Goodbye 2014, Christmas Card Roundup

How our 2014 ended....

Maybe next year Seth will look at the camera....and then a year or 2 after that Dallin will!

How my 2015 year began.....

Daddy Joe's taken all of our babies up north for a few days so I get some rest and relaxation time, some time to reflect and set goals, clean and organise, exercise.... Off to a quiet, stress free start. Lucky me!

I'm loving it and missing my family in equal measure

I was glad that last night I had peace and quiet to think through some goals for myself as the new year begins. I've done them in 4 categories.....spiritual, physical, financial and 'other stuff'. I tried to be realistic so I really can achieve success rather than going over the top and bombing out after 3 weeks (I'm a still a 3 week wonder, and I think Faith got that trait from me too!)

So this year for the first time I've decided to have a word. A word that I want to live by, be inspired by, become better by. It was really hard to narrow it down to just one word. There was a short list of about 5 that I wondered about and in the end this won.....

This seemed like a good choice, and then when I read the actual dictionary definition it was like the word was invented for me right at this very moment. Each part of that definition is what I need to remember and make a part of me.

Here's to 2015.....a fresh start is always such an awesome feeling!

And here's a little goals sheet I made for Faith when she gets home
