End of 2011

The end of the year has already come and gone.  I've been making goals for 2012 and also have been thinking about what 2011 brought for me, here are a few of the highlights...

My Dramatic Breakup With Coffee
I love, love, love coffee!  But 3 cups a day was starting to freak me out!  I couldn't handle all that caffeine. Now it's strictly 1 cup a day, with an occasional extra cup of decaf which is working out quite nicely for me.




A Regular Exercise Routine... FINALLY!
I'm a huge fan of the Zumba Fitness game on the Wii and have been doing it 3 to 4 times a week for a couple of months now. So much fun and I'm glad to finally have a workout routine.



Vacations
This year I treated my husband, mom, and sister to a vacation at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.  (Wish my dad could have gone too but he had to work.)  We had a blast!







For our 7 Year Anniversary, my husband and I spent some time up in Sedona.






And of course our annual family vacation in Newport Beach.



Business Accomplishments.
I took a leap of faith this year and made some changes to how I run my Online Store and tried something new so I could work at it less, and it still did it's best year yet in sales. My business is growing exactly the way I envisioned it and I have so much more planned for 2012!




Friends and Family
This past year we had plenty of good times with our families, they're so important to us.  We were also able to reconnect with a few old friends and make some awesome new friends too!    

I loved this quote I found awhile back... part of it goes, "As we grow up, we don't lose friends, we just learn who the real ones are."  I never put up many pictures of our friends here on my blog just in case they don't want their pictures on the internets (who wouldn't though ;) ) but Eric and I count ourselves very fortunate to have some wonderful friends and an awesome family who would be there for us in a heartbeat.  And of course we would do the same for them!

I'm ready for yet another great year and look forward to reading about all of your adventures in 2012 in this great little community I like to call... the Blogosphere. :)

  4. I'm glad things went well for you last year, especially spending time with family and vacationing with them.

    I want to go to Sedona someday, it looks so beautiful. I wonder how long the drive is from SoCal?
