Happy New Year to you!

Well, here we are in 2011. Some new numbers to write and a day to celebrate. But what does this new year mean to you? A fresh start with a goal? A goal restarted for the 10th time? Or longer? Of course we always want to be healthier, well, most of the time. And we strive to a better person and somehow be more motivated. I'd love to start going to the gym again. And right now I am very motivated, but how long will it last? Hopefully, it will energize me and I'll love it. Not sure if the gym is right for me or if I should motivate myself to using the outdoors. It would be less expensive!

More then the latest in health and trend, where is God taking you? I'd love to hear your story. I'm not sure where God is taking me yet, but it will be an interesting journey. As always our family seems to never have a dull moment. We had a wonderful Christmas season. We (as a family group, or individuals) watched Drew make the paper when his school performed the Grinch that stole Christmas, where Drew learned that "Christmas is the joy of giving!" (also it was confirmed that Santa and Rudolf were actually alive since Drew received a letter from Santa, including tidbits of Rudolf's day and the new elf, Henry. (It was quite hilarious!) We had the twins preschool Christmas celebration where we made crafts with lots of glitter and sparkles! And then brought them home! Yay for glitter! We went to Sophia's Christmas ballet recital. She had so much fun. It totally melted my heart. She did such a good job, and we were so proud of her. She keeps asking me when she can do it again! We attended 2 Christmas banquets as date night, and one with the whole family. We got a chance to spent time with those close to us and friends we don't see very often but would love to. We sewed cushion covers for friends, watched snow fall, watched Christmas movies, fixed excavators, grouted tiles around the shower, went for rides on golf carts, had hot chocolate and baked goods, baked, organized the house (still in progress) and had fun together!

We are looking forward to what God has for us in the new year. May God bless you all as he leads you down the path of 2011. We hope that you have a year rich in blessings, renewed love, passion, and health! We also hope that we'll be seeing you soon!
