Ten years ago today I was in my junior year of college getting ready to head on a Concert Choir trip to Europe. I had my future in my hands. Since the start of 2000, I have graduated with two college degrees, met my husband, lived in a big city, got engaged, became an Aunt to Karsen, got married to my best friend, moved to a freezing cold city, lived in Iowa for a year, moved to our current city, lived in a duplex, got involved at our church, helped husband open a practice, purchased our first home, worked as a dental hygienist full time for 3 years, became an Aunt to Elliott, became pregnant, gave birth to a healthy little boy, worked 8 months part-time, retired to stay at home with Zachary, taken on some leadership positions at our church, watched a friend fight a battle with breast cancer (she WON!!), lost two of my uncles, and made a ton of memories with my family and friends. I have cried happy and sad tears and experienced a lot of joy!
I am blessed and I am ANTICPATING what God has in store for the next 10 years.
First, I am ANTICPATING a new nephew coming April/May 2010. I am ANTICPATING the building of a new office for my husband. This is a dream in the making. There is a lot still to do for it but we are ANTICPATING the final product. I am also ANTICPATING getting fit. Lastly I am ANTICIPATING a deeper relationship with my husband, son, parents, in-laws, the rest of the family, and most importantly my savior, Jesus.
My personal goals for this year are....
1. To spend more time in prayer and more time in The Bible. I started this book, "The Power of a Praying Parent" by Stormie Omartian. IT IS EXCELLENT! The author Stomie Omartian has a gift of using God's Holy scripture to help me see what my role is as Zachary's mom. There is a workbook too that I have found very helpful. I highly recommend this book! 2. To actually use our workout treadmill and elipitical. My goal is to use it at least 3 times a week. We'll see...
Another goal is to drink more water. I am a huge fan of Diet Coke so this one is hard for me.
