End of 2010

What a year. A lot happened but I also felt like my head was in the sand. Looking back, I accomplished a lot. I ran my first 1/2 and full marathon. L started kindergarten and Jeff is almost done with his master's.

I didn't feel like I accomplished much on my 2010 goals, so I am keeping them the same for 2011. I also slacked off a lot on my blog. I resolve to try and update it more often.

For the past two years, I've picked a word for the year. 2010 was patience.

** My 2011 word is BALANCE**

I do a lot. I'm a wife, mother, physician assistant, pet keeper, cleaner, cooker, scrap booker, reader....the list goes on. I want to find time for all things, but not feel stretched. I want to appreciate L more and spend quality time with her. So I'll keep you updated on my progress. I'll be working on updating the blog tonight and tomorrow (which means my book list will go...write the title down if you want to read it).

Take care and Happy New Year!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

1 Day til Christmas...

The presents are all under the tree. The stockings are filled and a little girl is sleeping snug in her bed, visioning lots of presents from Santa. The rest of the family is asleep, except Jeff and I, who are finishing up a couple things.

Have a good night and a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

2 Days Til Christmas

It's almost here...and I am so ready. Today is our traditional day of the girls going out for pedicures. L's nails look the best-she got snowmen and reindeer on her fingers. My mom and I had a great chat. We finished a couple errands then settled in at home for the afternoon. Mom and dad took us out to PF Chang's for supper. Delicious! L is in the mode of I can't wait until Christmas.

I think all the errands have been run. Going to do some baking tomorrow.

4 and 3 Days Til Christmas

This daily blog thing is difficult. I don't know how people do it.

4 Days Til Christmas: my Friday. Work went by fairly quickly. We went to the Shocker game last night and they beat Tulsa by 3! Great game! Everyone had a great time.

Today: we went shopping. Victoria's Secret, Scrapfunattic, butcher to get the ham. That was a sample of what we did. It was fun, but I'm glad we are home. I am pooped! Tonight is low keyed. Homemade ziti and some time chilling at home. Looking forward to it.

5 Days Til Christmas

Today was a work day. I got somewhat caught up on my work. I got home tonight and my mom and dad ARE HERE!!!! My mom looks great. I'll post a picture soon. We have had fun playing and visiting tonight. Gotta run!

6 Days Til Christmas

My dad kindly reminded me I didn't post yesterday. My defense is yesterday was my catch up day. I woke up early and started wrapping. Reggie tried to help me....she almost got wrapped! L woke up awhile later and was feeling good. We wrapped presents for a bit and had a quiet breakfast. She had a birthday party in the afternoon and I got busy and cleaned house. A quick early supper with friends at Jose Pepper's and then we were back home to wrap.

We finished up the night going to Heartspring Lights on the Lake. It was very pretty. Our friend,Dan, was Santa for the night. L had a great time telling her wishes and Kam was freaked out!
