2014 + new years resolutions.

welp, 2014 was quite the year.

we moved twice, traveled all over the country visiting family, bought our first car, took a new job in an awesome new place, celebrated liam's first birthday, and much more. although it hasn't always been easy, it's been a great year of learning and trusting in change.

with that, i'm excited to ring in the new year!

my new years resolutions for 2015 are:

-no soda for an entire year.

john and i are soda drinkers and lovers of dr. pepper. so this year, we have decided to cut it out as a step to becoming healthier. this will definitely be a toughie for us...but i'm posting on here to make myself accountable. yikes!

-read the Book of Mormon at least once.

as many of you may remember, i read the entire Book of Mormon cover to cover during my pregnancy with liam. that was back in 2013, and i wanted to accomplish it again this upcoming year. i will be using the app "Chapter Tap" to aid me in this process and keep me on track with my goal.

-read at least 25 books.

i L-O-V-E to read, and this year, i want to make sure that i read at least 25 books. i will be blogging about the books that i complete throughout the year. 

-travel and explore to new states.

we live so close to many fun states, and we want to make a trip to venture out to them as much as we can! i've been to 17/50 states so far, 33 to go!

-make my blog bigger and better.

i've been doing this blogging thing on the side, and have absolutely loved doing it, but i've decided to become more serious about it. there will be awesome new changes upcoming in the year 2015 for my blog The House of Fries!

what does 2015 have in store for us? can't wait to find out!

from our family to yours, happy new year, everyone! 

what are your resolutions?
