is a bad thing.
I learned its really okay to be as nerdy as you want.
I learned its hard to be away from family.
I learned there is nothing better than a bubble bath when you are stressed out.
I learned that there's no point in being shy anymore.
I learned that I need to just let things go sometimes.
I learned that I really need to get on top of this blog thing.


Being 25 I know I haven't figured out everything in my life.. I still have things I'm not exactly happy with, but slowly I will start to love myself more.As I get older things will come together and hopefully I will figure out what I want to achieve with my life.  What I need now is to immerse myself in new things and find out what I like and what I don't like. I need new hobbies





So Its New years eve soon tomorrow and I wasnt feeling all that great this morning.. headache and stuff.. so I decided to bake cookies.. wooo hoo

Heres the dough

New years cookies and Yoda cookies !!

Also on December 23rd my mom has been recognized for all the work she has done for the City of Schenectady. She has been on the city council and her term just ended. As I have talked about before, she had a stroke last year.  On the last City council meeting of her term, she was present. She sat at her seat and said here when they took roll. It was a huge moment. The Mayor gave a speech and presented her with a patroon of Schenectady award, and a resolution in her honor.. The past two years have been hard, but watching her with a big smile on her face made my day. Heck.. made my year. I am so proud of her.
