A New Year

2009 was not the year for blogging for me. I lost the heart for it when I blogged about how I was feeling when a friend was mistreating me (I did not use her name in my post). She attacked me for it and couldn't believe that that I would blog about these things because people from church read my blog. Well, it really hurt me and really turned me off to my blog.

But, I have decided that I don't care. This is my blog. If I want to blog about how silly people look in skinny jeans or how depressed I am feeling about the weather; I will.

So, as I look forward to the year 2010, I wanted to document some of my goals and resolutions.

1. Finish reading The Bible. I started late last January with the goal to finish it in a year. I am about 75% finished.
2. Run my first half marathon in April, continue running 1/2 marathons for the rest of the year. (I'd love to run a marathon in 2011).
3. Get back to healthy eating habits. I did a 10 week Farrells Extreme Bodyshaping and it totally killed my healthy eating and running. Need to get it back!
4. Finish my schooling by spring! This might be a stretch, but I REALLY need to get it done and get working!
5. Focus on family fun nights more.
6. Blog more often. As I was writing my Christmas letter, I realized how important my blog is in documenting our memories and the few posts I had this past year really helped me remember the fun things that we did as a family.

I am looking forward to our vacation this summer and all of the other great things that we have planned. I am also looking forward to getting a job in a new career and bringing in some additional income for our family!

I pray all of you have a wonderful and safe start to the new year!
