It is amazing to me that it is really 2011! I am looking forward to a lot of exciting changes. We should hopefully be moved to our next duty station by July. There are some bittersweet feelings when I think about this move.
Obviously it will mean saying goodbye to friends, a change from what has become the familiar and the norm. I am excited to see where God will take us, but I am trying to enjoy the time I have while it quickly passes!
So, here is a list of things I am enjoying right now:
- Beautiful winter weather! Only in Southern California can you wear jeans, a long sleeved shirt and flip flops in January!!! I am lovin it!
- Trips to San Diego. I love only being 2 hours away from beautiful San Diego! With Mark's military ID, we can stay at the Navy hotel on Coronado Island for an awesome price, and the ocean is so calming.
- Time with Mark. Since we have no family in town and not a lot of friends, we have really bonded together during the last couple of years. We are better and stronger for it, and I am liking that!
- My mom came for a visit this week, and we have had so much fun shopping, baking, cooking, drinking coffee and just talking. I am so bummed that she has to go home!
- Being gluten free for 2 years now! Yay me! It has been a time of learning to see food differently, to value feeling good over what tastes good. I am a different person this year, I have so much more energy that I am beginning to exercise regularly and I am loving the new me.
- Reading my Bible. It is my goal this year to read through the whole Bible for the very first time! I am trying to be consistent, and I am learning and enjoying every minute!
2011 is going to be a crazy year, but I am just planning on taking it one day at a time. There was never a better time then now to appreciate all the wonderful things in my life!
