Its a New Year...

With it being a new year... TWENTY TEN... I thought I would set some new goals. Goals that will help me enjoy each day, take each day a little slower, and hopefully help me accomplish some dreams.

1. plan a trip to europe

2. run (at least three times a week) and finish a race

3. eat healthier, therefore cooking healthier

4. start my side project (website and all!)

5. take at least one picture a day to document 2010

6. spend more time with the ones I love, read more, laugh more, pray often

7. be more grateful for what I have

8. go to the beach more often

9. decorate my house (its always an on-going project!)

10. seize any opportunity I'm given, you never know where they will lead

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Since I'm taking some time off and heading to the mountains to do some relaxing with the family for Christmas, I wanted to send you some holiday cheer and warm wishes as you celebrate the holiday season with family and friends!

Here's to lots of laughter, warm fires, glittering presents, winter evenings, and falling snowflakes....

Cheers!

Thinking about how to decorate a pretty Thanksgiving table...

Happy Halloween!

Being a girl from the midwest, I'm not sure I'll ever get used to the California 80 degree Falls and Halloweens but here's wishing you a Happy Halloween filled with friends and laughter, cool breezes, autumn colors, and hot spiced drinks...
