Goodbye January!

January is over at midnight tonight, and I feel well on my way to a great year! I finished making my first sewing (machine) project today, and I'm going to try to keep making them throughout the year.

 

  

  

Yesterday was a beautiful full moon, and mars was very visible next to it. I tried to take a picture but my camera did NOT want to participate. 

And lastly, here are my cute cats :)

  

See you in February! 

Ella's dance!

I only have two good pictures, but here they are as promised!

 

She was nervous at first 

Here she is at the end getting a rose

I have some very cute video, but all of the pictures have other little girls blocking her. Those kids move fast! 

I really like all of my classes this semester, and participating in a Yoga class twice a week is such a relief! There is even inspiration to be found in the locker room bathroom:

 

 

 

Uhhhhhg

School is taking up a lot of my time, Ella and I are sick, and I have a million other things going on right now. I'm so busy! I just wanted to keep posting so I wouldn't forget.

No camera!

I can't post any pictures today because I don't have my camera on me! I've started school again this past week, so I have had a hard time finding time to post. I feel very positive and happy about school though, and I have been getting a lot done. Yesterday night was Ella's first dance recital, so I'll post some pictures as soon as I get my camera back. Things are going smoothly, and so far 2010 has been a blessing!

Rice and Beans

I had a bit of stress today, Ella would NOT take a nap, and I wasted four hours trying to convince her...I didn't get everything that I wanted to accomplish done today, but I did get a big chunk out of the way. Here are some  pictures of the progress in my room today:

I also made really yummy rice and beans for dinner, which was great because we are vegetarians. I usually find myself rushing around and the dinners I make are not always completely balanced. Another goal!

New Year's goals

This year I made a special calender for all of my goals. I have been slowly starting them, and giving myself a lot of slack this year. But! I've unpacked my last box for the first time since2004!

Here is Ella "Helping"

I'm also making progress making my room into a beautiful space. I even know where to go to get a hold of everything! I'm going to take pictures and post them up here as I get each area perfect.

Booboo approves of my bed area

Hopefully more pictures will be coming shortly!

Trying out this blogging thing...

Ella took this picture

I have recently become a blog lurker, and I absolutely love the inspiration I am finding from reading about other people's daily lives. I decided to start one also, as a record of my own unfolding life.
