Day Eight...

Short term goals for this month and why:

• Go to the gym at least 3 times a week for 40 minutes
  

Why? Because I have a need inside me to feel healthy and get in better shape. Going to the gym and working out makes me feel amazing and helps me not want to eat junk food.

• Read my scriptures and say my personal prayers daily.

Why? Because I need to be better at it. I am pretty good about saying my personal prayers but I have really slacked on the personal scripture study. And I know it makes THE BIGGEST difference in my day. I feel so much better and happier and my days are amazing.

• Be a better Wife

Why? I am not saying I am a bad wife. I think I do a pretty fair job actually. But, there is one area in where I am a massive slacker: cooking and cleaning. I get home from work and the last thing I want to do is clean and cook. I have started trying to clean one room a day when I get home from work and try to cook with Brett. It's getting better but I want to get to a point where I am in the habit of coming home and before I sit down to relax, I clean and cook dinner. It's going to happen:)

• To be more outgoing and make more friends at church

Why? I am a very outgoing person, but there is something about going to church when you are married and you just want to stick with your husband. I am not sure what it is. Maybe it's just easy to do that? And everyone else is doing it so why not right?! NOT! I want to get out there and be friends with all the amazing girls in my Ward. I have been getting better at this one as well, especially since we have made it a goal to stay in Logan more weekends instead of going down to SLC so it's been easier now that I am starting to remember everyone's names. I just want to get better at it and make a new friend every week.

Day Six...

A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you




This picture is awesome. I love how it shows Brett's playful side. Anywho, this one is pretty obvious. My husband and Best friend has THE BIGGEST impact on me for sure. I have become such a better person because of this amazing boy:) I have been able to achieve so many of my personal goals for myself because of his help and patience and love. He has helped me see where I need to improve in my life not by telling me, but by his example. He really wants me to be a better person and pushes me to be without being overbearing. I know I have said this time and time again on this blog, but he really is the MOST patient person I have EVER met in my life. Seriously, I can be the biggest brat sometimes and he is so patient and loving with my mood swings and girl emotions. I would probably go crazy if I lived with me but somehow I got lucky and got someone who can put up with me and knows all my flaws, fears, quarks and crazy sides and loves me more than anything. I am amazed that I got an amazing man who fits me like a glove and is perfect for me. Brett, I love you. I am a better person because of you and I am so grateful to be yours for eternity. Thanks for helping me become the person I am today and thank you for impacting me for the better:) Eternity here we come...

Day Five

Favorite super hero and why...


It's Ironman. Strong. Robert Downey Jr. He can Fly. Has a sweet house. Has the hottest cars. Jarvis. Goes from rich snob to rich nice guy in a two hour period. Saves the World. Need I say more?

Day Five

A Picture of Somewhere I've Been...

Disneyworld!!

Growing up we were very VERY blessed to have an amazing mom and dad who loved to travel and show us the world. This is the last vacation I remember taking with my dad before he died. I was 5 I think. I remember him being so patient with me and my siblings as we wanted to go on ride after ride. A few years ago my mom took my sister and I back there. I could spend an entire year there and still want to go back. This is my All-time Favorite place in the entire world. It holds some of my happiest memories. And it's true when they say it's the happiest place on earth! My dream place to live is this castle. No-joke. And yes, I realize I sound like a little 5-year old playing dress-up but I really do love this place with all my heart. It's the place where dreams come true:)

Day Four

A Habit That I Wish I Didn't Have...

BEING LATE!!!! And, after looking on the internet trying to find a pic to go along with this horrible habit of mine, I found this little treat and now I feel really bad about it...because it's true!! I never thought of it like that but it truly is a selfish thing to do and I do it ALMOST everywhere I go. I am always a couple of minutes late to work and I hate it. That is where I get bugged the most, because it makes me look bad and I am doing it to myself. I AM GOING TO STOP THIS HABIT! It's selfish and rude. I want to be professional and let people know that their time is just as valuable if not more-so than mine is. It's stopping Today!!

