Reflecting: 14 in 14

14. Favorite Quote

"He's not perfect. You aren't either and the two of you will never be perfect."

I love quotes so this is pretty hard for me.  Since 2014 was Jason and I's 1st year of marriage I would have to say one of my favorite quotes is the first line of a Bob Marley quote that we had read at our wedding ceremony.  With social media everywhere, it is easy to get caught up in thinking your relationship needs to be like everyone else's.  What we often forget is that we don't post the "bad" things in our lives.  You will argue, disagree, get mad at times but it doesn't mean your relationship is doomed.  This is real life.  It is how you handle these tough situations that make for a great relationship.

13. Favorite Article of Clothing

Leggings.  I especially love the fleece line ones for winter.  Leggings have also saved me from having to buy a whole new wardrobe as I work on losing my pregnancy weight.  

12. Favorite Movie

Gone Girl 

I LOVED the book and the movie was just as good. They did an amazing job of keeping the movie almost exactly like the book.

11. Favorite TV series

I have many favorite TV series but something new I started watching this year was The Blacklist.  

10. Favorite Restaurant

Tasty Thai 

Their Panang Curry is by far my favorite but I also love their Pad Thai 

9. Favorite New Thing You Tried

Pho

The owners of Tasty Thai opened a Pho restaurant next door, Big Bowl Pho, and I love it.  It is perfect for these cold winter days.  

8. Favorite Gift you Received

The gift of my son.  Life changing

7. Favorite Book

I love to read but I didn't read as much as I usually do.  I think it was mostly because I was pregnant for most of 2014 and this girl was in bed pretty early every night.  I was so tired most nights that I couldn't stay awake to read a few pages of a book.  With that said, I did read Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs and really like it.  I even got Jason the sequel for Christmas.  

6. Favorite Thing you Pinned

That is just too difficult.  I pin too many good things.  

5. Favorite Accomplishment

Giving birth to my beautiful, healthy son.  

4. Favorite Photo

Taken a few hours after meeting this little guy for the first time.  Love at first sight!

3. Favorite Memory

By far the birth of Colton

2. 2015 Goal

To become more active.  I have wanted to run a 5k for a while now but have never done it.  I am also needing to lose some of this pregnancy weight as well as some extra weight I was carrying before getting pregnant. 

1. One Little Word

Thankful

I have so much to be thankful for.  A loving husband, beautiful home, a healthy baby, great parents, amazing friends, a job I love.  I could go on forever.  I need to remember all the great things in my life when I am having a bad day.  The good outnumbers the bad by far.

Bring on 2015!
