New Year, New Plans!

So, 2010 was an amazing time for me! It is going to be so hard to top it!

 This year I...

• Got Engaged on New Years Eve
• Got Married in September
• Vacationed in Hawaii
• Got to see my extended family three different times!
• Started school again
• Watched Erik start Chiropractic school!
• Was a bridesmaid in my older sister's wedding

But, 2011 I have so much hope for you... Erik and I drove back from the beach where we went to celebrate my sister's wedding and the whole way back we talked about the things we want to do during the new year. Usually we make the mistake of making all our plans too vague and therefore hard to accomplish or know when they are accomplished. So this year we are trying to be more detailed on the plans. 

Here are some we came up with:

• Travel to New Mexico for our one year anniversary trip
• Take more day trips to go hiking or wine tasting
• Cook at home more (make pies, yummy one dish dinners, and homemade granola)
• Hold hands when we're having an argument
• Go to the wildlife safari (We've been talking about it since our first month together)
• Play more games instead of watching television

Here's to an amazing new year!

Mr. & Mrs. Dart-McLean!

Happy Wedding Day!

I love you Big Sister!

Welcome to the Family, Jonah!

And Happy New Year, Everyone!

It's Raining Cats and Dogs!

So for those of you that live in Portland, you know what I am taking about. It has been raining like the dickens for the last week and I am probably the only person in Portland that first, doesn't own rain boots, and second, thinks it is a good idea to walk all over Southeast wearing clog slippers. All in all, the slippers are toast and I was freezing for the whole night! (At least I was a bit tipsy, it being my sister's bachelorette and all). But anyways. It has brought me to the point where before I go to the coast where it is also raining like crazy, I need to buy some rain boots. So, I have been looking online and here are some I am going to look for tomorrow.

I just want a simple mid-calf black rain boot! Wish me luck!

And I will be back Sunday because my sister is getting married on Friday!!
