New Beginnings

Its a New Year and I want to do a better job documenting my life: growing places, thoughts, impressions, experiences, feelings, political leanings, theological revelations... you name it, I'm going to do my best to blog about it. Most likely, this blog will not be controversial (no need), it will just be life according to me. A pattern will help me do this best: Managing Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Wildcard Wednesday, Theology Thursday, and Fitness Friday.

Overall, I would say that I am in a good place in my life right now.
I am happily married to the sweetest hubby in the world, serving God in my occupation (gainfully employed), healthy for the most part (a little squishier than I should be, always a work in progress), I have wonderful friends that I admire (I need to do better job keeping up) and I adore my precious family (in-laws, and out-laws). Over the next few years I anticipate growth as we start having children (someday, not today) and as we go on adventures (big and small). Don't get me wrong, I have struggles, but every day I have some wonderful things that swell my heart with gratitude. This blog is dedicated to the beauty that is all of life: ups and downs, pain and love. I want a record of these memories and all that is in-between.

Some challenges (not resolutions) for me in 2012:
1. clothing challenge issued by a friend (will explain more later)
2. I will run the Turkey Trot (5k) in 2012.
3. As always, manage the squishy (lose weight, get healthy).
4. Daily Blogging. Should be a fun journey. :)

Today I am thankful for: my Momma- its her birthday!
