Highlights

I haven’t updated my blog for a very long time! I really need to get better about doing that this year. The holidays were great for us. We spent time with family and friends and I had time to really appreciate all the blessings in my life. 2012 is going to be a big year for me! I will be a student teacher and FINALLY finish my degree. Here are some highlights of my 2011:

• Losing 20 pounds
• Seeing the Hoover Dam 
• Playing blackjack at a Vegas casino for the first time 
• Hiring a trainer and getting into weight training 
• Passing the Praxis I and II 
• Turning a whole quarter century old 
• Learning, once again, that life can’t be plotted on a calendar 
• Making jam, sewing making an attempt to be more domestic (finally after 5 years of marriage) 
• Discovering the almighty Pinterest 
• Sadly, losing my grandmother (dad’s mom). I will miss her.

Favorite books I read: The Help, Bloodlines, Hush Hush (I didn’t do nearly as much reading last year as I hope to do this year)

Favorite movies I saw: Harry Potter, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Bridesmaids I don’t really have a resolution for 2012, but I hope to continue with getting more fit, not plotting my life on a calendar, reading lots of books, and finishing my degree. I hope to learn many new things this year. Oh, and update my blog more often!
