One Year of Love

Today marks the one year anniversary of my marriage! Had I thought ahead, I would have pre-written this post...but I didn't. So, this'll be a short and sweet "Congrats to Us" post, and I'll write a longer one detailing all the fun we had in our first year of married bliss!!!

Our First Married Christmas Card

I think this year is the year for photo cards, and I love it! My parents did one...which I have yet to receive. My sister did one...which I have yet to receive too. But, Mr. GrapeJuice and I did one too! It looks fantastic, if I do say so myself! I can't wait for all our relatives to get one.

Best Thanksgiving EVER

This Thanksgiving was probably the best one ever! I'm sure later in my life I'll declare another Thanksgiving was the best ever, but for now, this one will do! My grandmother, whom I adore above all else and is a wonderful cook, paid me the biggest compliment I have ever received. She told me that the Salted Caramel Apple Pie I made was the best apple pie she's ever had in her life. I about died!! And, now my life is complete.

Christmas Ornament Swap

If you are interested in an ornament swap this holiday season or if you just want to brush off those creative juices and make something, sign up over at Luckiest in Love! Laura has put one together, and I can't wait to participate!

Been Awhile

It's been awhile since I've posted.

Things have been going nonstop. I've been trying to stay more positive, but I just feel like I'm stuck in a rut.

So, here are my ideas to get out:
1. join a gym and start getting healthy
2. get my passport changed to my married name
3. get a kitten!
4. celebrate my class with fun activities
5. work hard
6. keep a food journal (do NOT count calories)
7. got to the gym at least 3 times a week
8. read a good book...or twenty
9. do/make something...for me
10. love my husband

On a side note: I'll be celebrating 10 months of marriage on Halloween! Any ideas of what we should do?

Happy Fall, Y'all

Today is the first day of fall.

And, it is the first day of my new outlook on life.

If you've discovered this blog, then yay for you! :) And, welcome!! :)

I was writing another blog, but I couldn't get it to format the way I wanted and got frustrated. Then, some things went down at work, and I've decided to take a new outlook on life.

This is it: people are too negative, and they complain too much. I do not want to be that person. I want to be grateful for all that I have. I want to be polite and thank those for the opportunities they have given me. I want to be positive!!
