2012

Well, we're 12 days into 2012, so I guess it's time that I post about the New Year.  We had a great New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.  The boys spent the night with Nana and Pops and we had dinner with friends and saw New Year's Eve at the theatre.  It was a pretty good movie, and perfect for the evening.  Then on New Year's Day, we picked the boys up and went to my parents' house.  Usually we have a big late lunch of dressing and all that kind of food.  But, in keeping with our different Christmas dinner (enchiladas) we ordered pizza from Papa Johns and Momma cooked black eyed peas.  She said we had to have them with our pizza.

I never did post about it, but before New Year's, my parents, Isaac and I went to the Zac Brown Band concert.  Clarence was supposed to go, but he was at the beginning of his stomach virus at the time and couldn't make it.  So, Isaac took his place, and we had a great time!

I have thought a lot about resolutions for this new year, and since I never really keep any, I decided to put more thought into it and make some that I can actually keep.  So, here they are:

1. Eat less and drink more water.  If I lose some weight, great.
2. Slow down.  Enjoy today and enjoy time with my children and my family.
3. Stop living in the future.  Think less about what I'm going to do, and more about what I'm doing or need to do now.
4. Have more dates with my husband.  We've been married for almost 10 years, and we need to still make time for each other.  Not as Momma and Daddy, but as husband and wife and friends.

I think that's about it for now.  That's all I've been able to come up with so far anyway.  I have read a lot of other posts regarding resolutions, and the one that I remember the most is a person who posted about choosing a word to live by or strive for for the new year.  I like that idea, so I'm going to pick one too.  My word is going to be PEACE.  I want to be more content and have more peace.  I want to feel less like I have something more to do or something more to be (professionally).  Back to the above, I want to live more in today and less in the distant future.

Ok, well that's enough for tonight.  Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.
