2013 - GONE ALREADY? Sheesssh...I just got started

2013 Gone? WOW!

Can't believe its over...or almost. Going over my blog, I saw that I made a list in the beginning of 2013, about 12 things that happened to me in 2012.

I wanna do something like this again. Don't know if I can give you a list of 13, but here goes!

{1} I loved hosting my third "THEMED" Bring Back my Bar open house! I LOVE having themes! This year, not sure what I will THEME it out, but you better believe it will be AMAZING!!!!
ABOVE: Rootbeer Float Cake BELOW: Bananrama cupcakes


{2} Superstore closed at 10 PM. Those who know me, KNOW I waited till 10:59 to grab milk. Sometimes, if I was there in the afternoon, the "DOOR GUY" as I call him, would ask me what I am doing and why I am there so early:) It was a bad habit...Now I forget that Superstore closes early, AND buy my milk at Shoppers at 10:59 - - And they are open till Midnight ;0) #yepgotinearly

{3}I EARNED my very first incentive trip with the Scentsy Family!! TOTALLY STOKED!! I went to Costa Rica in May, for completely FREE! From airfare, to the most amazing hotel, to the most amazing beaches, and I can't even tell you all the amazing things that were there! #askmehowtoearnyourownfreetrip
 Great times meeting new people! @ripjackinn
 Hanging out on the beach with friends! Lifetime memories.
 Dinner on the beach with amazing people!
 Jess and Mitch: Two of the most amazing people! They took time to pour into us, and give us knowledge to come home with, and we are not on their team, but we are on the SCENTSY TEAM! LOVE THEM!
 Got to hang out with my Superstar Director, Christy, and Crazy Paul in the back ;0) Sad Christy was so sick, but thankful for the time we DID have :)  And Paul? We hiked through Costa Rican jungle, and didn't die. Quality time. lol



 Best vacation with Mike ever! No stress, no money needed, no worries, just R&R at it's FINEST!



 If you EVER go to Costa Rica, take the sunset sail on the Lazy Lizard :) BEST ONE YET!

{4} I attended Spring Sprint in Regina, WITH so many of my team mates, AND my best friend!!! I love that they were all able to come and share this experience with me! AND I was asked to present on customer service, which was a HUGE honor!!! What a fabulous time, and a GREAT experience!! You can watch me HERE

{5}I got purple chunks put in my hair, my very own photoshoot done by the amazing Megan over at Phraze Photography who, did I already say she is amazing? So much fun, and will never forget it!

{6} My sisters and I, have become good friends.



My sister Sarah, has taught me many things about the beauty of a life, sold out to Jesus. She has gone through trials this year that I am thankful that are NOT mine, but I relished sharing them with her every moment. Her beauty has shone through each and every one of them, and she really does rely on Jesus. She is a strong woman, who has a heart of gold and shines so brightly! I am blessed to call her my sister AND my friend!



My sister Tina, has out shone so many women, when it comes to so many things! She has started out on her own business venture, and is successful, and VERY good at what she does! One of the things that she has taught me, is how to be a Proverbs 31 woman. This girl has got it DOWN!! You need inspiration, talk to her! The other thing I saw this year, is her strength. Through her husband being away most of the summer, I watched her carry on and just take it one day at a time and NOT lose her mind. With three kids, and crazy sisters...this has GOT to be an amazing task. I am, again, so blessed to call her my sister and once again, most definitely, my friend! XO



Cheryl is my FRIEND first, turned family :) She fits right in, and she comes to our gatherings, including our parents! LOL  I love this lady, and I am so glad my sisters fell in love with her too! She holds a very special, and very dear spot in my life! When it comes to sharing hopes, dreams, hurts, and reality with this girl, I can do that and not worry about what she will think of me...EVER. No matter WHAT the circumstance!  We have spy cameras in each others' homes, as we often exchange ideas and thoughts, and convo's that we had earlier in the day/week, and no word of lie, the other family has had the same ones!! I appreciate this lady from the bottom of my heart, and the love she has shared with me in my life, I could never put a price on it :)  God knew what He was doing when He put us together!
** These are some of our adventures together! Grand Forks Trip & Hiking

 AND that is SIX!!! AND what a long post...stay tuned for another **however many I can pull up** tommorow!!

Thanks for sharing this ride with me
