I have never been one to consistantly keep a diary or a journal...but I wanted to give a weblog a try:) Wish me luck! I think it will be a good way to start off the New Year. I'm hoping for a NEW me in this NEW year! Ready or not 2011...here I come!
2010 was a year in my life that was full of many ups and downs. We made a decision as a family, to have a fresh start & re-locate to Indiana. Some may think we were crazy for leaving the only place we've ever know...but I think it was a brave & smart thing to do. The cost of living in IL was getting out of hand, but the main reason we left is our daughter's education. The school district we are in now is 1 of the top rated in the state. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out the mascot for Alyssa's school district is a bulldog with red colors...same as mine was & same as MY Mom's was, pretty cool, huh?! The only complaint I have is the 8 mile drive to the school...we were spoiled before with school being only a minute away! Our new house is newer & I love it! I think this is a beautiful area and I am happy we made the choice we did. Also, we are SOOO lucky we sold our home in such a short amount of time (for just a little under asking price) in this terrible economy. I thank God for that & see it as a sign that moving was the right thing to do. It's also pretty neat that our street is St. Joseph...like the statue I buried to sell our old house!
Now to get on with my New Year's resolution...eat healthy (the whole family), exercise & lose weight! I started on my weight loss journey today & coincidentally The Biggest Loser starts tonight too! I won't post my starting weight...but every Tuesday I will post my weight loss for the week~wish me luck!!!
