A New Year

1. While everyone is busily making their new years resolutions I am trying my best not to make any at all. Well at least not an specific ones like to lose weight or to become a runner, etc. Not that I don't need to shed those pounds but because I have never actually kept a new years resolution before and I doubt I will this year either. Instead I just want to focus 2012 on being a better Me. Nothing specific, just being a better wife, a better mother, a better employee, a better friend, a better homemaker, etc. I just want to be a better person and enjoy the life that God has so graciously given me. To really live in the now.

2. I had the whole week off from work last week. It was AMAZING. I spent lots of time with my girl, my hubby, cleaning house, doing laundry and staying in my PJ's all day most days. It was lovely.

3. Two of my sweet friends Samantha and Ginny came into town Thursday. We ate Mexican, laid around in our PJ's, shopped, watched TV, played with EK, did lots of talking and had so much fun. It is so refreshing to have some girl time :) And I am so lucky to have a husband who can tolerate being surrounded by women for a day or two!

4. I don't know what came over me this past week but I don't think I pulled out my camera even once. Hence the reason for this picture-less post.

5. I am well on my way of ridding our house of all the clutter. It has been driving me crazy for quite some time and I've realized I am hoarding things I just do not need, like, or want. There is no reason two and a half people should have as much stuff as we do just sitting around. Might as well give it to someone who can use it, right? We have already taken 2 truck loads to Goodwill and I hope to have another truck load here soon.

6. I am making a list of all of the little projects I want to complete around the house this coming year. Nothing drastic but just a few little changes here and there to spruce up the place a bit. I can already hear Michael groaning, haha :)

7. In three months we will be the parents of a 2 year old. How can that be?

8. Speaking of birthday's I guess I better get to planning that Birthday party huh? I am so excited about the theme this year :) It's all Beachy! Sand, crabs, beach balls and all!!

9. I just love how our house looks and feels after all the Christmas Decorations have been put away. It looks cleaner and bigger :) A fresh start for a new year!

10. Sorry for the long boring post... I will try to pull out the camera this week :)
