Happy New Year!

It is so hard to believe that it is 2009 already...it seems just like yesterday I was graduating from high school (1996), graduating from college (2000), getting married (2002), building a house (2004), and having our first baby (2007). Where does the time go? I know they say time flies when you're having fun...they're not kidding!

2008 was great...2009 will be divine! There are so many things I'd love to do...
-I want to put others first.
-I want to give more.
-I want to take things in stride.
-I want to cherish each moment of every day.
-I want to be the best wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and teacher that I can possibly be.
-I don't want to look so forward to the future that I miss the present.
-I want to give Makayla as many experiences as possible.
-I want to be a healthy pregnant mama!
-I want to eat healthy and exercise each day.
-I want to play more with the dog.
-I want to organize and keep a clean house.
-I want to try new recipes...and cook more.
-I want to try new things.
-I want to get a bike...after new baby arrives. Can you just picture preggo on a bike? :)
-I want to stop worrying about what others think...or just stop worrying in general.
-I want to be better about keeping in touch with others.
-I just want to be a better person.
