Happy Early Birthday!

So....in looking at flights for April, Josh and I were convinced we'd go to Aruba....but we kept waiting to book. In respect of the New Year's Resolution.....last weekend I did more research.

Flights to Amsterdam were only $600 - only an additional $100 than the Aruba flight. Feeling that we could ALWAYS go somewhere warm, I booked the flight to Amsterdam! We leave April 8th, land in Amsterdam at 7am on the 9th - and then leave for home on the 13th! I can't belive we'll be there for my b-day!

We are staying here for FREE: Marriott!

I also did some more searching - and looks like we can take a train to Paris in 2 hours or Brussels in an hour. I'm letting Josh decide where he wants to go - since he's never been to Europe. I've done Paris, but not Brussels or Amsterdam!

I'm definitely putting this on my list:

New Year's Resolutions....

Each and every year I make at least ONE good New Year's goal. The idea is that it holds me accountable. These goals aren't general - they are specific - and they also aren't something that I can ever do on my own. Instead, Josh and I decide on our goals together. This way, someone else is in on this with me and they don't seem so unreachable.

So, after a date night at The Independent with Josh, we decided on 2011 Resolutions (written on a bar napkin):
1. Take one vacation together (vacation=flight).
2. Pay down $20k equity in our house.
3. Maintain weight or lose 10 lbs. (I'm maintain - Josh is lose).
4. Purchase own HOME computer.
5. Increase savings by $15k.

Mostly financial - but some goals that we TALK about forever - but never actually do. Specifically, the vacation.....which with the winter looking as long as it is right now - I'm really pushing for.

Timberwolves Game

The MN Timberwolves game I went to was AMAZING! The tickets were what was really sweet - saw myself on FSN! Here are some pics from the floor seats we had!

Guess What I'm Doing TONIGHT!

I totally scored THESE tickets tonight. I'm SUPER excited....though I wish I would have worn a better outfit. I am NOT going to make an impression on any star players with this outfit.

Tickets are COURTSIDE and we also have a SUITE for food:) I can't wait!
