Looking Back

So I dug up an old post about my 2009 goals...let's just say I was a little too ambitious at the beginning of last year. I guess that's what the New Year is all about though..having high hopes for all the possibilities that the next 12 months might hold. I just thought it would be fun to follow up on those 2009 goals...Here we go!

Books to Read

Beyond Belief:Finding the Strength to Come Back Finished it and it
s a great read for anyone that's known someone with an addiction
Life Under the Banner of Heaven Didn't read
Multiple Blessings I really didn't care to read this after the infamous divorce of Jon and Kate
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands Didn't read, but it's on my list for 2010 for sure! I love Dr. Laura!

Only met 1/4 in this group, that is terrible!

I had a great year though, and I am very happy with what was accomplished for the year. We moved, which wasn't planned so that throws a wrench in things. Check back in, aren't you excited to see what my goals are for '10? Me too!!!!
