A long, long time ago (2008), my family looked like this:
Nowadays(2010), my family looks, bigger, older...and maybe a little bigger in other ways too. (like around the waistline...ha!):
So many things have changed. I've realized that many of those things have happened just as time has gone by and without any planning on my part. I liked it that way! But with the new year, I've been thinking it's not a terrible idea to have some tangible goals for 2010.
I've been reading blog posts by an author named Donald Miller, who has greatly influenced my thinking on New Year's Resolutions and have decided to tell a story with 2010. (Check out part 1 of Miller's ideas here, and part 2 here) Instead of setting goals that are the means...I want to decide what I want the end to look like. With those stories in mind, the details can fall in place to make those larger stories happen. That being said, here are the stories I want to be telling when December rolls around at the end of this year:
1. I want to have memorable stories of great one-on-one dates with Tommie for each of the months this year.
2. I want to host friends in my house for at least 2 parties that have nothing to do with our ministry at church.
3. I want to share happy, memorable mealtimes with my family that include local, organic and just plain good food.
4. I want to tell great stories about the fun I had taking a dance class with my friends at the rec center.
5. I want to vacation with my extended family.
Here's to 2010!!!!

Love it! What kind of dance class are you taking? In college my girlfriends and I took ZUMBA together and loved it! Have fun.
