Out With the Old and in With the New

Well I made it out of 2010 alive!  There is a lot to be said for that because I figured I would have killed myself or at least be in jail by now for killing one of my kids, lol...  *Disclaimer* Of course I am joking; I would never intentionally hurt one of my children, or myself...  My husband on the other hand... J/K (maybe)

We have some great things to look forward to this year, but first let's start with some highlights from last year in pictures...

 My sister got married
Liam started using the big boy potty!
We moved to Georgia
Liam became a big brother
My sisters wedding reception
My brother-in-law David graduated Basic Law Enforcement Training
First trip to the Atlanta Aquarium
Liam's 3rd Birthday
Greg received his Associates Degree in Electronic Systems Technology 
from the Community College of the Air Force
Melanie's first Christmas

Some things that are coming our way this year are (in no particular order):
1.  GREG IS COMING HOME!!!!
2.  I will meet my first niece/nephew!
3.  My brother-in-law John is getting married so I will be getting another Loving sister!
4.  Liam will be in his first wedding as the ring bearer in John and Amy's wedding.
5.  Melanie will celebrate her first birthday!
6.  I have to make the choice to stay in the Air Force or get out and go to school full time.
7.  Taking Liam to see his first Monster Truck Rally.
8.  Going to my cousins wedding.
9.  Hopefully going to the Pirate Festival in Savannah.
10.  Greg and I are possibly going on a cruise.

There are a couple other things I want to do that I guess you could call my resolutions.  I want to start reading things outside of my normal realm. My goal is to finish at least 10 books that are not the kind of things I would normally read.  I have been looking up lists of "classic" novels and choosing some to read.  I have also been pouring over Oprah's book list to choose some books.  I have been utilizing the library on base.  I am currently half way through East of Eden by John Steinbeck.  It is a little slow, but very good. 

Another thing I really want to buckle down on is this weight loss problem.  I had been doing everything right and didn't lose a single pound in 6 months, so I gave up.  I even spoke with a dietitian, had lab work done, was working out twice a day, and nothing...  So I am going to buckle back down on my diet and exercise and see if I can make some changes this year.

I also am going to try and make more of an effort to blog more.  I just have to find the time!

2010 brought us some great changes; I can only hope 2011 is just as great!
