The Anti-New Years Revolution

So as the new year approaches everyone is talking about their "new years revolutions" and what they want to do differently in the upcoming year...in my experience-most people (including myself...) make goals and resolutions to only forget them or fail at them within the first few days, weeks, or possibly months...I don't want to do that-I want to change the way that I live-change the way that I eat-change the way that I treat my body. I want to become a healthier me! I have tried the Weight Watchers route before and right now I am not going to rejoin-money is tight-and we already are spending money on Planet Fitness each month and I have got to get back into my routine of going and working out! I feel so great when I get done and I just know that if I can get myself into my routine that I would really do well with it! I am not going to give myself a "weight loss goal" or a number that I want to lose I just want to change the way that I live and one way is by working out more and becoming healthier as the year progresses!

Christmas x4

I absolutely LOVE the ENTIRE Christmas season-the decorations, the traditions, ALL of it!! I got to experience several different Christmas experiences this year-Small Group, Crossville with the Kington side of the family, Jackson with my Parents, and then finally Dyersburg with Drew's side of the family! This was our first Christmas in our first home as homeowners and it's been so much fun! I was able to take some of our previous used decorations and add some new ones that fit the house better and I couldn't be happier! Drew let me put lights up on the house and I have just been a happy little girl all season! Mom and I went shopping the day after Christmas and I got lots of stuff to use next year and I can't wait! Each Christmas celebration had it's memories and loves of mine and I can't wait to see what happens between now and next Christmas season!

Family!

Family!  My little family!  I looked at Drew the other night and told him how it's hard to believe that we have been together for 9 Christmases and this is our 4th one as a married couple-our own family!  I am beyond blessed and cannot wait to see what will change before next Christmas! 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all! I have come to absolutly LOVE Andrew Peterson's Behold the Lamb of God Christmas cd...We saw him in concert a few years ago and I just could listen to the songs over an over again-he tells the story of the Bible and this song is one of my favorites!

May your CHRISTmas be filled with joy, peace, hope, love and most of all CHRIST!

2013 in Review

I have really dropped the ball with blogging this year-my intention of this blog has always been just to use it as a way of getting my thoughts and whatnot down-obviously I have not done a good job at that. Enjoy the picture as a recap of my year with Drewby and my goal is to blog at least 3 times a week for right now...
