Day 1 and my Resolution(s)

My hubby and his cousin are doing the 365 day project and I thought that it would be a wonderful idea to do one as well. I thought it would be fun to post my pictures on facebook, and then come on my blog and post the picture and write a little bit about it. I am hoping that this will get me posting at least something once a day. I hope to post more often.

I looked up the term Resolution and this is what I found:

 a resolve or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.

The word resolution becomes a common word to use around this time of year and usually it just means something you hope to do, but probably won't. My goal is to be a woman of my word, therefore when I say I am making a resolution, I mean I am making a firm determination to change to do something new. 

I want to take more pictures in the year 2012, I want to post more often, I want to be healthier, I want to try new things. This past year was a bit tough and I am hoping for a more promising and better new year! 

Day 1- 

 This is a picture of a drawing my oldest brother-in-law made of our family. My hubby and I are the ones sitting by the cat on the far right. My hubby's family has meant the world to me and I love them dearly, so I thought why not start the new year with them! 

And, just a few pictures from the holidays:

This month I have really been thanking God, a lot more than I have before. Something that I realized at some point in my life is that God really would like to hear our thanks, and not just our complaints. So, when I start a prayer, I always start by saying thanks. However, this month most of my prayers have been prayers of thanks and praise. My heart is more thankful too, not just my words. It really is a great place to be, to know that you are in the center of God's will and to be thankful for it.

I am really thankful for my amazing family! My Mom and Dad are truly amazing people that I look up to so much. My wonderful, handsome, funny hubby! My little brother and first best friend, Stevie! My Mother and Father-in-law who are always willing to hang out and play game with my hubby and me! My three brothers-in-law, Brandon, Aaron, and Josh, great older brothers to my hubby and great friends! My sisters-in-law, Amanda, Eryn, and Breeann, wonderful women that I love getting to know. My three nieces that I love so much and that are such blessing, Aimee, Payton, and soon to come SophiaMarie. Our(Hubby's and mine) grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, etc. Every single one of them I am thankful for and couldn't ask for a better family!
