Happy Healthy New Year

2014 was a great year for us. Everyone was healthy for the most part. We enjoyed spending time with our families. We were lucky enough to make a few trips to the beach. Taking a two year old to the beach is much more fun than the year before. It was awesome to watch him get braver each day. We were able to make some home repairs including new windows, which I am extremely grateful for as I sit in the living room typing this in capris without any draft and I believe its about 30 degrees outside. We were lucky enough to take Jackson to Disney for the first time! He enjoyed it much more than expected. Watching him meet Mickey for the first time brought tears to my eyes. Jackson transitioned to a new school and I can say it was a great choice for us. He has adapted well and made new friends...although he still occasionally asks about AJ (friend from baby school).  This fall we bagged about 50 bags of leaves and I'm sorry to say we gave up. We will hit the rest this spring. The holidays were very special in our house this year as we had our Elf, Lollipop,  come to stay with us. We completed any arts and crafts, Jackson' s favorite.  We are thankful for all our family and friends and the life we are blessed to have. 

In 2015, we pray for continued health. We look forward to the good times we are going to share with the ones we love. We are excited to make more updates and personalizations to our home. I can't wait to continue to watch Jackson grow and learn. My personal goals for 2015 include the typical things like good health and weight loss! But to be more specific, I am going to try to be happy everyday.  I will try to see silver linings, not stress over things, and not take out my stresses on those close to me. Although weight loss would be nice, I will accept myself for what I am. I will continue my spin classes and yoga practice.  I will try to walk more and eat better. And when I fall off this wagon, I will realize I am human and I will start fresh the next day. 

Well that's the plan.  We will see how it all unfolds.  I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year.
