I wanted to write the top three girl and boy names I like for my future children, but it seems anytime that I utter these names outloud my friends who are having children before me go and snatch them up! So for now, they are my secret! Who knows, they will probably change by the time that I have kids. I just like the unique names...but I am started to hear more babies being born with one of my names :(, and I don't like to be in the mainstream...in anything that I do!

NEW YEARS

I also wanted to post on the New Year. First of all, I was contemplating my biggest accomplishment of 2007, and it was hard to narrow it done. I guess I would say that graduating from college had to be my number one. Following that path in close seconds and thirds, I would say that getting accepted into Grad school and losing 40 pounds (thus sticking to my New Year's resolution from last year). I just have to say that 2007 was really a great year for me when I think back on it. Things are still going well with Josh and I, I turned 21, and have completed many personal and professional goals of my own.

So this year, I had to come up with a new resolution (since I can't use weight loss as a resolution this year! YAY!!)

• I want to start attending church in East Grand Forks. I have decided that I really enjoy going to church, but do not go nearly enough!
• I NEED to budget my money better. I get paid very little for being a college graduate (it's the price I am willing to pay for the experience of my internship), and I need to save as much as I can. I won't be able to save too terribly much I realize, but if I don't put any away I tend to buy things I really don't need!
• Plus I suppose I need to just say it....continue to tone my body and maintain my weight loss!!

Good luck to everyone on their own resolutions!!
