Welcome 2011

So, traditionally at the onset of a new year I look back and remember the year that passed.  This past year has been . . . well an interesting one!  Lots of changes.

*Steven got married (to Ashley, 2/5/2010)
*we had the most awesomest baby EVER after an extremely difficult pregnancy, 5 weeks of bed rest and a looooooooooooong labor (4/7/10)
*I started a new job as an instructional coach - making the transition out of the classroom
*I started a SECOND job as the Director of Children's Ministry at the Fishburn UMC.
*visited the in-laws in Texas
*stayed in a (gorgeous) beach house for the first time ever
*Michelle and Adam got married (10/9/10)
*Cassidy was baptized
*Celebrated Grandma Kratz's 75th birthday
*Celebrated our first wedding anniversary
*lost (at least) 45 lbs - but I haven't weighed myself in like 4 months so I don't know if that one counts!


*****and I'm sure a million other things - but between two jobs, a baby and a husband my brain and my body are super tired and I can't think of anything else right now!


So . . . looking forward to next year:

*as typical I'd like to lose weight.  My long term goal: 150, but no, I'm not telling you how many pounds that is
*I'd like to continue my commitment to remaining positive - too often I find myself bogged down by all the negativity out there - so I'm trying to always share the positive things that are going on
*be the best mom and wife I can be
*get our finances into a healthier place and save some money
*be more organized at work and at home

All in all - I just want to enjoy my daughter and my family

So . . . even though its a little late - Happy New Year Y'all!
