My top 2 goals for 2009

It is that time of year again....GOALS for 2009.
I have tons of goals this year which I will share when I have more time. Here are my top two goals. #1 Healthy diet and regular exercise. #2 Read the Bible in a year.

For my first goal of eating better I am using the http://www.50millionpounds.com/. Check it out! It is really neat. Michael and I are both in a family challenge with the Jackson's, so we are using this site to help us with food and menu ideas. I am also using the food journal and the exercise log to help me keep track of everything. We are members of a really nice gym and I have several workout buddies to help me stay focused. I love to run so one of my extended goals is to run a half marathon this year. Workout is not hard for me, but eating is my weakness. I love to eat out. Maybe it is because I am home so much...it is a fun getaway. But I also LOVE to cook at home and be creative with healthy foods. My only problem is if I do not plan ahead then we end up eating quick and easy foods that are unhealthy. I have to be better organized. Okay...speaking of that I better move on.

I am also reading through the Bible this year. Being close to God is really important to me. I want to know His secrets. When I spend time fellowshiping with God my life is full. I feel better and think better. So, I found this site and I love it! http://www.oneyearbibleblog.com/ and it uses www.biblegateway.com for your daily reading. From what I can tell in 2 days it seems like everything on the blog is "right on". But you will have to decide for yourself. There will be days that I will be too busy to read this online, but the cool thing is you can download the bible reading to your ipod. Check it out and let me know what you think.

My birthday!

Break is over! Blog, I am back! That was a nice break. I am not sure why I took a break, but oh well. I am going to start from today and work back to February. I am keeping a list of all the things that have happened and one day this blog will be up to date!

First off, today, April 4th is my 29th birthday! I love April 4th! Today I feel more mature and serious! I had a wonderful day! Some of my dear friends surprised me with a day at the spa with a massage, pedicure and manicure! My friend, Annelisa came to the house and watched the girls while I was out alone! I did not get to do the massage as the massouse had to have emergency surgery in the night...bummer for me too! I rescheduled it for Wednesday....something to look forward too. However, the pedicure and manicure was so lovely! Actually it was AWESOME! Then, the girls set up a lunch date with my husband in Austin. Another lovely! It was a wonderful surprise and I so appreciate that gift. In the past 5 1/2 years I have not left my children for very long. Let alone do something just for me...alone time!! It was the BEST gift ever!!
My evening was spent hanging out with the girls. They told me Happy Birthday all day and loved on me constantly. We bought a cake and Mary and Tony came over to celebrate! Sunday we will celebrate with my mommy, daddy, brother and future sister!

Okay, my goal this weekend is to try to get this blog up to date! A lot has happened since February. Lets see, Randy's 27th b-day, Michael and Camille's b-day, my 10 year Anniversary Trip, and my 10k race last weekend.
