NYE 2014

"I'm going to take a picture so you can see the sass you are giving me right now."

So, for New Year's Eve I got a personal trainer. I've wanted one since I had the boys and I've begged my husband to just do it. He is amazingly smart when it comes to anything health/fitness but he has always said nooooo way. He's afraid to hurt my feelings or make me mad.... and most of all, he knows how easily I say, "I don't want to do it anymore" and throw a big hissy fit when it gets too hard. He also says how perfect my body is already and I don't need it.... WHATEV. That's why I love the man so much, but this body needs some bootcamp. So, knowing how much of a tight wad he is.... I strategically told him the other day that I'm getting a personal trainer and what did he say.... "I'LL DO IT!" Win. Worked like a charm. I've already had training sesh #1 and I think he's trying to kill me. I brought out my cute little weights and he laughed and traded me out. This is not going to be fun by any means.

I know, I know.... EVERYONE and their dog makes the resolution to lose weight. It's true... and it's also true that I may fail. But I'm not trying to "get skinny." I want to be fit and most of all, healthy. I want to be a role model for my boys and I would like to not feel like a fatty next to my stud of a husband. haha! I think this is my year... We are taking an anniversary trip to somewhere tropical in July (6 months) and I WILL wear whatever swimsuit and cute summery clothes I want, confidently by gosh! I also turn the big 3-0 next year and I would really like to be living a healthier life style by then. I think I'll try to blog more, maybe to keep me on track.. but let's be honest, that might not happen. I always have great intentions on keeping the blog up to date and it gets worse and worse by the year.

Most importantly......... 

I can say one thing I accomplished in 2014 was building a better relationship with the Lord. I feel much closer to Him now than I did at the beginning of the year, or ever, and I'll continue to work on myself daily to serve Him better. Corey has become such an amazing God-fearing man that leads our little family with such grace. Our boys are absolutely precious and Christian already has so many great questions and comments about Jesus and heaven. I have an amazing best friend that always points me in the right direction when I need it. My family and church family are so wonderful and so supportive. For all of that, I am truly grateful and blessed.
