2010!

I think I'm finally in the mood for updating my blog! After Christmas and our Big Bear trip, I was wiped! And in a funk, just not excited about the new year. No motivation to think of new year's resolutions, just blah. I'm really looking forward to my girls getaway coming up next weekend. I'm in much need to spend a weekend not only with girlfriend but reconnecting to God. I think part of my funk was being on break from our small groups and bible study. Plus I wasn't making time for my much needed quiet time. So I am really praying that next weekend will get me back into motion!

Our New Year's Eve was quiet. I did find a super yummy treat for Anika and I...ice cream! Anika had her first bite of ice cream! and she LOVED it! After the girls went to bed, Will and I stayed cozy by the fire and watched a movie. Aiana spend the night down the street with her girlfriend. New Year's day was beautiful. Aiana was pooped from being up all night, so Will and I took the little girls down to Balboa Park and walked around. The girls loved dancing around the fountain and chasing birds. I delighted in their uninhibitedness.

So in thinking of my resolutions for the year, I want to focus on increasing my capacity for Joy! I keep getting that true joy comes from fully putting my trust in the Lord, and joy will come no matter what the circumstance. I also want to become a more loving person. So I'm opening myself up to invite God to teach me what real love is.
