2013

It has taken me way too long to create my new years resolutions.  I have no idea what to say for 2013.  Of course, I want to lose weight, eat better, do amazing things!  But lets be honest, these goals to simplify, be inspired, be original, work hard, and enjoy fit me best!  So lets see what happens in 2013.  I would sure love to simplify and enjoy life.  

One of my favorite shows lately...

I just love the tv show New Girl.  I love how awkward it is and how it explains my life through awkwardness perfectly.  Wish I could dress like Jess.

2012 Big Changes for the Beckmans

2012 was a great year for the Beckman family.  Sean got promoted and starting working at Darigold in South Seattle, WA.  I took a new position with the University of Idaho as a Regional Admissions Counselor.  I get the pleasure to work from home which is such a blessing.  We purchased our first home and got out of our apartment.  Got new cars.  I cannot wait and hope 2013 is amazing but a little slower.  We will see what the Lord has planned for us.  Get ready to watch!

New Years 2013!

Sean and I usually have a very causal New Years with friends/family or just ourselves.  Watching a movie or playing games.  This year we had the pleasure of going to Bremerton, taking a ferry and celebrating our pastors 40th birthday at Anthony's seafood restaurant.  We celebrated the new year with our friends and church family.  It was really fun to get all dressed up.  Plus, we took the 11:40 pm ferry back and could see the fireworks off of the Seattle space needle.  It was really fun and magical.  This will be one New Years, I will never forget!  Plus, my dress here was awesome and from Ross!  What a deal.  Stay tuned for 2013 resolutions.

Thanks for following!

What I have looked like lately...

This has been what I have looked like over Christmas and the days after.  I did dress up and look great for Christmas eve and Christmas (photos to come later) but other than that, I have literally lived in the flannel shirt I got for Christmas from my mom and my hair has looked like that.  I had the 26th off and did work the 27th and 28th but work from home.  So the motivation to look good: not there lol.  What do you look like when no one will see you?

1st Christmas Tree Adventure

I cannot believe out of my 26 years of living that I have never or cannot remember going and picking out a real growing tree to cut down for Christmas.  I was determined this year to do it since we got our first home.  We have had a little fake Christmas tree when living in an apartment and going to our families homes for Christmas.  We were afraid it would die or dry out and catch fire.  We went to a lot of Christmas tree farms that were closed or not really farms until we found Pilchuck Secret Valley Christmas Tree Farm.  We had a blast, as you can see the excitement on my face.  Sean was amazing and cut it and drag it the whole way to our car.  Rudy was so excited he even pooped on an actual Christmas tree.  Overall, a great memory that I will cherish forever.
