A NEW YEAR WITH NEW BEGINNINGS



Oh, hey there!
I can officially say happy twenty thirteen!! 
When we were celebrating the other night, I just had this feeling 2013 is going to be a great year. Not that anyone ever predicts a bad year {what fun would that be?}, but I still had that feeling. 2012 was one of the best years for us, and I can only hope it stays that way. I'm excited to see what is in store for myself, KC&CO, and in our little family! For new years eve, we went out to dinner with some friends to McCormick & Schmick's, and then ended up at Columbus' newly opened casino. We had a great time and I bet you can imagine the crazy good people watching we had at the casino. It was pretty fantastic, ha ha. I told myself that no matter how late we stayed out {ended up being around 2am} that I would make it to spin class at 10am the next morning, and I did! I'm determined to stick to those goals I told you about Monday.

 

What I Wore: Dress-H&M, Blazer-old {not sure}, Tights-Target, Shoes-Macy's. 

 

This is one of my best friends who is due with her baby boy at the end of this month!
We are so excited to meet him and I know Marissa is ready to pop him out. ;)
 
 {yep, our Napa glasses got some use NYE.}

Anyway, what have we been up to? 
Well, our tree and Christmas decorations were put away the other day, and now our house feels totally bare. I think I need to invest in some more house decorations to make up for this! I know I should have some riveting post to start the new year, but the truth is one day work weeks get to me. And by get to me I mean I soak them up in every way possible. Like even standing outside in the 20 degree temps to get pictures with Billy and Rocky in the snow. Completely normal and acceptable, right? I think they turned out so cute, and were worth braving the cold temps for. I'm excited to frame some of these!


The holiday break hasn't quite ended for us yet. Remember when I mentioned we are going skiing? We leave for our weekend ski trip to Snowshoe, WV early tomorrow morning! We are so excited to ski with family and friends in the mountains and I've already reserved one of the hot tubs for myself. I told the staff at the resort to hold it for me with a sign that reads, "Reserved 24/7 for Katie Krysh-don't even think about stepping foot in this hot tub." Kidding. I wish. But I don't plan on moving out of it every single night. Billy will have to pry me out with offering wine, or something equally as good. Steph will be hosting Saw It. Pinned It. Did It link-up by her lonesome tomorrow, so link-up with her if you're interested! It won't be the same without me {I know, I know}, but try and make do. ;)

I promise I will be back next week fully refreshed with some great posts to share to start this new year! Also, I will be contacting the winner of my last giveaway via email today. I haven't forgot!

  12. LOVE your NYE dress from H&M. Oh how I wish we had an H&M here! So many good deals. Also love those snow pictures. Have to ask - did you set the self-timer? :) Your red boots just make the picture perfect, haha!

  13. I absolutely did not see this dress at H&M or we would have been twins. I'm obsessed. These pictures in frames would make the perfect piece for the new decorations that you need, completely adorable. Happy New Year and happy hot tubbing!

  17. I adore your snow pictures but I do NOT envy your snowy winter. it is supposed to be a brisk 80* here today! That part isn't so great but the snow is even less appealing - i'm already ALWAYS cold as it is!

    Have a great time on your skiing trip!
