2010....?????....What's in store?

It's been a while since I posted...Christmas has come and gone. This Christmas was a rough one for alot of people, me included! But, we got through it, and we missed the ones that are no longer with us!



And we celebrated a little differently, kids grow up, traditions change... But... I know that life goes on and change is inevitable, so it is best to embrace it instead of trying to keep everything the same! Sometimes change is bad, sometimes good...always exciting!



I can't say that I am sorry to see 2009 go...in fact, I am VERY glad to see it go...and I am looking forward to 2010. LOTS of things happened in 2009 that I would NEVER want to have to go through again..the one GOOD thing that did happen....my sweet little grandson was born, and he is an angel!! So, we won't dwell on 2009, and we will just say it was not one of the Hatley's best!



Some things I am looking forward to in 2010:

1) OUR CRUISE!!!!! We leave in one week!!! Because of Trip's surgery last year, we did not get a vacation, so this is a much needed week of rest and relaxation!! AND it will be in some beautiful places! I can't wait to see St. Thomas...Grand Turk... and San Juan! We are going on a line that we have not been on before,, we will be on Holland America. We can't wait!

2) Going to see our daughter and son-in-law for our daughter's birthday in February! Because of everything that happened in 2009, we didn't get to make the trip to see them as much as we would have liked! But, bless their hearts, they came to see us!

3) A beach trip this summer...or several beach trips, I hope!!! Maybe not for a week at a time, but at least some long weekends!!

4) Scrapbooking more!! I have SOOOO many pictures that need to be scrapbooked, and I do enjoy it! I have taken over the table and the whole back corner of our little den with my stuff. My husband is very sweet to endure my "stuff" being out all the time. But it is nice to be able to do a page whenever I have a little time and not worry about taking everything out and putting everything back up!

5)Riding the motorcycle with my husband more this year! I didn't ride alot last year. That is going to change!!

Things I am going to do in 2010...

1) OF COURSE....try to lose weight! This is SOOO hard for me!!!

2) Get more physically active... I need to start walking, jogging, running..whatever!!! Just need to start MOVING more!!

3) Read the Bible all the way through.. Trip did this last year using a Bible Devotional by John MacArthur. We did a study by him with our small group this past year that was very good. So, I am going to use the same Devotional and go all the way through..(last night was most of the "begots" so at least we hopefully are through with them!! )

4)Morning Devotions with my husband...we started doing this last year in the midst of so much junk going on. It does start your day alot better when you have prayed with your spouse and started your day with your eye on what really matters.

5) Drink MORE water!!! I plan to drink at least 8 glasses a day...I was doing really good with this for a couple of months last year.. and then just slowly decreased my intake...I do fine that the more you drink, the more you want!

Well this is my 10 for 10...what's yours???
