florida

I am sooo sad that winter vacation is over. I head back to school on Monday and I am sort of looking foward to it.

I just returned from a glorious week down in Florida where the weather was b-e-a-utiful and the food was delicious! Me and the parents headed over to Disney World 2 out of the 5 days and the other 2 I just stayed and relaxed by the pool at the resort.




We stayed at the Marriot resort and I got my own room! :o) So it was a pretty nice relaxing place.

Cousin Jenny came to visit too! And you know what that means! Whenever we have people come visit or something to that matter, that always means greaaaat food! ha I had my fill of cuban sandwiches up to my ears and I had my taste of cuban food for the next couple to some months. It was good times and eating was about 50% of the entire vacation.

So overall, I have to say that this was a pretty good vacation. I'll throw in some more pictures of Disney and what-not from vacation.

new beginnings

2007.

New year means a new beginning for many things. Here are my 'resolutions' for a better year.
(These are in random order that I could think of)

1. Lose some weight.
I know that everyone says "Cari you're not fat!" but the reality of it is when they are looking, I am sucking it in! ha! Actually according to the weight and height chart, I am a little on the hefty side and it wouldn't hurt to lose some of that extra-not-needed baggage. It'll help me in the future to maintain a healthy lifestyle and it's better to start when I'm young (or younger) then I will be.

2. Get more involved.
It seems these past 2 years of college have been classes and then staying in my room or apartment. I never seem to go out and get into clubs or groups. This year, I plan on joinging some groups such as CRU and Circle K and also possibly joining the intermural softball team. It couldn't hurt to join a sports team (plus it'll give me exercise).

3. Get closer to God.
I have to admit, before college I was involved with the normal routine of going to Church every Sunday and having my quiet times everyday and since the beginning of my college years I have definitely been slacking. I hope this year to draw nearer to God and seek his guidance for my future dealing with school, jobs, friends, and even my future husband.

Those are the main ones so far for this year. I'm sure more will come as the year passes but these are the three I want to focus on.

On a brighter note, my parents surprised me with an early 21st birthday present! They are taking me down to Florida and I get to go to Disney World! I know that sounds real cheesy and all that jazz, but I'm really excited! I haven't been there for a while and I'm looking forward to acting like a little kid again! I think that is a great way to start of the new year.
