Another year has come and gone and it is the time of year to make our resolutions. Every year they tend to be about the same and I think most people have very similar resolutions. I usually resolve to get organized and to get healthier. Both of those are on my list for this year, but I already got a headstart!
I spent most of last week and weekend purging and organzing my house! The upstairs tends to be neglected most of the time. I had BOXES of baby clothes in the attic and the guest bedroom closet was full of my brother's belongings. We were swimming in toys and clutter! I am happy to say that everyting has been reduced and we dropped off bags and boxes of things at goodwill and a big pile a crap was just picked up by our local trash collector. I have a box of baby clothes to give to a family at church and then some clothes to sell on ebay( which I have seperated into lots and picked up some boxes at the post office this morning!)!! Can I tell you how much better I feel and how much more pleasant it is to walk into my kids rooms and not feel like I am walking into an overwhelming mess?!?! Awesome!! I really wish I would have gotten a picture of the mountain of clothes in the floor, but I didnt!
Getting healthier is never fun! As I told my grandpa last week-its sure is a whole lot more fun to get fat then it is to get skinny!!! But I am proud to announce that I am well on my way to a new healthier me! Since the birth of Sophie Lyn I have lost 40 lbs!! Holy Crap! Thats a big number! but the sad part is that I have 30to 35 more to lose to get to my goal weight; however, I do feel good about my progress and am excited about losing the rest. My grandpa gave me a great compliment last week and said I was "starting to look like Leslie again".
Other resolutions include keeping this thing updated. I am going to try to take my mother's perspective and look at this like a journal. Along with this goes the resolution to take more pictures of my beautiful family .I have 2 unpublished posts waiting for me to add pictures-that is my goal this week, but I do resolve to do better and try for a PUBLISHED post per week.
Lastly, my house!
I could go on and on with goals and resolutions, but dont want to get overwhelmed and then not do anything! I wish you all luck and hope for success on your New Year's Resolutions!!!

Wishing you much success with the resolutions. You have made enough for 2 people so I don't have to make any!
