Welcome 2013

Happy New Year!!!  2013 what do you have instilled for my family and I?  Hopefully, nothing but love, happiness, and good times together.  I am not a resolution kinda gal... current goals are just every day kinda goals;

*I want to read the bible with a new dedication I have never had before.  Not only read it, but understand, follow, and live it daily.  I am 41 y/o and I haven't read the bible with a purpose, only what lessons or sermons we are having.  I really hope I can achieve this and stick to it.  I think it will help my family and steer me in a direction that I have been missing.
*Be a much more dedicated  WMI leader and teacher.  To look at WMI as a an opportunity and not an obligation.

*LOOSE THIS WEIGHT!!! In 2008, I had 2 back surgeries, one in Feb. and one in June.  I not only did I gain a ton whilst being confined to laying bed,  I have never been able to get it off in almost 5 years.  The lowest I have been down, post-surgery was in the 180 #'s and in a size 14 pants.  I am currently at 240.  Only now do I realize I have lost about 40 #'s.  The most I have weighed is 280, so there's 40 gone with out realizing.  Not sure when I lost it.  I am in a size 22 and sometimes that doesn't fit.  I truly would love to make it to 140 pre-surgery weight, but I would most definitely settle for 160 and a size 12.

*Get set financially and be able to pay our bills on time.  Our house will be paid off in 14 months, car in 36 months, and we want take or children on a family vacation this Spring Break (2013).

*Be able to spend more time camping, outdoor activities, and spending time with family.

Pretty boring, eh?  That's just me and my family.  We are just plain 'o folk making a living and trying to live right.  Speaking of boring, right now I should be cleaning house and marking a few things off my Spring cleaning list.  With 18-20 inches of snow out side it's really hard to think about Spring cleaning.  When I could be curled up in my chair with a dog, coffee, and a book.