DAY THREE

A Picture of Me and a Friend...

I have a TON of pics with me and my friends....it was hard to narrow it down. I decided to put up a pic of me and my oldest friend in the book......Whiters! I have been Best Friends with this girl since she was born. Literally. She is my little sister pretty much and I love her to death. We don't see each other nearly as much as we used too, but things are always the same when we see each other. Love you Olgs!!

DAY TWO

The meaning behind my blog name...

Well, it's really simple actually. My last name is Hancock, and my husbands last name is Hancock. Therefore, you have The Hancocks. Voila! Whew, that was easy:)

DAY ONE

A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

This is the most recent picture I have of myself where I am by myself, well, sort of. Not the best pic but what can you do:) Okay, now onto the 15 interesting facts:

1. I am actually really excited to go back to school and get my degree. NEVER EVER thought I would feel that way because I have always hated school, but, after just working for a year and a half, I am ready to go back and get educated. I guess that shows I am maturing somewhat:) That will be happening next fall.

2. I am the lightest sleeper ever. Seriously. I wake up literally every time Brett moves or when I hear a creak in the house. It's good and bad at the same time. I love being alert, but I hate being woken up every half hour. Brett on the other hand is the total opposite. He could sleep through a tornado.

3. I have been the same size/weight since I was a Senior in High School. I lost 10 stress lbs. before my wedding but that slowly drifted back. Now I am back to where I was in high school, which doesn't bother me. I just hope it stays that way:)

4. I love picking off my nail polish. I paint my nails, and as soon as one of them gets a little bit of nail-polish scraped off or chipped off, I go at it and tear off all the nail polish on each nail. I can't stop until each nail is naked. It drives Brett insane.

5. I have probably seen every episode of every season of The Hills at least 10 times. Obsessed doesn't touch how much I love that show. Don't judge;)

6. I am starting to get into crafting...something I NEVER thought I would ever do. It's a good hobby and hopefully I will get some cute stuff out of doing it.

7. I have only kissed 2 people in my entire life. I have rejected quite a few people (not to sound weird or anything) because I think kisses should mean something.

8. I have never broken a bone or had stitches or had to go to the emergency room. I am scared for the day when one of those happens.

9. I have implants. Two teeth implants I mean. They are the two teeth that surround my two front teeth. It was hereditary from my sweet mother. It's super annoying because I can't bite into an apple or anything hard straight with my front teeth, and I am always paranoid that they are going to get knocked out or something. But, nobody can tell so its great.

10. My favorite feeling is when I put on a new pair of socks! Ohhhhh man. I am going to go put some on right now.....it's THAT good!

11. The first time Brett kissed me we were watching Pearl Harbor at like 11:30pm and he put me in a headlock while the credits were going at the end (we were playing around) with the Faith Hill song "There You'll Be" playing and he kissed me. Super funny but way romantic. It was perfect. We ended up having a make-out session for a while (haha TMI). And, it was only the second time we had hung out. I had only known him for like 2 weeks. Definitely not my usual way of doing things before I met him, but, it obviously was fun and it obviously paid off:)

12. I am obsessed with singing. I love going on drives by myself, blasting me some Britney Spears or Taylor Swift and belting it out. I also love singing in the shower. I seriously rock out. I love singing anytime, anywhere. Brett always asks me to sing him solo's and maybe someday I will, but for now I am too shy. He has to stick with listening to me belt out "Baby One More Time" in the shower I guess.

13. When I am stressed, the ultimate cure for me is to go shopping and blow some $$. I don't know why that helps take all my cares away, but it does. I don't do it nearly as much now as I did when I was single because I am poor, but the occasional shopping trip is made here and there when my stress gets to be too much.

14. I love big Sunglasses. Brett thinks I look like a bug, but I don't care. I HEART them.

15. I never take off my make-up before i go to bed; not because I am insecure, but because I never have and it's never affected my skin. I am too lazy too to be honest. The only time my make-up comes off is when I shower or when I work-out (I don't even know what that feels like anymore, that is going to change.)
