A new year...

2010 was a good year for our family.  It was a hard year, but nevertheless a good one.  We are blessed. 

One thing I love about a new year is the time to reflect on the past year (or years) and then to look forward to what may be in the future.  I don't really do resolutions, but I do like to set goals for myself.  Sometimes I make the goals and sometimes not, but it's always good to have them.  So, here are some of my goals for 2011.
  • Read through the Bible:  I haven't done this since before the kids were born, so I think it's time to do it again. 
  • Weight loss:  2010 was a good start - I dropped 60 pounds (and then gained 10 back over the last 4 months - boo!) So, time to start again and drop it for good.  My incentive/reward:  I asked Casey if he would take a dance class with me and he said yes!
  • Organization - if I even knew where to start...but I'm going to try...this is the "loftiest" of my goals...
  • Finish the "Come and See" discipleship program through ariel.org - I started this in 2009 and then life seemed to fall apart (it didn't, but it felt like it at the time)...followed by a move to Texas....  I was recently praying about enrolling in some classes from Liberty online, and then remembered that I'd started this...so I'll finish this up first.  
 What are your goals or resolutions for 2011?

  2. I think you should buy a long shirt with no leggings and call it a dress. ahahahaha! :)

    My "New Year's" resolution is to write my mother actual letters. I'll keep you updated on my progress. :)

  3. Organization is on my list too...but have been working on it for a few months already. It may actually "take" this time:) I guess the prospect of having 3 kids under 3 1/2 in a few months is kicking my tail into gear. Great job on the other goals! You look great by the way!
