A New Year & Decade begins...



I have had so many people say to me " I didn't realize it was the end of a DECADE..", but it was. I started writing my "decade in review" last week, but I have not gotten it finished. When I do, I'll post it. I am not sure people would be too interested in reading it, but I have enjoyed writing it and remembering all the things that happened each year- After all, when I began this decade I had just graduated from high school and I turned 18 at the end of that 1st year. Crazy how things have changed in my life since then.



Christmas was a lot of fun. We spent time with family and ate great food. I think Giuliana opened gifts for a week! She got some really cool stuff from everyone and I have had to go through her old toys and get them together to be donated. You have to make room for the new stuff,plus her birthday is right around the corner. It's hard to believe my little baby is going to be 3 soon.



New years resolutions... It seems to me, that everyone makes them, and no one really follows them. Myself included for the most part. Last year I made 2. The first was to simply GET THROUGH '09 and the 2ed one was to loose some weight. I didn't really work on number 1 till about June or July, and I am happy to report I really have gotten a lot of my "self" back. And the loosing weight thing-- that happened quite on accident at work back in April. Since then, I have lost 19.5 pounds. I am pretty excited about that, and I am looking tons better! I still have about 12-15 pounds to go until I am at my pre-baby weight and shape, but it's coming right along. I'll hopefully get the last bit of weight off before summer. I don't think Ill ever look as great as I once did, and you wont catch me in a bikini ever again, but I sure can feel good and look good again, and I intend to do just that :)

Here are a few pictures from Christmas/New Years.
