A Historical Day!

I just wanted to say that I'm so excited that my birthday this year will go down in history. Not because it's my birthday, but because we'll be swearing in the first African American President! I am excited to see what Barak Obama is going to do with this country and I love that I'll be able to tell my kids and grandkids that I remember this day in history; and it's my birthday to boot! Best Birthday Ever! Go Obama!

My New Year's Resolution

So my New Year's Resolution is different than it has been in other years.  It's usually to get in shape and lose weight and I have a specific number I want to get to on the scale and all that.  This year I want to get my LIFE in shape.  I want to do more than be physically healthy.  I want to be healthy emotionally, spiritually, financially, physically etc.  I know I won't be able to accomplish all of this every day, but I'm taking it one day at a time.  I don't have specific numbers I need to get to or certain deadlines to meet.  I just want to focus on being the best me I can be every day.  I want to be better today than I was yesterday.  I want to take care of myself so I can  be a good wife, daughter, sister, friend, student, employee, etc.  I know this will take work but I'm up for the challenge.  I hope you all have come up with what you resolve to do this year, even if that means resolving to not set a specific, cliche resolution. ;)

Another New Year!

Well, yet another year of my life has flown by even faster than the last.  I'll be 23 in 10 days and I can honestly say that I am very happy with my life.  Tonight I went to the bridal show with my dad's fiance and I told her the same thing.  Everything is good right now.  Both of my parents are happily engaged, (yes, Mom and Larry got engaged on New Year's Eve, their two year anniversary and my dad is engaged to the Love of his life too, Mona) my sister is the happiest she's been in a long time and has a great boyfriend that adds to that happiness and Max and I are happy and healthy.  I am just so blessed.  There isn't anything I'd change.  Max is busy with school again and I'm getting my application together for nursing school hoping that THIS time I'll get in...  I'll be sure to post the results of my application at the end of March/beginning of April!  So keep your fingers crossed until then and check back!
