{ Hello, 2011 }

There were MANY words that I had swirling around in my brain for my 2011One Little Word.
But, for this year I chose : ACTIVE

 

I have never felt better than I did 2 years ago when I was 40 pounds lighter than I am right now, and was running on a regular basis.
And, I am very sure that getting to a place where you feel good about yourself, helps many other pieces of your happy puzzle fall into place as well.

So, in 2011, my word is: ACTIVE

While my main focus as far as New Year's Resolutions go, is to simply be more active, there are many other things that I am looking forward to facing in 2011.

John and I are really working hard on being better at budgeting.
I have actually had a ton of fun researching some budgeting ideas, reading Dave Ramsey and putting a plan into place to kick off 2011.  We are really excited about it, and I am very hopeful that my {Hello, 2012} post is going to include the words we are debt free!

{2011} Is sure to bring us many, many busy evenings and weekends, with Basketball kicking off here in just a couple of weeks, and Softball and LaCrosse right around the corner.
We are also jumping a little deeper into 4-H this year. 
Madi and Deven will both be doing an animal (Madi a lamb, and Deven and I are still debating what he will do.)  Along with me co-leading another more general club with 2 other awesome, awesome, awesome ladies.  I am very much looking forward to this year, and I believe this will be a great adventure for all three of my kiddo's!

So, in a nutshell, I hope to keep my head above water and make the best of the crazy busy schedule that is about to become our norm.
I have very much enjoyed having both November and December's calendar's pretty close to bare.  Those evenings at home have been very much needed, and appreciated.
But with January comes the next 5 months of a very, very full calendar.

{Hello, 2011}
Welcome!
Please, please, please be good to us!

Misty, Active is a very good word. My word for the year is Commitment. Commitment to my eating plan, my workouts and to serving Jesus wholeheartedly.

Happy New Year.
