Holy Moly it's number 6!

We are officially 6 weeks into 2011!

I have had such an amazing year so far. Today is my first Valentines day with my husband, and as he is whipping up a fabulous dinner I am relaxing on the couch with the puppies playing around me, drinking a glass of white wine and munching on some smoked salmon spread a la Whole Foods! I love everything about my life right now... My new job, the amazing feeling I get every single day as I learn more and more about baby photography, spending time with my husband and puppies AND our dog hair-free couches courtesy of Mr. Dyson! I can't believe how much life can change in a matter of weeks, but I feel like a whole new me! (And the 5 inches of hair I got chopped off helped a little!)

Ill get a better photo taken soon. The color isn't quite as light as it is in the photo. It has blonde, brown and red streaks in it in real life. I also finished my 12th book for 2011 and started on number 13! It helps that I have time in airports to read, but a lot of my reading just gets done in the morning while I drink my coffee, or at night before I fall asleep. I just enjoy it :) 

Alright, so i'm sure you all know that I am following along with Mara for this year and making a new small resolution, or a few, for each week! It's really helps me to focus and determine what is really important as I go through the motions of the week, and so far so good! My goal this week is simple....

Week 7

1. Spend as much time for myself as possible! Cuddle with the puppies, spend time with my husband... I have an entire week here in KC training at a local hospital and I plan to make every moment count, and really have some quality time together. Who knows where the plane will take me next week! 

I hope everyone has a FABULOUS Valentines Day. Now, I will be getting back to my husband, the beautiful roses he got me, the delicious smells from the meal he is cooking....and laughing at my puppies as they attempt to persuade us into dropping food in their mouths! 

Happy Love Day!!!!!!!

2 of 52!

Last monday I decided to follow along with Mara, posting a different goal/resolution each week for the entire year. 52 resolutions in all! Last week I had 3, including hitting my Zumba class a few times and rocking my interview! Well done, and done! I got the job and last week was an amazing week!

So now I sit here, on monday again. A week has passed and right now as I look outside the world looks fresh and new... The 10" of snow that fell overnight definitely help matters! As the snow is softly falling outside, I am in a wonderful world.  I have the beginnings of a delicious stew simmering away on the stove top, I'm enjoying some wonderful girl scout cookies (Shout-outs) with my delicious morning coffee and watching the last season of Dexter with my hubby. Life is beautiful right now.

The view out my window as I sit here typing... beautiful...

Snow just has a way of making the world feel beautiful. All the dirt and grime are blanketed in pure white, creating a beautiful serene view. I just love it...as long as I don't have to go out in it! The perfect setting for my last week of not working. 

My goals this week, aren't about losing weight, they aren't about getting big project done... all I want this week is to spend time with my family and love myself. Here I go....are you ready for this?!

 

Week 2

1. To relax, enjoy time with my husband and relax as I prepare for the craziness of starting work next week!

2. To finish reading, Lord of the Rings The Two Towers. I'm about 50% of the way through and it will be book #2 of the 40 I want to read this year!

3. To figure out Mint.com! I think it's going to end up being an amazing tool for me once my paychecks start rolling in, and i'm really excited to start using it...even if my finances at the moment are a little scary to look at!

What are your goals for this week? 

I think this is going to shape up to be an AMAZING year, one week at a time!
