Wow! 2011....It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around the past decade...it went by so fast!! The past 10 years of my life were probably the most significant in all my 28 years and it is a bit frightening to think that the upcoming decades will continue to fly by taking with them Katelyn and Logan's childhood's and so much more. I don't mean to sound depressing, but I've just been reflecting upon events that took place throughout the previous 10 years and I feel like I just rushed through them. Let me explain...my entire life, since I was a little girl all I wanted to do or be was a wife and mommy. Ask my mother those of you that don't know me and she will tell you that those 2 things had always been the goals for my life. So, when I look back on my wedding to Jeremy in 2006 and the births of Katelyn in 2008 and Logan in 2010, I feel like I was just rushing through everything else that took place those years and the other 7, that I didn't appreciate all the little things. So, I'm making a resolution to be more deliberate and to fully experience all of life's little moments. I'm praying that this resolution will develop into a revolution in my life, so that in 2021 I don't have to look back over the years and wonder what little things (and aren't the little things usually the most important) I completely missed. I want to be able to smile looking back on Katelyn and Logan's 1st day of Kindergarten, remembering what they looked like sleeping the night before and I want to remember what Jeremy looks like the night we go out to celebrate our 5th anniversary and everyone after that...
I'm done making silly resolutions that I can't keep past February. I just want to enjoy life and grow in love and relationship with my Heavenly Father. I'm so excited for what this new year holds and I can't wait to see what "little" things I will cherish for a lifetime at the end of 2011!
May your 2011 be so much more than you could ever imagine!
