The holidays were a very busy time for me this year. Between work and scheduling in five Christmas dinners it made for some really busy days. Here I was thinking that I would be getting some down time. You know, to catch up on things I had been putting off, read some of my new books that I've wanted to crack open. Update my blog since my brain had been buzzing with all sorts of things I wanted to share.
But in reality it's only been this last weekend where I've been getting some time to catch up and take a deep breath.
I finally tackled my desk at home that had been piling up with all things I didn't have time to deal with. And then after Christmas all my presents got piled on there as well. It was nice to get through most of it and feel like I accomplished something. The one thing I noticed the most though was the fact that I have a lot of stuff I don't feel I want to find a place for. I would much rather pack it away in a box since I know I will be doing that soon anyway. We may still be six months out from the wedding but it will take me a while to go through all my stuff and decide what I want to take with me. It will definitely be a hard task since I know there are quite a few boxes in my closet that contain stuff I haven't looked at in years. Which makes me debate just throwing it away all together. Either way, my mindset is changing towards packing instead of cleaning.
It's a new year, and one thing I always do is make yearly goals. Not resolutions, actual attainable, reachable goals. This two is something I haven't had time for. However, it did cause me to think back on 2010 and realize that I'm a really blessed girl.
Looking back on 2010:
In February David and I celebrated two and a half years together
March marked one year working at the church
David and I got engaged in July. (Definitely the highlight of my summer)
November I took my first vacation and spent the weekend in California
And December I bought a car! (Better pics to come soon)
There have been highs and lows, tears and laughter. But I have a job, great family, place to live, an amazing guy whom I love deeply, awesome friends/coworkers, friends who have become closer and a God who loves me more than I can fathom. You know you're truly blessed when you feel content with where your life is at. So 2010 you were a great year. But I'm SO looking forward to all the new things that 2011 has to bring!
