Happy NO Year!!! (for you Friends fans out there)

I hope you all had a safe and blessed New Year celebration! :) I spent most of today reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the possibilities ahead of me. As I'm sure everyone is doing right now. Hehe.

2009 was a big year for me, most of all, of course, because I became a mother! It's still so unreal to me... what an honor. What an adventure. I can grow people. And cute people at that! Here's a pic that shows Caleb's cuteness and how patient he is with Mommy and her tendency to mess with him. :P



I am so stinkin' excited for 2010. I don't really know why I believe it so strongly but there's just something about turning 25 that really makes me think I am going to finally be able to overcome a lot of things I've wrestled with my whole life. I just know. I'm going to do it. I'm going to mean it. It's just going to get better. I'm claiming His promises and doing my part.

While I'm a month away from becoming the big 2-5, I have already started putting my big girl pants on. Knowing that I never keep resolutions, I made some life changes the week before New Year's Eve just to kinda test 'em out. ;P As absolutely insane as it sounds, I've decided that the only way for me to fit in daily exercise is to get up early to do it before I'm really conscious. Ha! I just know myself and I know I'm not going to come home from a full day of work on my feet to take care of Caleb and somehow put him DOWN and leave Brett to go exercise. Not gonna happen.

So, I've been VOLUNTARILY getting up at 5 AM (on my vacation, no less) to workout, have quiet time, and get ready for the day. It's been SOOOOO WONDERFUL! I've actually done it everyday. I guess because my mind isn't really awake yet, I can't come up with excuses not to! But it just feels so awesome to have accomplished something before my day has really even started... and it makes me want to make better choices all day. Such a blessing. Monday will really be the test though because I'll be attempting to keep it up while under pressure to hurry up and make it to work. But I think it's doable. ;)

What are your hopes and plans for 2K10? I don't think I'll ever get used to saying '10... I miss the '90s. :P
