2012, SO IT IS!

I feel so old when I say "time flies" but I really feel as though it does. Looking back feels a lot like I am hanging my head out of the car window as we wiz down the freeway doing 80mph; I am 35. I've been married almost 14 years. Nate is 12! and the list just keeps going...

Last year I tried the whole "resolution" thing and well I feel like it isn't really for me. I guess I kinda feel like I live my life pretty much trying to do these things:
Write more on here
Grow my hair out
Healthier eating and exercise
Balance home and work
Financial peace 
Spiritually focused 
day in and day out rather I write them down for myself or others. I did give it some thought recently and I don't see any additions to what I wrote last year. So as cheesy as it seems I am going to greet 2012 with the same "resolutions" as last year.

I will add that even though I feel like time flies I am also feeling overly blessed! 2011 brought many great opportunities to our family and even in these hard and uncertain times I truly feel the Lord's blessings upon my family! I have a certain peace that can only come from above when I think about what our future holds!

Thankful, Day 11 - Veteran's Day

Today I am thankful for our Military men and women and their families.

As we pay tribute to all our service men and women, past and present, this verse came to mind: John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. May God bless all our service men and women and place a wall of protection around them.

Thankful, Day 10

Today I am thankful for Jack Daniels and all the American whiskey distilleries . I know some of you are gonna give me flak on this one but hey it's true ;)
Yep, that's me in front of Mr. Jack's statue when I was in 3rd grade. Mom and dad are to the left. And that same year we toured Budweiser in St. Louis.

Thankful, Day 7

Today I am thankful for the Big Dreamers and Self Believers of this world. It's no secret that this handsome fellow comes to my mind first...
