Just do it Update
It is well into the month of March, which is a perfect time to look back at your new year goals, because let's be honest March is when most of us have already forgotten what those goals were! But I have actually done pretty well! Not perfect but I can say I'm proud of myself.
I started that Volleyball group! We play every Thursday night. I just bring the kids and let them play on the sidelines or in the nursery. No excuses!
I started babysitting 2 days a week for four hours and have made a little $$$.
I have pretty much failed at having a project every week, but hey, I'm not perfect...just pretty close.
I went dancing!!! Joseph took me dancing for valentines day! It was a blast. We went with some friends and had a good ole time dancing to a Big Band and I got to wear a new beautiful dress Joseph surprised me with for that night! (Yes, I'm bragging about how amazing my husband is!)
I have also joined a gym and have worked out at least 3 days a week. I'm following this online trainer which tells me what machines to use and what to eat for free. (I'm not doing the diet part...because let's be honest, working out is big enough for now!) And I'm loving it. I feel so much better in the gym, because I actually know what I should be doing and get a much better work out in than if I was just making it up as I go.
And I joined that book club! I've already read two books and I have LOVED the discussions. I didn't once talk about my children, or what diapers they use, or how their nap times have changed! It was so refreshing. It was nice to remember that I can have normal, stimulating conversation.
So there you have it! Pretty good right? This year is going to be great, because I'm going to make it great! Hope you all do the same...Just do it!!!!

Recap
A lot has changed in our lives since I last blogged. Here is a quick recap...
1. WE MOVED! - yep we moved again. We are now is St. Louis Missouri. Joseph got an opportunity to move up and although it was a little risky (new hotel is undergoing big changes, we just bought our house...) it felt right and we decided to go for it. Everything feel into place. Good friends rented out our house, we've had missionary opportunities, and I got called into the Relief Society presidency. So we feel we were meant to be here. And so far I really like it. They have tons of free things to do here...Like the ZOO and a science center, planetarium, history and art museums. They also have TONS of parks! And festivals and fun. It really is a cool place, if only family lived closer!
2. Disneyworld - Oh yeah! We headed to Florida with Shawna and family over Jetta's birthday. It was soo much fun (like duh right?) 4 days of bliss, not to mention the two day drive there and back. Really though, even the road trip was fun. We took our time and split it up, stayed in a hotel and just enjoyed doing what we wanted without any timelines. It was a great to see family and celebrate Jetta's Birthday! Of course her favorite was seeing the characters and princess...and the CASTLE!
3. Thanks giving and Christmas -We got back from Disneyworld the night before thanksgiving, so we figured if we weren't going to do Thanksgiving all out, we might as well go as far from it as possible...so we ate Chinese and loved it!....As for Christmas, it was our first year just with our little family and I really enjoyed it. However, by around 5ish I was ready to head to grandmas or for family to come over. Some day we will be close enough to family to have our own Christmas morning and then gather together with relative in the evening...at least I hope so!
4. Jetta started preschool...what?? My little girl is growing up! She is a smarty (pants) and loves school.
5. Joseph's Birthday- My honey bunches of oats turned 27 years old in January...I kept telling him he's old but he says he doesn't feel it. We are only 3 months apart so I have to tease him the three months he is a year older than me. His birthday was at the end of a huge snow storm her in St. Louis, so all his gifts came let, but we partied with friends and played games...two of his favorite activities.
