Cheers to the New Year! #2016

I personally think celebrating New Years is lame. For people like Darin and I who don't drink alcohol, it's very very lame. Everytime I celebrate this holiday it's a bust. But This year it was actually fun! I spent most of the day of the 31st sleeping because I had worked the night before and Darin had to work that day so why would I get up? Haha! Anyways the night started and we went to my Aunt Mindys house. My cousins were in town so they held a family party! We had food and played games. We also did a small gift exchange and I got an AWESOME smelling candle. There also may have been a spontaneous dance party.. And of course Darin did not participate! It was a very fun way to spend a lame holiday. After my aunts, we went to The Dufresnes house and play cards. Overall a great night! 

The next day we slept in which is a vacation in itself because that never happens for Darin. Then we spent the day gathering supplies for sledding. We had to go out to Hurricane and borrow snow clothes from Darin's parents. Then grabbed tubes from Big O and lunch . We drove out to Pine Valley and enjoyed a couple of cold hours sledding. It was a blast and a fun way to start the year with friends. 

I think the New Year is important because it gives you a chance to start fresh. It's a motivating time for me. I can't wait for this year. I have 5 small resolutions that I am working on: 

1) Get into nursing school 

2) Get orangized 

3) simplify. 

4) be happy 

5) be healthy 

Often times I find myself stressing over things I don't need to. It's a waste of time and frustration. It causes unnecessary drama and anxiety. I am eliminating it from my life. I am working on being happy and healthy and making most of a new year. I hope everyone has a wonderful year. Make the most of your fresh start to a new year!
