2011

It's 2011...and I am happy that 2010 is finally over!  I usually don't saythings like that, but 2010 has been a heck of a year for me and my family.  So 2011 is a welcomed new chapter in life for me.  I have set a few resolutions for myself this year...they are:

1. Read the whole bible .

(This one I started in November, so I'm doing pretty good so far!)

2. Save more money.

3. Exercise more.

4. Watch less TV.

5. Work harder.

I don't think that any of these are unattainable.  I really feel like it is something I can do!

Christmas was nice this year.  Austin was with his dad, so it was quiet and calm.  We did have Luke, but he made it more exciting and new.  He woke  up at about 5:00AM on Christmas morning.  I stayed at my parent's house so I could be with him.  I went in and got him and we snuggled for about 45 minutes.  Finally at almost 6:00AM, my mom came in looking for him.  His face was priceless when he saw his new red car!!!!  He's only 17 months old, but he has this Christmas thing down!  It was a great day to just hang out with my family.  I haven't really broadcast this, but before Thanksgiving my dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.  He has a very aggressive form and they can not operate on him.  Monday, December 27th, he started his cancer treatment.  So it was nice to have a lot of time to spend with him during Christmas.  I missed Ausitn, but I needed this time with my mom & dad!

New Year's was fun too.  I'm usually a stay home kind of girl for NYE, but this year I went to Jessica's work function.  It's called BLT (Black-tie, Lingerie, or Toga)!  We dressed up black-tie and had a great time.  But as usual, I was back at the hotel and in bed by 12:30!! 

Austin got home on January 2nd and has grown in the 2 weeks he was gone!  I hate it when that happens.  I measured him and he is 5'6-1/4" tall!  Can't forget the 1/4"!  He returned to school today, the 5th.  So...my life is FINALLY back in a routine!  A routine that I like!
