The new freshness of a new year! man, it came around quick.....
I dont know how well 2010 treated you--- for me, about the same as 2009 and 2008 .... not good... not bad... years that I struggled with a job, moving, school... various issues... anyways...
as I look back on 2010 ---
Im trying to think of what all happened - I met alot of new people, I started getting back into church - Simon came back to dfw, :) i had lost my job in 09, but temporarly got one with the same company - and kinda enjoyed working in that department... my apartment got broken into, my life felt pretty violated (i still fear everyday walking into my home and something happening.) I moved... unexpectedly. Then the job that I had, decided that i wasnt a good fit. --- so more job looking - I ended the year with a few interviews- and now Im off to do a new job. im nervous and kind of excited about it...They will just be trying me out for a month to see how its going... and see how it works out. - its part time- not realy the pay im used to, so we will see how far it goes.
I think this year is going to be a year of alot of change.....
I hope that I will be going to UNT in the fall of this year, which would be the most super awesomething to happen in a really really long time. i cant wait to get up there and go to school.... I hope to get more photography sessions in to take peoples photos... i really would like to get my own business going, so i dont have to work for anyone else.
but prob wont happen this year.
ok so new years resolutions:::::
im not really one to make resolutions... but here we go... ive gotta make some changes to my life... i know a few of them are cliche.... but yeah...
i only have a couple --- we will see how I turn out.
- More time with God.... reading the Bible, praying, working on youth lessons... more time to focus on Him :)
- Less computer time.... and more time doing other stuff.. reading, studying, tv, chores... something besides just sitting on the computer.
- Eat healthier.... More salads, veggies, more water.
- excercise more... walking, biking... something besides sitting on my rear end. :)
- Get more organized... im fairly organized, but I gotta get rid of stuff that i dont use and keep it all clean.
- Get more accomplished with my 101 List
