2010 Goals! Excited to share!

So,
I made a goal one year when I was in my late teens .. I made a new years resolution, wrote a list and marked off my goals once I had finished. Too bad I don't have that list now, but 1 thing on it was to quit smoking. Yep, Angela Ruth Kennedy (at the time) smoked for 4-5 years. GROSS! I remember writing that list too. I taped it up on my closet wall so no one else could see it. Penciled off each item once it was complete. I remember it took until August of that year to quit smoking but it felt SO good to quit and I, to this day, am proud of it. My #1 way was to quit paying inside the gas station. Pay at the pump, that way I didn't have to go inside and be tempted. Silly.. but it worked for me!

This year, my goal is to read at least 6 books. I am not a reader; I do not like reading. I have already purchased 5 books so far and am anxious to get them. So, I'll need to add at least 1 more book for my goal to be complete.

My other goal - To be financially debt free! (Well, besides the house and car payments)
*Pay off the credit cards we have
*Save $10,000.00 in emergency funds

That's it. Those two goals will be met by the name of Jesus and I cannot wait to see it happen. I purchased two books this morning. "The Total Money Makeover" and "Financial Peace Revisited". http://www.daveramsey.com/store/dave-ramsey-50-percent-off/c50.html?ictid=hs1

Both books were 50% off on his website, which I was so happy to see, and with UPS shipping, it should be here beginning of the year.

I have one last goal for 2010 - to pray daily.
*For my house to be a home
*For financial peace
*For my husband to be in this with me 100%

I don't make silly goals of "I'm going to lose this much weight" or "Work out this many times a week".. I have Godly goals for 2010 and by the name of Jesus, these goals will prevail and our family will be free from credit card debt!

Now, we are not in too much debt, by any means but this burden of owing someone and then having to pay interest???? Not my cup of tea.

Lord, bless this post.. May it be fresh in my mind. Please bring someone into my life to be my accountability partner.. If he/she is already there, make their presence known in the name of Jesus. AMEN!

Happy New Year! I hope 2010 blesses you the way I know it will bless my family.

Because I am happy..

..I am happy because I worked out yesterday and today. I used to run, a lot.. Like 15-20 miles a week and in the past 6 weeks, I've done NOTHING. So, I was alone at home yesterday and it was pretty. I got outside and walked 1 mile. Would've done more but the boys were home and I thought I'd sit outside with them instead. Then today, I biked 3.5 miles and ran 1/4 mile and walked 1/4 mile. It's pretty sad that I lost what I had gained (running distance is what I mean) but I will get back to it probably after the baby is born. I'm just glad I had enough energy to get out there and do something. I feel really good!

...the end :)

13 weeks.. already!

So, 13 weeks = 91 days pregnant. Phew, that's a long time to be carrying a little one.. only 6 more months to go too! hah

Christmas was nice. It just doesn't seem to be what it was when I was little, but I guess that's to be expected now that I'm all grown up. I received a lot of nice things from Todd and Ayden this year. Ayden bought me some earrings with his own money. It was sooooo sweet to see his eyes when I opened the present from him. He LIT UP with excitement! He's such a special little boy.

I hope Christmas was good to you and hope you get a lot of time off for New Year's Eve/New Year's Day! Thankfully I have December 31st-January 3rd off. It will be nice to sleep in and lounge around again. Waking up at 6:24 was SO hard to do today... But off to work I must go.

12 Week Post-Appt.

So, we heard the heartbeat and have it on video. I JUST LOVE THAT SOUND!! I won't know if I'm having twins (probably not) until I get an ultrasound at 20 weeks. Darnit.

He thinks I am quite normal and look normal for carrying my second child, so I'll go along with it and wear my BeBand and fit into my pre-preggo clothes and smile for now.

1 more week until I'm out of my first trimester.
