Happy New Year

We hope everyone rang in the New Year in style. This year, like every other, I've made some resolutions and hope to make this year a grand one; working to do better, live healthier and be greater. Working to improve your life each year are really what new year's resolutions are all about, right? :)

First, I have kept last year's resolution to get healthy and maintained my 30+ pound weight loss to date, but in striving to make this year better, I've re-committed myself to another 20. Ron has been working out and his body looks fantastic so I'm aligning myself with him as my personal trainer. (This one may require extra devotion to the next resolution^^)

Secondly, I resolve to make my marriage even stronger: to work on balancing our time together with time to ourselves (golfing for Ron, pedicures and girlfriends for me), to have dates with my husband, my love, my rock (we have some trusty babysitters now), and to continue to have patience, trust and understanding...even if I don't want to work out, I should trust that Ron actually knows what he's doing.^^

And finally, I look forward to another year with Ella, the light of my life. Her joy, curiosity, wonderment and spirit make every day a blessing. I am "Mommy/Mama" to the best little girl in the world. She is kind, loving and joyous - what more could I ask for? As I continue to guide her and teach her, I strive for the knowledge, good judgment and patience to get her through her "terrible twos".

May 2008 be as fantastic as the last! We wish you all love, peace, prosperity and good health in the year to come.
