Why do we do that? Tomorrow, I will still remember all of it won't I? Nonetheless, I am excited about a new year, but there is not a whole lot that I looking to forget about this year. Lots of good things happened this year for me.
Things I liked about 2009
1. My sister and I threw my mom the most amazing surprise 50th birthday back in January!
2. I went on an awesome ski trip to Snowshoe, WV.
3. It snowed big back in March!
4. My 31st Birthday was great.... Ribs and family at home.
5. I did my first Cooper River Run (even though I walked.)
6. I went to the beach for almost 3 weeks this summer and then again in September.
7. I built an awesome new deck on my house and brought the patio furniture all the way back from Oxford, MS because I got an awesome deal on it!!!!
8. I learned a lot of techy stuff this year to help me be a better teacher.
9. I lost 30 lbs. and I am still losing... Allowing me to buy a size 33 pants for the first time since 10th grade!!!
10. All of my family made it through another year safe, happy, and healthy!
When I read over that list I am amazed! What an awesome year the Lord blessed me with!!!
There are a few things I want to do a better job at during 2010. I am gonna type a few goals ( NOT RESOLUTIONS... I always break them.) here that I would like to see happen for me this upcoming year, and next year I will revisit and the list and see how I did...

2010 Goals
1. Be a better blogger... I really fell off the wagon this year when school started back. It is a great outlet for me and I really do not care if I just have 10 readers or 1,000.
Goal: At least 1 blog a week.
2. Write cards to people. Don't you love getting stuff in the mail. I write cards a good bit, but there are several times I will see someone at church, school, or my family that I think my need an encouraging note and I never write it. Really... How long would that take?
Goal: Write a card at least once a month.
3. Continue to lose weight to my goal of 180 and maintain it. NO MORE MR. 200!!!!
Goal: Continue to eat healthy... Red meat once a week, No fast food, water, and Wii Fit at least 3 times a week.
4. Read at least 4 books during the entire year.... I know this goal may seem too easy, especially for some of you big time readers.... but I am the slowest reader on the planet. I have to read and read and reread..... 4 almost seems insurmountable to me.... Although I did read 3 just this past summer.... Wish me luck with this one.... Any ideas for a book?
Goal: 1 book per season.
5. Save money.... HELP ME LORD..... This one is so hard for me... I have a bit of a shopping addiction... I just bought a Buddy the Elf costume online last night at a Christmas Clearance site... It was only 18 dollars and I wanted it!!!! Ya'll focus your prayers on this one.
Goal: Save at least 100 dollars more a month than I am this year!
I cannot wait til this time next year. I pray that I would be diligent in meeting all these goals... I think I may print them and post them somewhere to see everyday. Wish me luck.
I hope all of you have a great, awesome, wonderful, prosperous 2010!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
