DoTerra Event at Mi Casa
So - obviously i'm obsessed with DoTerra Essential Oils. They've honestly changed my life and i've only been using them 4 months.
As of today i've lost 37 pounds thanks to their Slim & Sassy blend.
Anywho - I'm having another DoTerra event at my house Wednesday at 7 where an expert will be there to answer all questions that i don't know the answer to. She's awesome. Plus you can see my new kitchen & hang out with me!!!
so come to my little party.
if you don't know my address, let me know and i'll give it to you.
(i'm a freak about online privacy lately)

Happy New Year!!! We WELCOME 2011
Everyone's been doing these cute "Top 10" lists of 2010 - so here's one from me:
1- Kenyon moved in with us. we LOVE having him here.
2- I started losing weight in September. As of this morning, i'm down 35 pounds. I'm hoping to hit my ultimate goal by June or July
3- We remodeled our kitchen all by ourselves. We primed/painted the cabinets, painted all the walls, and did a bitchin' backsplash. today the under cabinet lighting goes up, we do some touchups on the paint and we're DONE.
4- We've become a lot closer with some of our friends/family. we're so BLESSED to have everyone so close.
5 - Derek & I both got a raise, bringing our financial goals much closer to being a reality.
6 - we decided NOT to start trying for a baby yet. We want to travel & go to Europe within the next year and a half first.
7 - We had a lot of people leave us this year. It's not exciting - but worth mentioning. We said goodbye to Pappa, Uncle Ben, Great Grandma Hendrix, Aunt Louise & Carol Woodward. We miss them all so much.
8 - We bought a TV for our room - which has made a huge impact on productivity in our bedroom as far as laundry goes. :)
9 - We traveled quite a bit. We went on a cruise to Mexico, went to Vegas twice, & Florida for 2 weeks.
10 - We've loved & laughed with each other every single day. That's a miracle to appreciate. I'm so thankful for my life.
I'll post some pictures of some of my favorite things from 2010:
Kenyon, Derek & I Thanksgiving Day
Our Pumpkins from Halloween
Derek & I on the Nemo Ride in DisneyWorld
Brandi Carlile Concert
Our new kitchen!
We're blessed and I'm thankful.
I hope everyone has a great 2011 - we're sure planning on it!

Merry Christmas
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!
We sure did.
We visited 7 homes between the 24th & 25th - and it was nuts, but it was so amazing. We are very lucky to have so much family close by to share the holiday's with.
We got a big screen TV for our bedroom, I got a pair of the most perfect Tom's Wedge Heels, and everything else a girl could ask for.

Mi Casa
I've been bitten by a bug. I call this bug
the "i want to re-decorate, re-furnish, re-paint everything" bug.
i LOOOVE my house. for those of you who haven't been, its a cute 3 story, 2100 sq. foot townhome. we have an end unit, so we only share one wall with our neighbors, so it really doesn't even feel like a townhome. It has 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms with an unfinished basement. We have our own fenced in backyard and a 2 car garage that i'm so thankful for.
let me tell you what i DONT love, and what i'm itching to change. any opinions/words of advice are MUCH appreciated.
- my cabinets. they are a kind of orange tint wood, and i HATE them. our dining table and chairs are black/dark brown, and i want them to match the cabinets. i've thought about painting them, as this intimidates me less than staining, but my dad told me "NOOOOO. that's so 50's" (direct quote). so maybe i'll get some professional help with this one.
My parents have a friend in their ward who is a carpenter, so maybe he'll cut me a deal and i can get mine done soon. we'll see.
- kitchen floor. its the same orange-y tone as my cabinets. i want something different, but i'm not sure what. i tened to lean more to dark tones, but i dont want my kitchen to be too dark since it is pretty small. maybe a light backsplash & walls would make it lighter?
- my basement. Kenyon lives down there (in the warmer times of the year. otherwise he's in our spare room upstairs) and our laundry is down there. otherwise its an unorganized "storage" space. it drives me crazy. not even all of the framing is up, there's only one outlet down there, and there's no heat. I dont really care if it's FINISHED, but i at least want to put dry wall up, and have heat/electiricty down there. I think it'd be fun to have a big tv and a bunch of lovesac's down there, and maybe a pool table or something.
- white walls. there have only been 1 other owner of our house before us, and they painted the living room area a nice tan color with a red accent wall & did an excellent job. We've painted our bedroom a cool dark olive green color, but everything else is white and i HATE it. that's the fun of buying your own place - is painting the walls!
here are the spaces i'm DYING to paint: my kitchen (color suggestions? i dont want yellow or red), bathrooms, spare bedrooms, stairwell (its very tall, so i might need to hire a professional).
i just need to start doing it.
i have 2 weeks off of work for Christmas, so I just want to do as much as i can. It's nice having Kenyon live with us. he's pretty handy and i know he'll help me. i just know this is going to cost a lot. It's totally worth it for me though.
I need to post pictures of my house soon so you know what we're dealing with , but suggestions are TOTALLY welcome!

December Truths
There's been a few new things happening in the Woodward household in the past month or so:
1 - Christmas tree is up, all the presents are purchased, wrapped & under the tree. I love this time of year. The smells, the lights, the parties. so much fun. I'm so thankful. Plus it's fun that Kenyon's home (for good) to celebrate with us. I love my family.
2 - Derek & I have decided not to start trying for a baby for a few more years. We're currently planning a Europe trip within the next 1-2 years (we have to save up). THEN we'll start trying. I just really want to go to Italy before we have a baby keeping us home, and it'd be nice if i could guarentee that i can be a stay at home mama by the time we have a baby. I THINK we could make that happen, but i want to be sure. I admire moms soooo much that go to work (plus school usually) and be a mom, but if we're able to have me stay home, its worth the wait for us.
3 - I've lost 32 pounds! I've been using pure essential oils from a company called DoTerra, and they honestly work. I had given up hope on ever losing my weight i've accumulated over the past 5 years, (eating out, eating one meal a day, never excersizing) but it's honestly working! I use the "slim & sassy" oils every day (its a blend of grapefruit, peppermint & oregeno oils) and the "GX Assist cleanse" about once a month to help with cravings.
My ULTIMATE goal is to be where I was in high school when i was dancing regularly, and I'm 1/3 of the way there. I have a lot I'd still like to lose, but it's amazing knowing I'm getting there.
