Hello 2011, its so nice to see you

YAY! 2011 is finally here. Last year was neither great nor horrible, just one of those years that you deal with, so here I am in 2011 hoping this year is GREAT, FABULOUS, TERRIFICAL! Come April it will have one fabulous addition, Miss Aspen Noelle Brantley will be making her debut! I should also be graduating from The Art Institute with a degree in Interior Design. Almost a decade in the making but at least I never gave up.

So on to the purpose of this blog post: goals for 2011! (If I write them down somewhere public people can get on me if I am not doing them.)

1. Get to California - ticket is bought, so this should be an easy one ;)
2. Finish school
3. Eat healthier, not going over board but actually making wiser choices in food.
4. Get another room renovated in the house - Aspen's room does not count
5. Work on crossing off some of my 30 before 30!
6. Work on my craft projects. Make some extra cash!!
7. Get a job I appreciate and that appreciates me back.
8. Weed out the bad people in my life. I need more two-way relationships instead of one-way relationships.
9. Get active. . .pregnancy has given me an excuse to be lazy.
10. Put together my recipes.

I think 10 is a good place to stop. These goals aren't set in stone and I am sure some will just get knocked off but these are some of the things that have been needing to get done so there we go.

For 2011, I need to keep telling myself that I am important and worthy of everything that I want. I need to be more selfish with my time and quit wearing myself thin trying to please everyone. I also need to realize that I have feelings and I should express them instead of wearing the happy face all the time. Its important to express myself and quit worrying about how people perceive me. If they want to be a friend they should understand all aspects of me instead of just the good. I am a GREAT person! I just need to remind myself of that!

As I sit here and write this I realize there is so much potential for this year, the things I can do and create. I am ready, bring it on, there is nothing holding me back. Bring it on 2011. I am ready for whatever you have for me!
