It's a NEW YEAR!!!

New Years Eve was a lot of fun.  We went and had sushi with some friends and then went downtown to Valletta for some live music and a lot of people!!  



New Years Day I took Marshall down to the beach to write in the sand.  I had really wanted to do the picture of 2011 being washed away and 2012 underneath it.  I love beach pictures and it was a gorgeous day so I was excited he went with me to take some fun pictures.



We drove around to a few stores because our tradition on New Years Day is to eat pork and sauerkraut.  Well Marshall despises sauerkraut so I thought maybe I would make my grandmas famous sauerkraut balls and he would maybe try them.  If not, I would eat the whole batch :) Well every store was closed and I had everything BUT the sauerkraut.  Soooo... I'm going to make them in the next few days and will post the recipe and steps because they are seriously the best I've ever had!!!  So we ended up have some friends over and cooked out.  I am a HUGE fan of Tastefully Simple products and made their beer cheese soup and warm onion dip.  If you have never tried anything from them... I would find a consultant and order ASAP!  Beer bread is my favorite thing they have!  My sister sells it so if there aren't any you know, let me know and I'll hook you up!



I also got to shop online at Express because my mom sent me a gift card.  This is what I picked out...  I'm SO excited for it to come in!



I also got this super cute scarf.  The picture wouldn't upload for me. They are having great sales right now!  So now in order to wear this dress, I need to REALLY work on my New Years Goal of working out 5x a week.  Today was Day #1 and I successfully did 30 minutes of cardio and some upper body/arm weights.  Hopefully this dress will be motivation!!

What did you do for New Years?
