happy 2010.

i'm a little late but how about a new year's blog.

i am almost as horrible about keeping resolutions as i am about updating this blog! :) but i do have some 2010 hopes and drems and i'll share...

+ a healthy weight would be good. i'm okay not being skinny but feeling good about myself would be nice. working from home is wonderful but miserable for exercise. AND also being in school is not good for finding time for myself to just get out an walk around the block. AND the fact that my parents now own a pizza shop is miserable too. i'll find a happy balance and make it work. i've had a little wake up call this year so i know what i need to do.

+ 2009 was seriously tough year on us financially. we are both really thankful for great jobs with great benefits; however, in early 2009 we were $$$$ drained which meant emotionally just flat out crazy! it wasn't just one thing in particular it just seemed like everything was really bad timing. well - i take that back - our gas bills would make your hair stand up! anyway, we are starting out 2010 in a MUCH MUCH MUCH better place. we really focused ourselves as a couple, made some changes, and made one really conservative budget. it's worked and we are so thankful.

+ SEE MORE OF MY FRIENDS AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN!!! no need to elaborate. it's a must. i miss them all so so much. i'm missing out on wonderful babies that i am dying to get to know and some of the best friends i can even imagine. i had a few years of finding myself, but i am ready. i want to pick up where we left off.

+ school. school. school. i really want to find that drive that i had a few years back to just - GET. SCHOOL. DONE. i am doing the 4 year degree on the 10 year plan but it's the only thing that works for us. it's slow, but i'm there. i'm going to graduate and that's really the only thing that i've wanted for the past 8 years since i became a mama.

+ the given wish list items... healthy, happy children, less work, more play! :)


for now, i'm going to play games with two very handsome little boys, wait on angie to make it home from walmart with our "stock up" groceries, & then wait on the million inches of snow we are supposed to be getting!!
