Happy 2010!!!!

Resolutions

Ok here are my resolutions from 2009…..

1. Get to a healthy weight by 2010 of 130-140. I have lost 16 pounds since this summer but I have 60 to go! And I’m committed to doing it this year. I have been working out almost every day and watching what I’m eating. I know I have had this resolution before but this year I WILL DO IT!!!!!!!
Well I blew this one! Haha! But having a baby kinda knulled this one. However I do weigh less now then I did last year so that is good.


2. Take care of myself. I don’t just want to lose weight I want to feel good. I have had such a crummy few years with my health and I want to get it all under control! I think my weight is a good start but I have to get really healthy!!
I do feel that I have made an effort to get healthier. I eat better now than I did last year and have been trying to work out more.

3. Keep my house clean!!!! I have been doing a lot better with it but I want to keep it that way and not let it get out of hand!
I have accomplished this goal!! My house is usually clean! Sometimes it is a bit messy but not for long!


4. Save for a down payment on a house. We already have some savings but not enough so were going to be scrimping and saving as much as possible so we can own our own home!
Well life completely took a turn this year! We no longer have the money to out a down payment on a house but that’s what happens when you are unemployed, have a baby, and move clear across the country!


5. Get a raise! I have not had one for almost 3 years so I think it’s about time I get one!
Well this failed!! Haha I got a cut in pay now I get paid in drool and poop!

6. Complete my first year of collage with good grades!!
I did good in school I only got one b and that was in my accounting class. So that is great!

So this year’s resolutions are as follows:

1. Get my stomach muscles back into shape. Being stretched so much has really taken the strength out of me! Haha
2. Lose weight (I really can’t wait till this is no longer on my list)
3. Complete my AA!!
4. Step outside myself and meet people who I can be friends with
5. Find time for myself

Well I think that is about it! Happy 2010! I hope this is a better year than 2009 was!!!

Week 7 & 8 getting into the Holidays!

Well the past couple of weeks have been pretty uneventful. We celebrated Clover's first Thanksgiving. It was my first Thanksgiving not spent with my family so it was different for me but it was really nice. Carl and I went to Ponsdelion park in the morning and walked around on the trails. It was really nice. We then got Maddy and went to Grandma and Grandpas. We had a really nice dinner! It was a very calm day.



We went to Boca this weekend it was the first time we went out there since Clover was born. We did not go out to the Beach because we did not have ones for the parking and it was getting late. So we wondered around the town. It is so quite and peaceful there, it is the one part of Florida that I love. I could spend all my time there.


We also went to Fishermen Village to get Clover's picture with Santa. We were the first ones to see Santa. Clover gave him a huge smile it was great! She looked so cute in her little dress!


It amazes me how much Clover has changed since she was born it's been just two months but it seems like she has changed so much. She is getting much more interactive with you now. She smiles and coos a lot now. She also has started kicking here legs like crazy. She loves taking a bath and kicking away. We have gotten on a really good routine! She sleeps most nights from 9 to 6 or so some days she wakes at 3am and others she sleeps all the way through till 8. It is awesome to get to sleep all night however I think the days of restful sleep are far behind me. I think I am always listening for her so I don't really sleep soundly. It amazes me to watch Carl and her interact. I knew he would be a wonderful Father but to actually see it is amazing! She is so going to have him wrapped around her little finger that is for sure.

Since this will be our first Christmas as a real Family we have been discussing what we want to do for our holiday traditions. It's fun to think about all the things that you do with your family and what we want to do with ours. My Great Grandfather always makes this foamy drink thing for breakfast so Carl and I will be doing that and were going to have sweedish pancakes as well. We want to get a Christmas tree in a week or so. I just am hoping it will cool off so we can go and it be cold because there is just something wrong with getting a tree in shorts and a tank top! haha. I want to start baking cookies. That was always so much fun around Christmas baking cookies.

Well that is all for now...
