“It’s suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the New Year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps - our promises made, and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures - or closed ourselves down, for fear of getting hurt. Because that’s what New Year’s is all about: getting another chance. A chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about ‘what if’ and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight - and it will drop - let’s remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long.”

— Claire (Times Square Association Director)

- As a small rebuttle to my most recent post, K & I did watch the movie New Year’s Eve on New Year’s Day. Pretty good I might add. There was a specific moment when Claire (played by Hilary Swank) gives a speech to the media while the NYE ball is being repaired…and I totally agree with it. I still like “lifestyle change” rather than “resolution”.

2-A-DAYS.

New Years Resolution’s are usually broken. Goals are good to make, but it shouldn’t have to be at the beginning of a new year. Prior to 2012, K & myself started the Insanity Workout - a 60-day Total Body Conditioning program. I wouldn’t call it a resolution, but a lifestyle change, but a “healthy” lifestyle change.

It’s been about 7, going on 8 weeks, and i’ve never felt more inclined to workout. Mind you that this is something we wanted to do together, aside from training for this year’s Triple Crown. Fitting Insanity and running into my schedule was a little difficult at first. Especially, for the fact that K & I are getting married this coming September, we wanted to not only look good for our wedding, but feel just as good in the process.

Schedule: Run in the wee early morning hours (around 530-6ish), work, Insanity w/ K.

p.s. We both know it’s a 60-day challenge, but why not keep doing it past the 60 days? It’s pretty awesome I tell ya.

Note to self.

…and those also with significant others.

I’m not a very good cook, although, I’d really like to be. I’ve even thought about going to culinary school, too.

Yesterday, my fiancee was sick and I asked her if there was anything I could bring her. Initially, she said “no”, but later that morning, she asked me to bring her soup. More specifically, she wanted me to make her chicken noodle soup. I kinda thought to myself, “my cooking skills suck.” I replied back and told her I’d come over and make it for her. She was pretty excited. I really wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out, but ended up being better than I thought it was going to turn out.

On top of that, I came to the conclusion that you just have to try the things that you’re not too proficient in to become proficient. I’m still learning each day. For me to see that smile on K’s face after having my homemade chicken noodle soup was more gratifying than anything else.

If she’s happy, then I’m happy…even when she’s sick as a dog.

I’d do anything for her. I’d “cook” anything for her:) I love her.

To the fellas, especially:

Take care of your significant other. Make her feel like she’s on top of the world. Give her a reason to fall in love with you all over again….everyday.

Pinterest fail.

Today, I tried to post a couple things on our Pinterest Board, but for some reason, it wouldn’t upload the pictures I was trying to post.

So…

…I’ll just post them here.

30. Continued.

Having reached the age of 30, I couldn’t have imagined to be where I am today. Thinking this was just gonna be another year, especially more emphasis about wedding planning, Kristen really surprised me this year. She’s the AWESOMEST!!!

God has truly blessed me over the years. I really couldn’t have asked for anything more.

80's baby.

As a gift to my fiancee, Kristen, her Matron of Honor, Karen, took us out to this awesome, totally ‘RAD’ musical (I didn’t even know about) in downtown…where the show, Triple Espresso, used to be.

It’s called miXtape. I remember asking what Kristen what it was about, but the synopsis was pretty vague. I then looked on the website and found a better take on it:

“It’s a [musical] celebration of that most Awesome of decades!”
