new years resolutions

okay so i feel bad for constantly neglecting my blog. i created this with intentions of using this as a diary to share my thoughts and interests. however, it's a new year and i've already started to think up some resolutions and i promise to try and write on this a little more often.

so far this is what i have:
1. MORE EXERCISE! i need to be toned and fabulous all the time, not just summer
2. blog more
3. keep in touch with my friends from home
4. visit my best friends at college
5. STOP COMPLAINING!
6. be more thankful for EVERYTHING
since i'll be without my laptop tomorrow, good riddance 2010! it's been a great year; i did a lot of traveling, and fell in love, but i lost a great pal and grandpa. all the experiences this year has made me a lot stronger and more confident. i hope 2011 has some good things to offer. see you all on the flipside. happy new year!

Dear Gramps,

Happy Birthday! Wow, 93 years old. It's still hard to believe you aren't here right now snacking on mandarins. I still am in mourning and I miss you everyday. I've been calling Grams every night and she misses you terribly. It was so hard to see you leave us, but I know you are in a much better place, free of illness, pain, and suffering. You are in heaven walking, talking, and looking down on all of us; watching over us and the ranch. Your funeral service is on Saturday and I am speaking. I hope you like all the words I will say and the closure I need so I can not be sad anymore, but happy with all the time I have spent with you. Thanks for all the great memories that fill my childhood. It still makes me smile to think about tractor rides and swimming, spending the night with you and Grams and telling you jokes. I will always love you.
Love always, Krista
