2009. Its almost over. I am looking forward to the year 2010. (I LOVE "even numbers".)
The year 2009 was hard. It was also the BEST year of my life. For once, I was able to truly understand God's love for me. MORE than ever in my whole life. I was able to let go of some things that I wish I thought I controlled.
I felt like I was knocked down so many times, and yet picked RIGHT back up, forced to depend on God more than I ever have before. I struggled alot, and yet I was free. Free from alot of garbage I had going on in my heart. I am glad the year 2009 is over, and yet I know that I will never forget it. It has been a year that has changed my life. Changed my heart and soul. And changed ME.
I am a Visionary. I love to have a vision for something and achieve it. I love to think of NEW and exciting things and tackle it. I love to dream about it and pretend it is real. I am absolutely in a place in my life where I want to do something BIG. I mean.. not like anything TOO big.. just something AMAZING. I have ALOT of visions for 2010, things I WANT to achieve. I know what you are thinking... a New Years Resolution. I hate those. They are just NOT my style.
But, here are some little things I am having visions about for the year 2010!
1. ~ Make more Cupcakes~
Lots of Cupcake making this year! I want to visit EVERY cupcake shop in the area, and who knows?? maybe open my very own Cupcake SHOP? :) I wish.

Trophy Cupcakes
2. ~Wear more Dresses~

3. ~Socializing~
I am terrible about updating my blog. I am Terrible at returning PHONE calls. I am super SOCIAL. I LOVE to talk on the phone.. I just dont ever answer my messages or return the phone call. This year I am going to do better. I am going to keep in touch with my Grandma more and call my friends back in a timely manner. I am going to try to update my blog on a regular basis. AND yes.. if you REALLY need to get ahold of me, just facebook me:)

4. ~Go Camping~
Growing up, my dad took me camping ALOT. And no, not just regular camping... we ROUGHED it. I am sad that I dont take my kids camping as much as I should. This year, we are CAMPING. Hopefully in one of these:

I want to go here:
Which brings me to another "vision" for the year 2010.
5. ~More BEACH~
My brother lives in California. My dad and I took a road trip to California and it was Amazing. I LOVE the beach. I love the waves crashing, the sand in my toes, and the breeze. This year I want to take my family HERE! A place I stood 2 years ago and hoped to take my family.

Pismo Beach, California.
I want to laugh more in the year 2010. I want to dance more. Invite people over More.
Make a difference MORE.
Learn about my husband more. Hug my kids more. Read my bible more. Pray more. Listen to people MORE. OPEN my heart more. Enjoy LIFE more.

I want to do more than I did in the year 2009.
I want to BE more. I want to REALLY start living.

I am REALLY looking forward to the year 2010.
Happy New Years!
