2009 Resolutions

I don't know why, but I've never been a big fan of New Year's Eve. Sometimes I wish I could find that midnight party-goer in me, but relaxing at home and taking it easy has always been the better option for me...especially this year. It seems like the time between Christmas and New Year's has really caught up with me in terms of the pregnancy. Before I was going at full force, trying to hide my secret and not let on that my body was going through this major change. Now, I've just been super-duper tired and actually a little nauseated riding in cars. But in the spirit of New Year's, like always, I still come up with some resolutions.
Here they are in no particular order:
1. Lose most of the baby weight before Brad's wedding.
2. To have more self-confidence and to prove it.
3. To dive in and read my Bible more.
4. To not live so defensively.
5. Be able to do 10 pull ups by this time next year.
6. To reach out and mentor somebody.
7. Finally knit those hats for kids with cancer.
8. Budget....really, really BUDGET.
9. Eat more vegetables and fruit. (It's for the baby.)
10. Go with my instincts more often!

Some Big News

Well, as you can tell a ticker has been placed at the top of my blog. Yes, that means that Skye and I are expecting a baby in July. We are totally excited about this and can't wait to share our journey into parenthood with you. We feel very fortunate to have so many friends going through this experience in their own lives, as well. (I'm glad our baby will have little friends to play with.) So, stay tuned for more updates. I'm still absorbing the news, so I haven't been good with posts so far...but I was also waiting to tell the rest of the family and the bosses at work.
