Resolutions

So it's the start of a new year.  I'm excited to see what 2011 has to bring.  2010 was a great year.  Of course we had some bumps along the way, but overall it truly was a great year.  I know some people don't like resolutions because it usually just sets us up for failure.  And I sort of agree with that as I mostly failed at my resolutions last year.  But I think it's the attempt at making myself a better person that I personally really enjoy.  So drumroll please.............I present my resolutions for 2011!

The theme of this year is about {organization}.  I think the worst part of 2010 was how frazzled I felt throughout the year.  Something was always slipping.  Either my house looked terrible or we were all rushed getting out the door or I was exhausted from trying to do too much.  So I'm working on developing a schedule that incorporates the fact that I'm inherently not inclined towards organization.  Instead of trying to turn a 180 and become something that goes against the grain for me, I'm going to just recognize that fact and do the best I can.  I want to spend 5-10 minutes in the morning and at night picking up around the house (so that it doesn't get out of control and overwhelm me).  I want to cook at least twice a week (and I got a new, EASY crockpot recipe book from my mom).  I want to workout 3-4 times a week (even if it's only for 15 minutes).  I want to, at the end of the day, feel good about the balance I'm trying to create between being a wife, mommy, employee, friend, sister, daughter...  Luckily I also have some great friends who have offered me tips and encouragements in 2010 to help me develop this plan.  I am super excited to see where 2011 takes my family!

Derek and Dez 1.1.11

Brent and I enjoyed watching our friends Derek and Dez become Mr. and Mrs. last night.  Brent was an usher in the wedding, so he was all dolled up in a monkey suit.  He didn't like the dress I planned to wear, so I HAD to go buy something new. {grin}  I went a little Picasa collage crazy, but that's nothing new.

I think these 2 are meant to be.  Wouldn't you agree?
The biggest version of The Aggie War Hymn EVER!  Saw 'em off!

More memorable moments

Me and my Mr.  Notice his 'pimp cup' (thanks Derek).  No, I'm not drunk, just having fun.
